High diversity, inbreeding and a dynamic Pleistocene demographic history revealed by African buffalo genomes

High diversity, inbreeding and a dynamic Pleistocene demographic history revealed by African buffalo genomes

Abstract Genomes retain records of demographic changes and evolutionary forces that shape species and populations. Remnant populations of African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in South Africa, with varied histories, provide an opportunity to investigate signatures left in their genomes by past events, b...
