Targeted resequencing reveals genomic signatures of barley domestication

Targeted re-sequencing reveals the genetic signatures and the reticulate history of barley domestication

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the Neolithic founder crops of the early agricultural societies. The circumstances of its domestication and genomic signatures that underlie barley transition from a weed to a crop remain obscure. We explored genomic variation in a diversity set of 433 wild and domesticated barley accessions using targeted re-sequencing that generated a genome-wide panel of...

Yak whole-genome resequencing reveals domestication signatures and prehistoric population expansions

Yak domestication represents an important episode in the early human occupation of the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). The precise timing of domestication is debated and little is known about the underlying genetic changes that occurred during the process. Here we investigate genome variation of wild and domestic yaks. We detect signals of selection in 209 genes of domestic yaks, sev...

Complete resequencing of 40 genomes reveals domestication events and genes in silkworm (Bombyx).

A single-base pair resolution silkworm genetic variation map was constructed from 40 domesticated and wild silkworms, each sequenced to approximately threefold coverage, representing 99.88% of the genome. We identified ~16 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms, many indels, and structural variations. We find that the domesticated silkworms are clearly genetically differentiated from the wild ...
