Abstract

Goat domestication selection mainly focused on immune and neural genes and involved both standing and introgressed variation.

  • The genetics of domestication are relatively well understood for livestock.

    “However, domestication is a long and difficult process, but the genetics of domestication are relatively well understood for livestock143–148.”

    From Chromosomal-level reference genome assembly of muskox (Ovibos moschatus) from Banks Island in the Canadian Arctic, a resource for conservation genomics (2024) · cites this paper as [147]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says studies had identified candidate genes under selection in goats, and the Discussion reports evidence for the genetic basis of selected goat traits. But the Introduction also says the early evolutionary dynamics of key genes remain unclear; findings about goats do not establish that domestication genetics are relatively well understood across livestock.

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.
