Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from 686 wild and domestic pig specimens place the origin of wild boar in island Southeast Asia (ISEA), where they dispersed across Eurasia. Previous morphological and genetic evidence suggested pig domestication took place in a limited number of locations (principally the Near East and Far East). In contrast, new genetic data reveal multiple centers of domestication across Eurasia and that European, rather than Near Eastern, wild boar are the principal… Expand

Mitochondrial lineages reveal intense gene flow between Iberian wild boars and South Iberian pig breeds.
TLDR
A fragment of the mitochondrial DNA control region from a large sample of WB and local pig breeds was co-analysed with published sequences from other European populations and revealed a high frequency of a sub-cluster of the European haplogroup E1 in Iberian samples. Expand
Insular East Asia pig dispersal and vicariance inferred from Asian wild boar genetic evidence.
TLDR
A comprehensive phylogenetic study of the sympatric Formosan wild boar and the Lanyu pig was conducted, indicating potential in situ domestication occurring on Taiwan and suggesting human-mediated pig dispersal routes in the region. Expand
Mitochondrial DNA diversity in wild boar from the Primorsky Krai Region (East Russia).
TLDR
The data suggest that the Primorsky mtDNA signature is absent from domestic pigs, and this is a rather closed population of wild boars. Expand
Population phylogenomic analysis of mitochondrial DNA in wild boars and domestic pigs revealed multiple domestication events in East Asia
TLDR
It is shown that pig domestication in East Asia mainly occurred in the Mekong region and the middle and downstream regions of the Yangtze River. Expand
Population phylogenomic analysis and origin of mitochondrial DNA in Chinese domestic pig

TLDR
Haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity in Yushan black pig populations were significantly higher than other populations (p < 0.01), consistent with recent population expansion. Expand
Genetic diversity of wild boar populations and domestic pig breeds (Sus scrofa) in South-western Europe
TLDR
The results suggest the existence of glacial refugia for Sus scrofa in the Iberian Peninsula during the Last Glacial Maximum, as well as a significant genetic difference among and within populations. Expand
Ancient DNA and Population Turnover in Southern Levantine Pigs- Signature of the Sea Peoples Migration?
TLDR
Genetic sequences from ancient and modern pigs from Israel suggest that European pigs were brought to the region by the Sea Peoples who migrated to the Levant at that time, and interpretations of phylogeography based on modern DNA alone should be taken with caution. Expand
Mitochondrial diversity of native pigs in the mainland South and South‐east Asian countries and its relationships between local wild boars
TLDR
The results suggest an existence of human-mediated dispersal of domestic pigs from north to the south during the historical expansion of Sino-Tibetan and Tai peoples and the existence of yet another independent domestication. Expand
Genetic diversity in the European wild boar Sus scrofa: phylogeography, population structure and wild x domestic hybridization
TLDR
An up-to-date review of published data on the past and recent history of the European wild boar, its genetic diversity and the spatial distribution of genetic variation throughout the continent is presented. Expand
Genetic evidence for introgression between domestic pigs and wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Belgium and Luxembourg: a comparative approach with multiple marker systems
TLDR
The results emphasize the need (if working with classical markers) to use different systems to obtain an understanding as to whether hybridization between wild and domestic relatives might have affected the genetic make-up of a local population. Expand

The limited ranges of the wild progenitors of many of the primary European domestic species point to their origins further east in Anatolia or the fertile crescent. The wild ox (Bos primigenius),… Expand
Genetic Evidence for an East Asian Origin of Domestic Dogs
TLDR
A larger genetic variation in East Asia than in other regions and the pattern of phylogeographic variation suggest an East Asian origin for the domestic dog, ∼15,000 years ago. Expand
A Phylogenetic Study of the Origin of the Domestic Pig Estimated from the Near-Complete mtDNA Genome
TLDR
There is compelling evidence that domestication of pigs must have occurred from both an Asian and a European subspecies of the wild boar, and the coexistence of such divergent mtDNA haplotypes for 100+ generations is expected to lead to the presence of recombinant haplotypes if paternal transmission and recombination occur at a low frequency.

Mitochondrial DNA and the origins of the domestic horse
TLDR
The extensive genetic diversity of these 77 ancestral mares leads us to conclude that several distinct horse populations were involved in the domestication of the horse. Expand

TLDR
This study presents mtDNA phylogenies based on ≈240 base pairs of the d-loop from both archaeological and modern samples collected from Island Southeast Asia and the Pacific and identifies three major haplogroups, two of which occur in the Pacific. Expand

Median-joining networks for inferring intraspecific phylogenies.
TLDR
A method for constructing networks from recombination-free population data that combines features of Kruskal's algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees by favoring short connections, and Farris's maximum-parsimony (MP) heuristic algorithm, which sequentially adds new vertices called "median vectors", except that the MJ method does not resolve ties.
