Background
Indigenous Sudanese cattle are mainly indicine/zebu (humped) type. They thrive in the harshest dryland environments characterised by high temperatures, long seasonal dry periods, nutritional shortages, and vector disease challenges. Here,...

Journal Article
Kwon, T., Kim, K., Caetano-Anolles, K., Sung, S., Cho, S., Jeong, C., Hanotte, O., & Kim, H. (2022). Mitonuclear incompatibility as a hidden driver behind the genome ancestry of African admixed cattle. BMC Biology, 20(1), Article 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-021-01206-x

Background: Africa is an important watershed in the genetic history of domestic cattle, as two lineages of modern cattle, Bos taurus and B. indicus, form distinct admixed cattle populations. Despite the predominant B. indicus nuclear ancestry of Afri... Read More about Mitonuclear incompatibility as a hidden driver behind the genome ancestry of African admixed cattle.
