• Mapping signatures of positive selection in the genome of livestock (2014, background): “It is however observed that, despite the presence of severe bottlenecks, high levels of inbreeding and intensive selection since domestication, most domestic animal species are genetically diverse (e.g., Muir et al., 2008; Bovine HapMap Consortium, 2009; Kijas et al., 2012).”
