“…An anomalous grouping of yak with Bos taurus indicated by the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase genes (Janecek, 1996) is explained by maternal introgression in the lineage of the yak individual (Ward et al, 1999;Verkaar et al, unpublished). Yak clustered also with bison and wisent in most of the AFLP parsimonious trees, but with the neighbour-joining method this depended on the dataset.…”

“…Recent interspecific hybridizations have been well documented for the Bos and Bison species Nijman, 1999;Ward et al, 1999): zebu and ox in several tropical regions; zebu and banteng in Indonesia; taurine cattle and yak in China, Mongolia and Siberia, etc. Ox-zebu hybrids are completely fertile, while male progeny of other hybridizations are sterile.…”

Phylogeny of bovine species based on AFLP fingerprinting

et al. 2002

The Bovini species comprise both domestic and wild cattle species. Published phylogenies of this tribe based on mitochondrial DNA contain anomalies, while nuclear sequences show only low variation. We have used amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting in order to detect variation in loci distributed over the nuclear genome. Computer-assisted scoring of electrophoretic fingerprinting patterns yielded 361 markers, which provided sufficient redundancy to suppress stochastic effects of intraspecies polymorphisms and length homoplasies (comigration of nonhomologous fragments). Tree reconstructions reveal three clusters: African buffalo with water buffalo, ox with zebu, and

“…Several DNA markers are now available to analyse the genetic background of hybrid Bovini. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers reveal introgression via the maternal lineage (Loftus et al, 1994a;Ward et al, 1999;Verkaar et al, 2003). The species origin of the nuclear genome can be inferred from species-specific microsatellite alleles (Frisch et al, 1997;MacHugh et al, 1997), AFLP patterns (Vos et al, 1995;Savelkoul et al, 1999;Buntjer et al, 2002) or mutations in satellite DNA.…”

Hybridization of banteng (Bos javanicus) and zebu (Bos indicus) revealed by mitochondrial DNA, satellite DNA, AFLP and microsatellites

et al. 2003

Hybridization between wild and domestic bovine species occurs worldwide either spontaneously or by organized crossing. We have analysed hybridization of banteng (Bos javanicus) and zebu (Bos indicus) in south-east Asian cattle using mitochondrial DNA (PCR-RFLP and sequencing), AFLP, satellite fragment length polymorphisms (SFLP or PCR-RFLP of satellite DNA) and microsatellite genotyping. The Indonesian Madura zebu breed is reputed to be of hybrid zebu-banteng origin, but this has never been documented and Bali cattle are considered to be a domesticated form of banteng. The banteng mitochondrial type was found in all animals sampled on the isle of Bali, Indonesia, but only in 35% of the animals from a Malaysian Bali-cattle population.The Madura animals also carried mitochondrial DNA of either zebu and banteng origin. In both populations, zebu introgression was confirmed by AFLP and SFLP. Microsatellite analysis of the Malaysian Bali population revealed for 12 out of 15 loci screened, Bali-cattle-specific alleles, several of which were also found in wild banteng animals. The tools we have described are suitable for the detection of species in introgression studies, which are essential for the genetic description of local breeds and the preservation of their economic and cultural value.

“…Speciation of the Bos and Bison species is incomplete and hybridization of these species occurs worldwide (Felius, 1985;Bongso et al, 1988;Lenstra and Bradley, 1999;Nijman et al, 1999;Ward et al, 1999;Kikkawa et al, 2003). Female progeny as well as the male taurine-zebu, gaur-gayal and bison-wisent hybrids are fertile, while fertility of other male hybrid offspring can be restored by repeated backcrossings.…”

“…The SouthEast Asian Selembu dairy and beef cattle result from gayal-zebu crossings (Felius, 1985). Taurine mitochondria have been found in wild North American bison populations (Ward et al, 1999), while the beefalo may be regarded as a domestic hybrid breed of bison and taurine cattle.…”

Paternally inherited markers in bovine hybrid populations

et al. 2003

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The genetic integrity of crossfertile bovine-or cattle-like species may be endangered by species hybridization. Previously, amplified fragment length polymorphism, satellite fragment length polymorphism and microsatellite assays have been used to analyze the species composition of nuclear DNA in taurine cattle, zebu, banteng and bison populations, while mitochondrial DNA reveals the origin of the maternal lineages. Here, we describe species-specific markers of the paternally transmitted Y-chromosome for the direct detection of male-mediated introgression. Convenient PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and competitive PCR assays are shown to differentiate the Y-chromosomes of taurine cattle, American bison and European bison, and to detect the banteng origin of Indonesian Madura and Bali cattle bulls.
