The paper identifies a GLRX2 mutation causing mitochondrial dysfunction and somersaulting behavior in Darwin's pigeons, showing how domestication can expose deleterious variants.

The paper analyzes the genomes of Asiatic mouflons in Iran to explore their role in sheep domestication and genetic introgression into domestic sheep populations.

The paper constructs a fine-scale recombination map in domestic chickens to study rapid evolutionary changes in recombination rates during domestication.

This study identifies introgression and selection events in goat domestication, linking them to immune and behavioral genes.
