Genome-wide local ancestry and evidence for mitonuclear coadaptation in African hybrid cattle populations

iScience, 2022
Summary: The phenotypic diversity of African cattle reflects adaptation to a wide range of agroecological conditions, human-mediated selection preferences, and complex patterns of admixture between the humpless Bos taurus (taurine) and humped Bos indicus
