Meta-Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA Reveals Several Population Bottlenecks during Worldwide Migrations of Cattle

Several studies have investigated the differentiation of mitochondrial DNA in Eurasian, African and American cattle as well as archaeological bovine material. A global survey of these studies shows that haplogroup distributions are more stable in time than in space. All major migrations of cattle have shifted the haplogroup distributions considerably with a reduction of the number of haplogroups and/or an expansion of haplotypes that are rare or absent in the ancestral populations. The most extreme case is the almost exclusive colonization of Africa by the T1 haplogroup, which is rare in Southwest Asian cattle. In contrast, ancient samples invariably show continuity with present-day cattle …

On the origin and diversification of Podolian cattle breeds: testing scenarios of European colonization using genome-wide SNP data

AbstractBackgroundDuring the Neolithic expansion, cattle accompanied humans and spread from their domestication centres to colonize the ancient world. In addition, European cattle occasionally intermingled with both indicine cattle and local aurochs resulting in an exclusive pattern of genetic diversity. Among the most ancient European cattle are breeds that belong to the so-called Podolian trunk, the history of which is still not well established. Here, we used genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data on 806 individuals belonging to 36 breeds to reconstruct the origin and diversification of Podolian cattle and to provide a reliable scenario of the European colonization, throug…

Additional file 2: Figure S1. All modelled scenarios for colonization tested in the ABC framework. Description: In all the tested scenarios, we assumed that taurine and indicine cattle separated first. Subsequent reduction in effective population size was modelled to take the two independent domestication events that occurred in the Fertile Crescent and the Indus Valley into account. From these known evolutionary events, two sets of scenarios were built. The first three scenarios mirror to two different waves of migration, an early Neolithic migration involving non-Podolian taurine cattle and a secondary migration involving Podolian cattle after their genetic admixture with indicine cattle …
