Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Molecular divergence of taurine and indicine lineages occurred approximately 201,000-301,200 years ago.

    “Molecular divergence of taurine and indicine (also referred to as zebu) lineages is estimated to have occurred at approximately 201,000–301,200 years ago [5,7,8,9,10], strongly supporting the two independent domestication events involving distinct aurochs subspecies.”
  • The molecular divergence estimate strongly supports two independent domestication events involving distinct aurochs subspecies.

    “strongly supporting the two independent domestication events involving distinct aurochs subspecies.”
  • Approximately 10,500 years ago, European aurochs in the Fertile Crescent were domesticated into taurine cattle.

    “Approximately 10,500 years ago, in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East, European aurochs (Bos primigenius primigenius) were domesticated into taurine cattle (Bos taurus) [5].”
  • Domestic cattle possess at least two distinct centers of domestication.

    “Domestic cattle possess at least two distinct centers of domestication (Figure 1).”
  • The T lineage primarily includes T, T1, T2, T3 haplogroups, along with T3a or T4 haplogroups derived from T3 haplogroup, while T1 haplogroup differs by only two mutations in the control region from T3 haplogroup.

    “The T lineage primarily includes T, T1, T2, T3 haplogroups, along with T3a or T4 haplogroups derived from T3 haplogroup, while T1 haplogroup differs by only two mutations in the control region from T3 haplogroup [5].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
