Journal Article
Lawal, R. A., Martin, S. H., Vanmechelen, K., Vereijken, A., Silva, P., Al-Atiyat, R. M., …Hanotte, O. (2020). The wild species genome ancestry of domestic chickens. BMC Biology, 18(1), Article 13 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-020-0738-1

BACKGROUND: Hybridisation and introgression play key roles in the evolutionary history of animal species. They are commonly observed within several orders in wild birds.The domestic chicken Gallus gallus domesticus is the most common livestock specie...
