Article Synopsis
- The research focused on analyzing the maternal genetic background of two Hungarian sheep breeds, Tsigai and Cikta, to explore their historical significance and genetic relationships.
- The study utilized mitochondrial DNA sequencing to compare the two breeds, revealing that over 80% of samples belonged to a common haplogroup B, suggesting a shared ancestry from Asia Minor.
- Despite the common origin, genetic differentiation was observed between the breeds, indicating distinct maternal genetic backgrounds influenced by their different histories.
The consideration of the descendance is indispensable in the preservation of endangered animal breeds. The authors compared mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequence in three descendant breeds of the extinct Zaupel sheep, firstly. Their investigation was carried out in order to prove the common origin of Waldschaf (Austria), Bovec sheep (Slovenia) and Cikta (Hungary).
