Spatial genetic structure in wild cardoon, the ancestor of cultivated globe artichoke: Limited gene flow, fragmentation and population history
Characterisation is important in genetic resources conservation and utilization. Data of 22,934 goats were collected by a rapid survey method to characterize goats of Eritrea, northern and western Ethiopia. Multivariate analyses were employed in the classification and the tracing of the ancestry ...
With some 180 million head. comprising more than 150 different breeds or populations of taurine Bos taurus, indicine B. indicus and intermediate origin, the African continent is home to an enormous reservoir of cattle biodiversity. Recent archaeological findings are providing new insights into th...
