Mitochondrial DNA and nonrecombinant parts of Y-chromosome DNA are a great tool for
looking at a species' past. They are inherited for generations almost unaffected because …

Iberian wild goats (Capra pyrenaica, also known as Iberian ibex, Spanish ibex, and Spanish
wild goat) underwent strong genetic bottlenecks during the 19th and 20th centuries due to …

As one of the earliest livestock, sheep (Ovis aries) were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent
about 12,000–10,000 years ago and have a nearly worldwide distribution today. Most of our …

Simple Summary Extensive goat breeding follows principles of sustainable agriculture, and
it can be achieved with local breeds because their genome has been shaped by centuries of …

Eurasia is represented by all climatic zones and various environments. A unique breed
variety of farm animals has been developed in Russia, whose territory covers a large area of …

Genetic polymorphisms, causing variation in casein genes (CSN1S1, CSN1S2, CSN2, and
CSN3), have been extensively studied in goats and cows, but there are only few studies …

Simple Summary Most of the production of sheep's milk is used in the manufacture of mature
cheeses. The milk composition has a strong influence on the technological and organoleptic …

Simple Summary This study explores the genetic diversity of the casein gene cluster, a key
component in milk protein production, across various Bovidae species, including cattle …

Camel milk is known for its exceptional medical uses. It has been used since ancient times
to treat infant diarrhea, hepatitis, insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM), lactose intolerance …

The casein gene cluster spans 250 to 350 kb across mammalian species and is flanked by
non-coding DNA with largely unknown functions. These regions likely harbor elements …
