Description:
Article Based on whole genome resequencing of more than 80 wild and domestic yaks from high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this study recovers demographic and genetic processes underlying the domestication of this animal. Qiu et al. also identify genes and associated pathways as candidates for selection during the domestication process.
