HMGA (high mobility group A)(HMGA1 and HMGA2) are small non-histone proteins that can
bind DNA and modify chromatin state, thus modulating the accessibility of regulatory factors …

Animal domestication is considered a complex and multistage process that altered
behaviorally, morphologically, and physiologically the domesticates relative to their wild …

A fundamental goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic architecture of
adaptive traits. Using whole-genome data of 3955 of Darwin's finches on the Galápagos …

Background One of the approaches to detect genetics variants affecting fitness traits is to
identify their surrounding genomic signatures of past selection. With established methods for …

Synopsis “Brachycephaly” is generally considered a phenotype in which the facial part of the
head is pronouncedly shortened. While brachycephaly is characteristic for some domestic …

Domestic animals are ubiquitous. In contrast to the biodiversity crisis currently impacting
many kinds of animals and plants, not a single domesticated species is endangered …

Facial morphology is highly variable, both within and among human populations, and a
sizable portion of this variation is attributable to genetics. Previous genome scans have …

The identification of the dwarf phenotype in chicken is based on body weight, height, and
shank length, leaving the differentiation between dwarf and small breeds ambiguous. The …

The high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) protein works as an architectural regulator by
binding AT-rich DNA sequences to induce conformational changes affecting transcription …

Goat farming in Pakistan depends on indigenous breeds that have adapted to specific agro‐
ecological conditions. Pakistan has a rich resource of goat breeds, and the genetic diversity …
