Ancient Mitogenomes Provide New Insights into the Origin and Early Introduction of Chinese Domestic Donkeys

Both molecular data and archaeological evidence strongly support an African origin for the domestic donkey. Recent genetic studies further suggest that there were two distinct maternal lineages involved in its initial domestication. However, the exact introduction time and the dispersal process of d...
