Here, we present the largest DNA time series for a non-human organism to date, including genome-scale data from 149 ancient animals and 129 ancient genomes (>= 1-fold coverage), 87 of which are new. This extensive dataset allows us to assess the modem legacy of past equestrian civilisations. We find that two extinct horse lineages existed during early domestication, one at the far western (Iberia) and the other at the far eastern range (Siberia) of Eurasia. None of these contributed significantly to modern diversity. We show that the influence of Persian-related horse lineages increased following the Islamic conquests in Europe and Asia. Multiple alleles associated with elite-racing, including at the MSTN "speed gene," only rose in popularity within the last millennium. Finally, the development of modem breeding impacted genetic diversity more dramatically than the previous millennia of human management.}, language = {en} } @article{LibradoGambaGaunitzetal.2017, author = {Librado, Pablo and Gamba, Cristina and Gaunitz, Charleen and Sarkissian, Clio Der and Pruvost, Melanie and Albrechtsen, Anders and Fages, Antoine and Khan, Naveed and Schubert, Mikkel and Jagannathan, Vidhya and Serres-Armero, Aitor and Kuderna, Lukas F.

We examined the genomes of 14 early domestic horses from the Bronze and Iron Ages, dating to between similar to 4.1 and 2.3 thousand years before present. We find early domestication selection patterns supporting the neural crest hypothesis, which provides a unified developmental origin for common domestic traits. Within the past 2.3 thousand years, horses lost genetic diversity and archaic DNA tracts introgressed from a now-extinct lineage. They accumulated deleterious mutations later than expected under the cost-of-domestication hypothesis, probably because of breeding from limited numbers of stallions. We also reveal that Iron Age Scythian steppe nomads implemented breeding strategies involving no detectable inbreeding and selection for coat-color variation and robust forelimbs.}, language = {en} } @article{SchubertJonssonChangetal.2014, author = {Schubert, Mikkel and Jonsson, Hakon and Chang, Dan and Sarkissian, Clio Der and Ermini, Luca and Ginolhac, Aurelien and Albrechtsen, Anders and Dupanloup, Isabelle and Foucal, Adrien and Petersen, Bent Larsen and Fumagalli, Matteo and Raghavan, Maanasa and Seguin-Orlando, Andaine and Korneliussen, Thorfinn S. and Velazquez, Amhed M.
