Article Synopsis
- The rock pigeon has been selectively bred into numerous domestic varieties, showcasing significant phenotypic diversity that intrigues researchers in genetics and evolution.!*
-
- Due to limited historical records about these breeds, researchers conducted a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis using genome-wide data from nearly 200 pigeons across 60 breeds, including feral pigeons for comparison.!*
-
- The study found substantial genetic structure among breeds and uncovered new instances of interbreed mixing, highlighting that genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is a valuable, cost-effective method for studying intricate evolutionary relationships in domestic species.!*
