“…Studies of ancient and historical DNA from domestic animals can shed new light on the process of domestication [ 18 ] as well as on the history of local animal husbandry [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. So far, most studies of historical and ancient DNA of livestock species including cattle targeted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ], which has limited power in characterising the relationships between modern and ancient livestock populations, especially when the history of the populations has been affected by human-driven migrations, admixture, and intensive sex-specific breeding practices [ 75 ]. During the 18th–19th century in Russia, the most widely used breeding praxis in cattle husbandry was the exchange of bulls between landlords and bull import from abroad [ 76 ].…”

“…Similarly, Asian and European sheep tend to carry higher proportions of mitochondrial DNA haplogroups A and B, respectively 17 19 (Supplementary Note 1 ). Recent ancient DNA work suggests that this pattern may have been established in Asia already by the 7th millennium BCE 20 , and by the 2nd millennium BCE 21 , 22 in Europe.…”

“…However, they are too degraded for species identification using morphological approaches (14). Ancient DNA (aDNA) is a powerful tool for identifying bovid remains from archaeological sites in northern China, including domestic cattle (Bos taurus), wild water buffalo (Bubalus mephistopheles), and aurochs (Bos primigenius) (17)(18)(19)(20). Although bovid remains have been frequently identified in many prehistoric sites on the Tibetan Plateau (7,9,12,21), the species-level identification of bovid species on the Tibetan Plateau has not been reported.…”
