| Summary: | The geographic and temporal origins of dogs remain controversial. We generated genetic sequences from 59 ancient dogs and a complete (28x) genome of a late Neolithic dog (dated to ~4800 calendar years before the present) from Ireland. Our analyses revealed a deep split separating modern East Asian and Western Eurasian dogs. Surprisingly, the date of this divergence (~14,000 to 6400 years ago) occurs commensurate with, or several millennia after, the first appearance of dogs in Europe and East Asia. Additional analyses of ancient and modern mitochondrial DNA revealed a sharp discontinuity in haplotype frequencies in Europe. Combined, these results suggest that dogs may have been domesticated independently in Eastern and Western Eurasia from distinct wolf populations. East Eurasian dogs were then possibly transported to Europe with people, where they partially replaced European Paleolithic dogs. ... : Mitochondrial DNA FASTA fileContains all the novel mtDNA sequence published in this studymtDNA.faMitochondrial DNA informationContains long. lat. and archeological site information for the mtDNA sequences in mtDNA.famtDNA_info.xlsxPlink file (bed)Contains genotype for 605 dogs605_dogs.bedPlink file (bim)Contains genotype for 605 dogs605_dogs.bimPlink file (fam)Contains genotype for 605 dogs605_dogs.famTree file (Nexus) based on Identity by StateTree in Figure 1a605_dogs_IBS.nex ... |
