“…1) sequences. In the present study, the haplotypic diversity within the Egyptian chickens was 0.5635±0.0845 which was higher than those of African populations (Ethiopian 0.374, Sudanese 0.413 and Ugandan 0.322: Mwacharo et al, 2011) or (Nigerian 0.421: Adebambo et al, 2010). However, the value is lower than those of other African fowls (Kenyan 0.857: Mwacharo et al, 2011or Zimbabwean 0.730: Muchadeyi et al, 2008 and also lower than some Asian fowls (Vietnamese 0.615 to 0.942: Cuc et al, 2011) or (Laotian 0.854: Kawabe et al, 2014).…”

“…On the other hand, a single haplogroup seems to be of Indian origin was observed in Nigeria native chickens (Adebambo et al, 2010). In addition, Mwacharo et al (2011) analyzed partial mtDNA D-loop sequences in East Africa (Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Uganda) native chickens, and revealed the existence of at least five genetically distinct mtDNA Dloop haplogroups, which were originated from south and southwest China and/or surrounding regions as well as Southeast Asia such as Myanmar and Thailand.…”

This study was aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of Egyptian native chickens by using mtDNA sequence polymorphism. A 546-bp fragment of the mtDNA D-loop region was sequenced for a total of 36 Egyptian native chickens with 14 reference sequences from DNA databank. Of the Egyptian chickens 5 haplotypes were identified. Haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity of the Egyptian native chickens were 0.5635±0.0845 and 0.00123± 0.00108, respectively. The Egyptian native chickens were distributed within one clade, which were closed to the haplotypes from Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Most of Egyptian native chickens were classified into the haplotype E1, which contains 63.9% of individuals followed by E4 (16.6%), E5 (11.1%), E2 (5.5%) and E3 (2.7%), respectively. These findings indicate that the maternal lineages was involved in the origin of domestic chicken in Egypt may have roots in Indian subcontinent and other Southeast Asia. The genetic information from this study will probably pave the way to further studies for evaluation, preservation and improvement of Egyptian native chickens as genetic resources in the future.

Domesticating Animals in Africa: Implications of Genetic and Archaeological Findings

2011

Domestication is an ongoing co-evolutionary process rather than an event or invention. Recent zooarchaeological and animal genetics research has prompted a thorough revision of our perspectives on the history of domestic animals in Africa. Genetic analyses of domestic animal species have revealed that domestic donkeys are descended from African ancestors, opened a debate over the contribution of indigenous aurochs to African domestic cattle, revealed an earlier and possibly exogenous origin of the domestic cat, and reframed our vision of African dogs. Genetic diversity studies and mapping of unique traits in African cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens indicate adaptations to regional environmental challenges and suggest hitherto unknown and complex patterns of interactions both among Africans and with Southwest Asia and other Asian regions on the Indian Ocean. This article argues against the static perspective on domestication as invention and for viewing it as a dynamic, locally based and continuing process.

“…Similarly, Razafindraibe et al (2008) observed two haplougroups in Madagascar village chicken and speculated that one was of Indonesian and the other of African continental origin or an introgression from commercial lines. At the opposite a single haplogroup thought to be of Indian origin was observed in Nigeria village chickens by Adebambo et al (2010), while no information is yet available for the East African region. Survey its genetic diversity and trace the history of domestication Miao et al (2013) investigated a total of 4938 mitochondrial DNA fragments including 2843 previously published and 2095 de novo units from 2044 domestic chickens and 51 Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus).…”

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is has recently lost relevance especially when utilised to study species that are characterised with a history of several migrations. Nonetheless, mtDNA can still represents a useful additional tool in the study of molecular genetic diversity. The reason for the adoption of mtDNA is that it is easy to amplify because it appears in multiple copies in the cells and the mitochondrial gene content is strongly conserved across generations. Thousands of published studies have reached conclusions about population history, patterns of gene flow, genetic structure, and species limits, on the basis of mtDNA sequence variation. MtDNA has been used to study phylo-geographic structure of avian species, and to identify the number of maternal lineages and their geographic origins. Most studies of chicken mtDNA rely on sequences of partial control region but recent researches used the complete mtDNA genome to reconstruct the history of animal domestication. The first genetic study on mtDNA suggests that the Indochinese Red Junglefowl subspecies Gallus gallus gallus is the primary ancestor of the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). Other studies showed that at least three subspecies of Gallus gallus were enrolled in the origin of domestic chicken breeds, and that there may be at least two domestication centres: one in Southeast Asia and one in the Indian subcontinent. The authors suggested nine highly divergent clades (named clade A-I) related to geographical distribution in a wide range of domestic chickens and Red Junglefowls across Eurasian regions. Understanding when chickens were transported out of domestication centres and the directions in which they were moved provides information about prehistoric human migration, trade routes and cultural diffusion. MtDNA has been used to infer regions of domestication and to identify the number of maternal lineages and their geographic origins in macroevolution studies. IntroductionThe chicken has a long history of anthropomorphic usage in Southeast and East Asia, where it has been bred for entertainment and show (Macdonald and Blench, 2000). The origin and domestication of chickens has been of interest to people since at least Roman times (Storey et al., 2012). Based on archaeological and historical evidence the domestication of the fowl is thought to have occurred in multiple, independent centres. Archaeological research has identified centres of chicken domestication in India and China; both within the natural range of wild Junglefowl (Crawford, 1990). Chickens were likely domesticated from wild Red Junglefowl, though some have suggested possible genetic contributions from other Junglefowl species (Eriksson et al., 2008;Nishibori et al., 2005). Darwin (1896) was the first to propose that all domestic fowls descended directly from one common ancestor; the Gallus Bankiva, or wild Junglefowl breed that originated in Eastern and Southern Asia. He came to this conclusion based on comparisons of morphology and progeny produced from crosses between vari...
