摘要: The world's domestic cats carry patterns of sequence variation in their genome that reflect a history domestication and breed development. A genetic assessment 979 wild progenitors-Felis silvestris (European wildcat), F. s. lybica (Near Eastern ornata (central Asian cafra (southern African bieti (Chinese desert cat)-indicated each group represents distinctive subspecies Felis silvestris. Further analysis revealed were domesticated the Near East, probably coincident with agricultural village development Fertile Crescent. Domestic derive from at least five founders across this region, whose descendants transported world by human assistance.
