This study analyzes ancient Iberian sheep genomes to show how human activities shaped their genetic diversity over 7,000 years, including maritime introduction, Steppe ancestry influx, and Roman-era expansion.

This study analyzes the population history and genetic diversity of Anatolian and Cyprian mouflons compared to other sheep lineages, finding genetic affinity with domestic sheep and disparities in diversity and mutation load.

This study uses whole-genome sequences of 63 sheep breeds and wild relatives to reconstruct the demographic history of Western sheep, finding a domestication event around 9000 years ago and a westward expansion around 5000 years ago.

This study analyzes ancient sheep genomes from the Baltic Sea region to show long-term continuity of short-tailed breeds and loss of genetic diversity in modern times.
