This study identifies candidate genes for trypanotolerance in African cattle by integrating genomic and transcriptomic data from hybrid populations.

The paper uses genomic and morphometric analyses to show that pigs in Wallacea and Oceania have diverse ancestries linked to Austronesian dispersal 4,000-3,000 years ago.

The paper uses local ancestry inference tools to analyze admixture in African and European cattle populations, identifying functional consequences of ancestry on disease resistance and physiological traits.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing and SNP arrays to analyze Criollo cattle from Colombia and Venezuela, revealing African and Asian admixture and selection signatures linked to adaptive traits.
