Ethiopia is endowed with huge traditional sheep populations spread across diverse ecology and production systems. We investigate genome-wide genetic diversity and population structure of eight Ethiopian Sheep populations genotyped with Illumina Ovine 50K SNP BeadChip assay. Mean genetic diversity...

Muturu cattle, mostly found nowadays in Nigeria, have been classified as an endangered cattle population due to the rapid decline in their population size. They are among the shorthorn West African B. taurus trypanotolerance cattle. Here, we report candidate signature of positive selection obtain...

Domesticated in the tropical humid and sub-humid areas of Asia, the indigenous domestic chickens are now found in all agro-ecologies across the world - including temperate, cold, hot and dry environments - where they sustain the livelihood of millions of small-holder farmers. Despite this, the un...

Background: The history of African indigenous cattle and their adaptation to environmental and human selection
pressure is at the root of their remarkable diversity. Characterization of this diversity is an essential step towards
understanding the genomic basis of productivity and adaptation to s...
At least 150 indigenous African cattle breeds have been named, but the majority of African cattle populations remain largely uncharacterized. As cattle breeds and populations in Africa adapted to various local environmental conditions, they acquired unique features. We know now that the history o...

We analyzed the whole genomes of cecum microbiomes of Ethiopian indigenous chickens from two distinct geographical zones: Afar (AF) district (Dulecha, 730 m above sea level) and Amhara (AM) district (Menz Gera Midir, 3300 m). Through metagenomic analysis we found that microbial populations were m...
