BMC Genomics, 20(1) 334. doi: 10.1186/s12864-019-5685-21471-2164http://hdl.handle.net/10451/43059Iberian primitive breeds exhibit a remarkable phenotypic diversity over a very limited geographical space. While genomic data are accumulating for most commercial cattle, it is still lacking for these primitive breeds. Whole genome data is key to understand the consequences of historic breed formation and the putative role of earlier admixture events in the observed diversity patterns.engAnimalsCattleChromosomes, MammalianDNA, MitochondrialEuropeFemaleGene flowGenomicsGenotypeHaplotypesMaleMicrosatellite repeatsPhylogenyY ChromosomeBreedingGenetic variationPopulation geneticsGenomejournal article10.1186/s12864-019-5685-2
