derived from neural crest cells, influence aggression and the “fight or flight” behavioral reactions, two responses which are lessened in domesticates [22]. No domestic animal has shared more of its evolutionary history in direct contact with humans than the dog (Canis lupus familiaris, also re...

Mango is one of the world’s most important tropical fruits. It belongs to the family Anacardiaceae, which includes several other economically important species, notably cashew, sumac and pistachio from other genera. Many species in this family produce family-specific urushiols and related phenols, ...
Moving towards an autosomal and paternal marker-based definition of pig domestication The current molecular perspective regarding pig domestication has been fundamentally derived from the analysis of the mitochondrial genomes of pigs and wild boars. Mitochondrial markers are poor predictors of whole-genome ...
by definition. In this sense, artificial selection provides an excellent illustration of a crucial point: selection is not about survival per se but about reproductive success. Thus, the phrase “survival of the fittest,” which was coined by Herbert Spencer (a contemporary of Darwin’s), is ...
For the definition of mango duplicated gene, firstly, the duplicate_gene_classifier module in MCScan software was used to classify the duplicate genes into WGD/segmental duplication (≥ 10 homologous gene pairs in collinear blocks), tandem (consecutive repeat), proximal (in nearby genomic region ...
