A Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence from a Mesolithic Wild Aurochs (Bos primigenius)

The derivation of domestic cattle from the extinct wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) has been well-documented by archaeological and genetic studies. Genetic studies point towards the Neolithic Near East as the centre of origin for Bos taurus, with some lines of evidence suggesting possible, albeit rare...
