Genomic insights into the population structure and genetic diversity of Ugandan indigenous cattle. [PDF]

Anim Genet
Abstract Domestic cattle in Africa can be categorized as either taurine (Bos taurus) or indicine (Bos indicus) based on their domestication histories from the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius). Close to 150 breeds of indigenous cattle are estimated to exist in Africa and have a complex mixture of B. taurus and B. indicus ancestries.
