Taye, T.Wragg, D.Mwacharo, Joram M.Hanotte, Olivier H.[Genetic disconnectedness in indigenous village chickens]Genetic disconnectedness in indigenous village chickens

Genetic diversity studies that utilize phenotypic and genetic information are informative when formulating breeding and conservation plans. The present study utilizes sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region of 232 village chickens from Southern and Northern Nigeria to determine the o...


Adebambo, A.O.Mobegi, V.A.Mwacharo, Joram M.Oladejo, B.M.Adewale, R.A.Iiri, L.O.Makanjuola, B.O.Afolayan, O.Bjornstad, G.Han JianlinHanotte, Olivier H.[Lack of phylogeographic structure in Nigerian village chickens revealed by mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequence analysis]Lack of phylogeographic structure in Nigerian village chickens revealed by mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequence analysis

Oocyan or blue/green eggshell colour is an autosomal dominant trait found in native chickens (Mapuche fowl) of Chile and in some of their descendants in European and North American modern breeds. We report here the identification of an endogenous avian retroviral (EAV-HP) insertion in oocyan Mapu...


Wragg, D.Mwacharo, Joram M.Alcalde, J.A.Wang, C.Han JianlinGongora, J.Gourichon, D.Tixier-Boichard, M.Hanotte, Olivier H.[Endogenous retrovirus EAV-HP linked to blue egg phenotype in Mapuche fowl]Endogenous retrovirus EAV-HP linked to blue egg phenotype in Mapuche fowl

The red jungle fowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six to one. The genetic control for production traits have been well studied in commercial chicken, but the selection pressures underlying ...


Lawal, R.A.Raed, M.A.Riyadh, S.A.Pradeepa, S.Mwacharo, Joram M.Hanotte, Olivier H.[Whole-genome resequencing of Red Junglefowl and indigenous village chicken reveal new insights on the genome dynamics of the species, International Livestock Research Institute]International Livestock Research Institute

Unravelling the genetic history of any livestock species is central to understanding the origin, development and expansion of agricultural societies and economies. Domestic village chickens are widespread in Africa. Their close association with, and reliance on, humans for long-range dispersal ma...


Mwacharo, Joram M.Nomura, K.Hanada, H.Amano, T.Han JianlinHanotte, Olivier H.[Reconstructing the origin and dispersal patterns of village chickens across East Africa: Insights from autosomal markers]Reconstructing the origin and dispersal patterns of village chickens across East Africa: Insights from autosomal markers

The history of the introduction and dispersal of village chickens across the African continent is a subject of intense debate and speculation among scholars. Here, we synthesize and summarise the current scientific genetic and nongenetic knowledge in relation to the history of the species on the ...
