Complete mitochondrial genome of wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) reconstructed from ancient DNA.
Extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius), accepted as the ancestor of domestic cattle, was one of the largest wild animals inhabiting Europe, Asia and North Africa. The gradual process of aurochs extinction finished in Poland in 1627, were the last recorded aurochs, a female, died. Some aspects of cattle domestication history and the distribution of aurochs genetic material among modern cattle breeds ...
متن کاملTHE ECOLOGY OF DE-EXTINCTION Pathways to de-extinction: how close can we get to resurrection of an extinct species?
1. De-extinction, the idea that extinct species might soon be resurrected, receives considerable attention in both popular and scientific literature, in particular with regard to its potential ecological and ethical consequences. 2. Here, I review the three main pathways that are being considered at present for de-extinction: back-breeding, cloning via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) and g...
متن کاملThe mtDNA haplogroup P of modern Asian cattle: A genetic legacy of Asian aurochs?
BACKGROUND Aurochs (Bos primigenius) were distributed throughout large parts of Eurasia and Northern Africa during the late Pleistocene and the early Holocene, and all modern cattle are derived from the aurochs. Although the mtDNA haplogroups of most modern cattle belong to haplogroups T and I, several additional haplogroups (P, Q, R, C and E) have been identified in modern cattle and aurochs. ...
متن کاملA Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence from a Mesolithic Wild Aurochs (Bos primigenius)
BACKGROUND The derivation of domestic cattle from the extinct wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) has been well-documented by archaeological and genetic studies. Genetic studies point towards the Neolithic Near East as the centre of origin for Bos taurus, with some lines of evidence suggesting possible, albeit rare, genetic contributions from locally domesticated wild aurochsen across Eurasia. Infer...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA analysis shows a Near Eastern Neolithic origin for domestic cattle and no indication of domestication of European aurochs.
The extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius primigenius) was a large type of cattle that ranged over almost the whole Eurasian continent. The aurochs is the wild progenitor of modern cattle, but it is unclear whether European aurochs contributed to this process. To provide new insights into the demographic history of aurochs and domestic cattle, we have generated high-confidence mitochondrial DNA sequ...
