Genetic variation of Nigerian cattle inferred from maternal and paternal genetic markers [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
The African cattle provide unique genetic resources shaped up by both diverse tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the assessment of their genetic diversity will shade light on the mechanism of their remarkable adaptive capacities.

Molecular characterization and A1/A2 genotyping of casein beta gene in zebu and crossbred cattle of Bangladesh

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2022
Casein beta (CSN2) is the most explored gene in cattle due to its potential impact on human health. Here, we investigated the entire coding sequence of CSN2 gene except the last two codons for detection of polymorphisms in different cattle populations of

Whole-Genome Analysis Deciphers Population Structure and Genetic Introgression Among Bovine Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
It is known that throughout history and presently, taurine (Bos taurus) and indicine/zebu (Bos indicus) cattle were crossed with other bovine species (e.g., gayal, gaur, banteng, yak, wisent, and bison).

Complete mitochondrial genomes of Bos taurus and Bos indicus provide new insights into intraspecies variation taxonomy and domestication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The taurine and zebuine cattle breeds comprise the majority of the world cattle population but their taxonomic status is still controversial. The two forms of cattle are currently classified as Bos taurus and Bos indicus species and are differentiated ...
