This article describes the complete sequences of the mitochondrial DNA displacement loop (D-loop) region and cytochrome b gene from domestic goats in Laos (Laos native) and wild goat “markhor” (C. falconeri). The wild goat “bezoar” (Capra aegagrus) has been considered to be the strongest candidate for the ancestor of the domestic goats (C. hircus); however, there is not sufficient molecular data to verify the hypothesis at present. In phylogenetic analyses, two wild goats, the markhor and the…

Evolutionary history of wild goat (Capra aegagrus) and the goat (C. hircus) based on the analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA polymorphism: Implications for conservation and for the origin of the domestication
TLDR
A large genetic diversity, corresponding to a large number of mtDNA haplotypes, was captured at the initial step of the effective domestication of goats, and this data supports a new two-step large-scale domestication scenario for goats.
Evolutionary history of the genus Capra (Mammalia, Artiodactyla): discordance between mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome phylogenies.
Mitochondrial DNA diversity of Pakistani goats.
TLDR
The phylogenetic analyses and sequence divergence established four distinct mt-lineages termed as A, B and C (previously reported) and a new lineage D, which suggested that at least four different strains of wild Capra might have been the source of the modern domestic goats.
The mtDNA catalogue of all Portuguese autochthonous goat (Capra hircus) breeds: high diversity of female lineages at the western fringe of European distribution
TLDR
This work analysed the female gene pool of all Portuguese autochthonous breeds through the mtDNA HVI sequencing of 288 unrelated animals sampled throughout the country to confirm that goats stand out among most of domesticates as exceptionally diverse and showing an unparalleled degree of mobility of animals used for reproductive purposes.
Evidence for Introgressive Hybridization of Captive Markhor (Capra falconeri) with Domestic Goat: Cautions for Reintroduction
TLDR
Levels of differentiation between some Capra falconeri lineages and modern domestic goats were similar to levels between other wild goat species and domestic goats, suggesting occurrence of shared ancestral polymorphism among markhor subspecies and/or ancient or recent gene exchange between subspecies.
Mitochondrial DNA Analysis of Ancient Domestic Goats in the Southern Caucasus: A Preliminary Result from Neolithic Settlements at Göytepe and Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe
This study presents preliminary results of mitochondrial DNA analyses of modern and ancient domestic goats in the southern Caucasus in order to examine their phylogenetic relationship with modern and…
The Origin and Genetic Status of Insular Caprines in the Eastern Mediterranean: A Case Study of Free-Ranging Goats (Capra aegagrus cretica) on Crete
The history and species status of free-ranging goats inhabiting the Eastern Mediterranean islands is discussed with reference to morphometric, archaeological and genetic findings. A case study on the…
mtDNA diversity and phylogeography of some Turkish native goat breeds
TLDR
The haplotype number, higher nucleotide and haplotype diversity values, indicate that Turkey has been situated in a central position during the domestication process of the goat specie, and gave hints that conservation flocks should be promoted immediately in local breeders for Norduz breed, which is under risk of extinction.
Phylogenetic reconstructions in the genus Capra (Bovidae, Artiodactyla) based on the mitochondrial DNA analysis
TLDR
It was demonstrated that C. pyrenaica and C. ibex were extremely close to one another and Capra sibirica formed an outer group relative to the other species, and according to data, was the most ancient species of the genus.
Molecular investigations on the Rajanpuri strain of Beetal goat breed of Pakistan by complete mtDNA displacement region and microsatellite markers
TLDR
The qualitative test of mode shift analysis supported the results obtained under three models, indicating the presence of a recent genetic bottleneck in the Rajanpuri strain, and provides the first information on the mtDNA architecture, genetic diversity and bottleneck analysis, which will be useful in the conservation and management of the highly valued RajanPuri goat.

Bezoar (Capra aegagrus) Is a Matriarchal Candidate for Ancestor of Domestic Goat (Capra hircus): Evidence from the Mitochondrial DNA Diversity
TLDR
A neighbor-joining and parsimony phylogenetic tree constructed using the sequences showed that the domestic goats and the bezoar belong to the same cluster, while the markhor showed a distinct cluster separate from that of the domestic/bezoar cluster.
Mitochondrial DNA variation and evolution of Japanese black cattle (Bos taurus).
TLDR
Complete mitochondrial DNA displacement loop sequences from 32 Japanese Black cattle are described and the analysis of these data in conjunction with previously published sequences from African, European, and Indian subjects suggest an interchange of variants that may be ancient, perhaps a legacy of the first introduction of domesticates to East Asia.
Evidence for two independent domestications of cattle.
TLDR
Application of a molecular clock suggests that the two major mtDNA clades diverged at least 200,000, and possibly as much as 1 million, years ago, as evidence for two separate domestication events of different subspecies of the aurochs, Bos primigenius and Bos taurus.
Evolution of the cytochrome b gene of mammals.
TLDR
Comparisons of these cytochrome b sequences support current structure-function models for this membrane-spanning protein, which suggests that the outer surface which includes the Qo redox center is more constrained than the remainder of the molecule, namely, the transmembrane segments and the surface that protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix.
Phylogenetic affiliation of ancient and contemporary humans inferred from mitochondrial DNA.
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis indicated that part of the Asians, including the Japanese, subsequently diverged from the majority of Africans, and that Asians can therefore be separated into two distinct groups.
Effect of mitochondrial DNA variation on carcass traits of Japanese Black cattle.
TLDR
It is suggested that cytoplasmic genetic effects are important sources of variation for carcass traits in Japanese Black cattle.

Estimation of the number of nucleotide substitutions in the control region of mitochondrial DNA in humans and chimpanzees.
TLDR
A new mathematical method for estimating the number of transitional and transversional substitutions per site, as well as the total number of nucleotide substitutions, suggested that the transition/transversion ratio for the entire control region was approximately 15 and nearly the same for the two species.
Evolution of cytochrome P-450 proteins.
TLDR
Thirty-four cytochrome P-450 sequences from one bacterial and six vertebrate species have been aligned with the aid of a computer alignment algorithm and it is noted that an apparent increase in the rate of cyto Chrome P- 450 evolution is noted between the bird-mammal divergence and the mammalian radiation.

TLDR
The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.
