Genetic diversity of the free-living population of Przewalski's horses in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

Theriologia Ukrainica, 2020
The present study is aimed at evaluating the genetic diversity, genetic status and the extent of hybridization with the domestic horse for the Przhevalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii Poliakov 1881) population free-ranging in the territory of the ...

Genome-wide copy number variation detection in a large cohort of diverse horse breeds by whole-genome sequencing

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Understanding how genetic variants alter phenotypes is an essential aspect of genetic research. Copy number variations (CNVs), a type of prevalent genetic variation in the genome, have been the subject of extensive study for decades.

Whole genome sequence and analysis of the Marwari horse breed and its genetic origin [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of the earliest domesticated species and has played an important role in the development of human societies over the past 5,000 years.

Cranial shape diversification in horses: variation and covariation patterns under the impact of artificial selection [PDF]

, 2021
The potential of artificial selection to dramatically impact phenotypic diversity is well known. Large-scale morphological changes in domestic species, emerging over short timescales, offer an accelerated perspective on evolutionary processes.

A 'long-fuse domestication' of the horse? Tooth shape suggests explosive change in modern breeds compared with extinct populations and living Przewalski's horses [PDF]

, 2016
Archaeological and molecular data suggest that horses were domesticated comparatively recently, the genetic evidence indicating that this was from several maternal haplotypes but only a single paternal one. However, although central to our understanding

Andrological and cytogenetic investigations of an infertile Przewalski's stallion [PDF]

, 2021
The case of an 8-year-old, sexually active but infertile Przewalski's stallion (Equus ferus przewalskii) was studied. Besides the infertility, the stallion also showed permanent problems with its body condition, being obviously weaker than all the other ...

Genetic diversity of common Gasterophilus spp. from distinct habitats in China

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Gasterophilus species are widely distributed around the world. The larvae of these flies parasitize the digestive tract of equids and cause damage, hindering horse breeding and protection of endangered species.
