Pig domestication and human-mediated dispersal in western Eurasia revealed through ancient DNA and geometric morphometrics (2013)
Journal Article
Ottoni, C., Girdland Flink, L., Evin, A., Geörgi, C., De Cupere, E., Van Neer, W., …Larson, G. (2013). Pig domestication and human-mediated dispersal in western Eurasia revealed through ancient DNA and geometric morphometrics. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 30(4), 824-832. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/mss261Zooarcheological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated in Southwest Asia ∼8,500 BC. They then spread across the Middle and Near East and westward into Europe alongside early agriculturalists. European pigs were either domesticated independent...

Rethinking dog domestication by integrating genetics, archeology, and biogeography (2012)
Journal Article
Larson, G., Karlsson, E. K., Perri, A., Webster, M. T., Ho, S. Y., Peters, J., …Lindblad-Toh, K. (2012). Rethinking dog domestication by integrating genetics, archeology, and biogeography. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 109(28), 8878-8883. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1203005109The dog was the first domesticated animal but it remains uncertain when the domestication process began and whether it occurred just once or multiple times across the Northern Hemisphere. To ascertain the value of modern genetic data to elucidate the... Read More about Rethinking dog domestication by integrating genetics, archeology, and biogeography.

Identification of the Yellow Skin Gene Reveals a Hybrid Origin of the Domestic Chicken (2008)
Journal Article
Eriksson, J., Larson, G., Gunnarsson, U., Bed'hom, B., Tixier-Boichard, M., Strömstedt, L., …Andersson, L. (2008). Identification of the Yellow Skin Gene Reveals a Hybrid Origin of the Domestic Chicken. PLoS Genetics, 4(2), Article e1000010. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1000010Yellow skin is an abundant phenotype among domestic chickens and is caused by a recessive allele (W*Y) that allows deposition of yellow carotenoids in the skin. Here we show that yellow skin is caused by one or more cis-acting and tissue-specific reg... Read More about Identification of the Yellow Skin Gene Reveals a Hybrid Origin of the Domestic Chicken.
