Signatures of Admixture and Genetic Uniqueness in the Autochthonous Greek Black Pig Breed Deduced from Gene Polymorphisms Affecting Domestication-Derived Traits by Anisa Ribani, Valeria Taurisano, Despoina Karatosidi, Giuseppina Schiavo, Samuele Bovo, Francesca Bertolini, Luca Fontanesi

“…None of the investigated gene markers were fixed for one allele, suggesting that, in the past, this breed experienced introgression from wild boars and admixture from cosmopolitan pig breeds, enriching the breed genetic pool that should be further investigated to design appropriate conservation genetic strategies. We identified a new <i>MC1R</i> allele, containing two missense mutations already reported in two other independent alleles, but here present in the same haplotype. …”
