Harmful mutation load in the mitochondrial genomes of cattle breeds
Abstract Objective Domestication of wild animals results in a reduction in the effective population size, and this could affect the deleterious mutation load of domesticated breeds. Furthermore, artificial selection will also contribute to the accumulation of deleterious mutations due to the increas...
