Genome sequencing of the extinct Eurasian wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, illuminates the phylogeography and evolution of cattle

Background Domestication of the now-extinct wild aurochs, Bos primigenius , gave rise to the two major domestic extant cattle taxa, B. taurus and B. indicus . While previous genetic studies have shed some light on the evolutionary relationships between European aurochs and modern cattle, important q...
