Meta-Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA Control Region Diversity to Shed Light on Phylogenetic Relationship and Demographic History of African Sheep (<i>Ovis aries</i>) Breeds

To improve sheep breeding and conservation of genetic resources, the mitochondrial DNA control region (mtDNA CR) of 399 sequences of African indigenous sheep breeds from previously published research articles were meta-analyzed to elucidate their phylogenetic relationship, diversity, and demographic...
