Duck is the second-largest poultry species aside from chicken. The rate of egg production is
a major determinant of the economic income of poultry farmers. Among the reproductive …

Thousands of long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been identified in the
human and mouse genomes, some of which play important roles in fundamental biological …

This study examines the utility of morphology and DNA barcoding in species identification of
freshwater fishes from north‐central Nigeria. We compared molecular data (mitochondrial …

Tibetan pig is native to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and has adapted to the high-altitude
environmental condition such as hypoxia. However, its origin and genetic mechanisms underlying …

Chicken is a major source of protein for the increasing human population and is useful for
research purposes. There are almost 1600 distinct regional breeds of chicken across the globe…

Natural selection in domestic dogs is of great interest in evolutionary biology since dogs
have migrated to every inhabited continent of the world alongside humans, and adapted to …

The Bama Xiang pig (BMX) is a famous early-maturing Chinese indigenous breed with a two-end
black coat. To uncover the genetic basis of the BMX phenotype, we conducted …

Guenons (tribe Cercopithecini) are the most widely distributed nonhuman primate in the
tropical forest belt of Africa and show considerable phenotypic, taxonomic, and ecological …

We sought to determine morphological descriptors of Nigerian indigenous pigs (NIP) and
crossbred pigs (CBP) based on relationships among live weight (LW) and a suite of 18 …

Accurate identification of species is a prerequisite for successful biodiversity management and
further genetic studies. Species identification techniques often require both morphological …
