Journal Article
Alshawi, A., Essa, A., Al-Bayatti, S., & Hanotte, O. (2019). Genome Analysis Reveals Genetic Admixture and Signature of Selection for Productivity and Environmental Traits in Iraqi Cattle. Frontiers in Genetics, 10, Article 609. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2019.00609

The Near East cattle are adapted to different agro-ecological zones including desert areas, mountains habitats, and humid regions along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers system. The region was one of the earliest and most significant areas of cattle hu...

Genome Sequence Analysis Reveals Selection Signatures in Endangered Trypanotolerant West African Muturu Cattle (2019)
Journal Article
Tijjani, A., Utsunomiya, Y. T., Ezekwe, A. G., Nashiru, O., & Hanotte, O. (2019). Genome Sequence Analysis Reveals Selection Signatures in Endangered Trypanotolerant West African Muturu Cattle. Frontiers in Genetics, 10, Article 442. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2019.00442

Like most West African Bos taurus, the shorthorn Muturu is under threat of replacement or crossbreeding with zebu. Their populations are now reduced to a few hundred breeding individuals and they are considered endangered. So far, the genetic variati...

Comparative analysis of the chicken IFITM locus by targeted genome sequencing reveals evolution of the locus and positive selection in IFITM1 and IFITM3 (2019)
Journal Article
Bassano, I., Ong, S. H., Sanz-Hernandez, M., Vinkler, M., Kebede, A., Hanotte, O., …Kellam, P. (2019). Comparative analysis of the chicken IFITM locus by targeted genome sequencing reveals evolution of the locus and positive selection in IFITM1 and IFITM3. BMC Genomics, 20(1), Article 272. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5621-5

Background The interferon-induced transmembrane (IFITM) protein family comprises a class of restriction factors widely characterised in humans for their potent antiviral activity. Their biological activity is well documented in several animal spec...

Genome-Wide Variation, Candidate Regions and Genes Associated With Fat Deposition and Tail Morphology in Ethiopian Indigenous Sheep (2019)
Journal Article
Ahbara, A., Bahbahani, H., Almathen, F., Al Abri, M., Agoub, M. O., Abeba, A., …Mwacharo, J. M. (2019). Genome-Wide Variation, Candidate Regions and Genes Associated With Fat Deposition and Tail Morphology in Ethiopian Indigenous Sheep. Frontiers in Genetics, 9, Article 699. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2018.00699

Variations in body weight and in the distribution of body fat are associated with feed availability, thermoregulation, and energy reserve. Ethiopia is characterized by distinct agro-ecological and human ethnic farmer diversity of ancient origin, whic...
