Animal domestication has far-reaching significance for human society. The sequenced genomes of domesticated animals provide critical resources for understanding the genetic basis of domestication. Various genomic analyses have shed a new light on the mechanism of artificial selection and have allowed the mapping of genes involved in important domestication traits. Here, we summarize the published genomes of domesticated animals that have been generated over the past decade, as well as their…

Genomic, Transcriptomic and Epigenomic Tools to Study the Domestication of Plants and Animals: A Field Guide for Beginners
TLDR
The theoretical and technical background needed to carry out domestication genomics is summarized, starting from the acquisition of a reference genome and genome assembly, to the sampling design for population genomics, paleogenomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics and experimental validation of domestication-related genes.
Genetic Costs of Domestication and Improvement
TLDR
The evolutionary processes that may contribute to deleterious variation accrued during domestication and improvement are described, and the available evidence for "the cost of domestication" in animal and plant genomes is reviewed.
Genetic costs of domestication and improvement
TLDR
The evolutionary forces that may contribute to genetic load during domestication and improvement are described, and the available evidence for ‘the cost of domestication’ in animal and plant genomes is reviewed.
Variation under domestication in animal models: the case of the Mexican axolotl
TLDR
This study provides a catalogue of thousands of nucleotide variants along predicted protein-coding genes, while identifying genome-wide differences between pigment phenotypes in laboratory populations, in the Mexican axolotl.
863 genomes reveal the origin and domestication of chicken
TLDR
This study suggests that domestic chickens were initially derived from the RJF subspecies Gallus gallus spadiceus whose present-day distribution is predominantly in southwestern China, northern Thailand and Myanmar.
A genome-wide investigation of the effect of farming and human-mediated introduction on the ubiquitous seaweed Undaria pinnatifida
TLDR
It is demonstrated that these three categories of origin can be distinguished at the genome level, reflecting the combined influence of neutral (demography and migration) and non-neutral (selection) processes.
De novo assembly of mitochondrial genomes provides insights into genetic diversity and molecular evolution in wild boars and domestic pigs
TLDR
This study suggests that de novo assembled mitogenomes can be a great boon to uncover the genetic turnover following domestication and downloads 174 complete mtDNA sequences to assess the genetic relationship, nucleotide diversity, and selection.
Revisiting the evolutionary history of domestic and wild ducks based on genomic analyses
TLDR
The results suggest that domestic ducks may have originated from another wild duck population that is currently undefined or unsampled, rather than from present-day mallard and/or Chinese spot-billed ducks, as previously thought.
Genetic Architecture Underlying Nascent Speciation—The Evolution of Eurasian Pigs under Domestication
TLDR
It is shown that pig domestication offers an interesting model for studying the early stages of speciation in great details, and suggests that partial hybrid inviability caused by pervasive but weak interactions among autosomal loci may be a hallmark of nascentSpeciation in mammals.

Whole-genome resequencing reveals loci under selection during chicken domestication
TLDR
The use of massively parallel sequencing is described to identify selective sweeps of favourable alleles and candidate mutations that have had a prominent role in the domestication of chickens and their subsequent specialization into broiler (meat- producing) and layer (egg-producing) chickens.
Analyses of pig genomes provide insight into porcine demography and evolution
TLDR
The assembly and analysis of the genome sequence of a female domestic Duroc pig and a comparison with the genomes of wild and domestic pigs from Europe and Asia reveal a deep phylogenetic split between European and Asian wild boars ∼1 million years ago.
Strong signatures of selection in the domestic pig genome
TLDR
W whole-genome resequencing revealed strong signatures of selection at three loci harboring quantitative trait loci that explain a considerable part of one of the most characteristic morphological changes in the domestic pig—the elongation of the back and an increased number of vertebrae.
The genomic signature of dog domestication reveals adaptation to a starch-rich diet
TLDR
The results indicate that novel adaptations allowing the early ancestors of modern dogs to thrive on a diet rich in starch, relative to the carnivorous diet of wolves, constituted a crucial step in the early domestication of dogs.
The accumulation of deleterious mutations in rice genomes: a hypothesis on the cost of domestication.
Genome-wide SNP and haplotype analyses reveal a rich history underlying dog domestication
TLDR
It is shown that dog breeds share a higher proportion of multi-locus haplotypes unique to grey wolves from the Middle East, indicating that they are a dominant source of genetic diversity for dogs rather than wolves from east Asia, as suggested by mitochondrial DNA sequence data.
Genome-Wide Footprints of Pig Domestication and Selection Revealed through Massive Parallel Sequencing of Pooled DNA
TLDR
Although domesticated breeds have experienced similar selective pressures, selection has acted upon different genes that might reflect the multiple domestication events of European breeds or could be the result of subsequent introgression of Asian alleles.
DNA markers reveal the complexity of livestock domestication
TLDR
By comparing mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences of modern breeds with their potential wild and domestic ancestors, new insights are gained into the timing and location of domestication events that produced the farm animals of today.
The origin of the domestic pig: independent domestication and subsequent introgression.
TLDR
Clear evidence was obtained for domestication to have occurred independently from wild boar subspecies in Europe and Asia, and the data indicated a hybrid origin of some major "European" pig breeds.
Genome sequence, comparative analysis and haplotype structure of the domestic dog
TLDR
A high-quality draft genome sequence of the domestic dog is reported, together with a dense map of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across breeds, to shed light on the structure and evolution of genomes and genes.
