Analyses of pig genomes provide insight into porcine demography and evolution

This study presents the assembly and analysis of the genome sequence of a female domestic Duroc pig and a comparison with the genomes of wild and domestic pigs from Europe and Asia; the results shed light on the evolutionary relationship between European and Asian wild boars.

Sequencing and automated whole-genome optical mapping of the genome of a domestic goat (Capra hircus)

An instrument for whole-genome optical mapping is used to assemble the genome of the domestic goat into super-long scaffolds.

Convergent genomic signatures of domestication in sheep and goats

The sheep and goat were domesticated ~10,500 years ago in the same region of the Middle-East. Here, Alberto et al compare the genomes of wild Asiatic mouflon and Bezoar ibex with that of domestics from local, traditional and improved breeds and find common targets of selection related to domestication and improvement in sheep and goats.

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for cattle stature identifies common genes that regulate body size in mammals

Meta-analysis of data from 58,265 cattle shows that the genetic architecture underlying stature is similar to that in humans, where many genomic regions individually explain only a small amount of phenotypic variance.
