Popis: Chen, Xu, et al. performed a population genetics analysis of the eight species in the Ovis genus to assess the evolutionary and demographic history of these wild species and its domesticated counterpart. The authors identified a number of introgression events at different time periods, likely associated with the domestication process as well as identify a number of possible genomic targets of domestication.
