In the context of the general phenomenon of diminishing genetic diversity, especially in
cattle, the conservation of endangered species plays a primary role. The disappearance of …

Abstract Background During the Neolithic expansion, cattle accompanied humans and
spread from their domestication centres to colonize the ancient world. In addition, European …

We used genome‐wide SNP data from 18 local cattle breeds from six countries of the Alpine
region to characterize population structure and identify genomic regions underlying positive …

Identifying genomic regions involved in the differences between breeds can provide
information on genes that are under the influence of both artificial and natural selection. The …

The Maremmana cattle is an ancient Podolian-derived Italian breed raised in semi-wild
conditions with distinctive morphological and adaptive traits. The aim of this study was to …

Simple Summary Although Europe was not a primary centre of cattle domestication, the
