Paper out in iScience showing evidence for mitonuclear coevolution in hybrid African cattle
James A. Ward, Gillian P. McHugo, Michael J. Dover, Thomas J. Hall, Said Ismael Ng’ang’a, Tad S. Sonstegard, Daniel G. Bradley, Laurent A.F. Frantz, Michael Salter-Townshend, David E. MacHugh have written a paper on Genome-wide local ancestry and evidence for mitonuclear coadaptation in African hybrid cattle populations (Bos taurus/indicus).
We’re delighted to say that this has now been accepted for publication in iScience. See the doi link here and click the tweet below to see a brief explainer thread.
Very excited to see this paper appear! We found increased taurine ancestry in nuclear genes that interact with mtDNA-encoded proteins in African admixed cattle breeds @UCD_Research @UCDMathStat https://t.co/lUhsFZqRq6
