The SYNBREED chicken diversity panel: a global resource to assess chicken diversity at high genomic resolution
Since domestication, chickens did not only disperse into the different parts of the world but they have also undergone significant genomic changes in this process. Many breeds, strains or lines have been forme...

Addition of the microchromosome GGA25 to the chicken genome sequence assembly through radiation hybrid and genetic mapping
The publication of the first draft chicken sequence assembly became available in 2004 and was updated in 2006. However, this does not constitute a definitive and complete sequence of the chicken genome, since ...

Trypanotolerance in N’Dama x Boran crosses under natural trypanosome challenge: effect of test-year environment, gender, and breed composition
Trypanosomosis, a protozoal disease affecting livestock, transmitted by Glossina (tsetse) flies is a major constraint to agricultural production in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is accepted that utilization of the nativ...

Expression of trypanotolerance in N’Dama x Boran crosses under field challenge in relation to N’Dama genome content
Animal trypanosomosis in sub-Saharan Africa is a major obstacle to livestock based agriculture. Control relies on drugs with increasing incidence of multiple-drug resistance. A previous mapping experiment in a...

The maternal origin of indigenous domestic chicken from the Middle East, the north and the horn of Africa
Indigenous domestic chicken represents a major source of protein for agricultural communities around the world. In the Middle East and Africa, they are adapted to hot dry and semi-dry areas, in contrast to the...

Mitonuclear incompatibility as a hidden driver behind the genome ancestry of African admixed cattle
Africa is an important watershed in the genetic history of domestic cattle, as two lineages of modern cattle, Bos taurus and B. indicus, form distinct admixed cattle populations. Despite the predominant B. indicu...

The wild species genome ancestry of domestic chickens
Hybridisation and introgression play key roles in the evolutionary history of animal species. They are commonly observed within several orders in wild birds. The domestic chicken Gallus gallus domesticus is the m...

Correction to: Genome-wide SNP data unveils the globalization of domesticated pigs
An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via the original article.

Genome-wide association studies of immune, disease and production traits in indigenous chicken ecotypes
The majority of chickens in sub-Saharan Africa are indigenous ecotypes, well adapted to the local environment and raised in scavenging production systems. Although they are generally resilient to disease chall...

Diversity of endogenous avian leukosis virus subgroup E (ALVE) insertions in indigenous chickens
Avian leukosis virus subgroup E (ALVE) insertions are endogenous retroviruses (ERV) that are restricted to the domestic chicken and its wild progenitor. In commercial chickens, ALVE are known to have a detrime...

Mapping restricted introgression across the genomes of admixed indigenous African cattle breeds
The genomes of indigenous African cattle are composed of components with Middle Eastern (taurine) and South Asian (indicine) origins, providing a valuable model to study hybridization and to identify genetic b...

Comparison of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype diversity on macro- and microchromosomes in chicken
The chicken (Gallus gallus), like most avian species, has a very distinct karyotype consisting of many micro- and a few macrochromosomes. While it is known that recombination frequencies are much higher for micro...

Design and descriptive epidemiology of the Infectious Diseases of East African Livestock (IDEAL) project, a longitudinal calf cohort study in western Kenya
There is a widely recognised lack of baseline epidemiological data on the dynamics and impacts of infectious cattle diseases in east Africa. The Infectious Diseases of East African Livestock (IDEAL) project is...

Prevalence and molecular characterisation of Eimeriaspecies in Ethiopian village chickens
Coccidiosis, caused by species of the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria, is a major disease of chickens. Eimeria species are present world-wide, and are ubiquitous under intensive farming methods. However, prevalence...

Mortality in East African shorthorn zebu cattle under one year: predictors of infectious-disease mortality
Infectious livestock diseases remain a major threat to attaining food security and are a source of economic and livelihood losses for people dependent on livestock for their livelihood. Knowledge of the vital ...

Genetic susceptibility to infectious disease in East African Shorthorn Zebu: a genome-wide analysis of the effect of heterozygosity and exotic introgression
Positive multi-locus heterozygosity-fitness correlations have been observed in a number of natural populations. They have been explained by the correlation between heterozygosity and inbreeding, and the negati...

Evidence of balanced diversity at the chicken interleukin 4 receptor alpha chain locus
The comparative analysis of genome sequences emerging for several avian species with the fully sequenced chicken genome enables the genome-wide investigation of selective processes in functionally important ch...
