Very happy to see our work on deleterious mutations in #tomato published in @naturegenet.bsky.social 🧬🌱🍅! We identify deleterious mutations that were enriched during #domestication and apply #CRISPR to repair a mutation in cultivated tomato. #genetics #plantscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A remarkable thing about humans is that we've modified (through #domestication) other organisms on TENS of occasions. If non-bird #dinosaurs were alive, could we domesticate _them_? My thoughts from 2018... (short answer: yes of course) tetzoo.com/blog/2018/8/... #dinosaurs #SpecBio

🐶 Who let the dogs in? And when? Some great new research on early #dog #domestication and genetically fully distinct dogs about 14,000 years ago: 🏺 www.nationalgeographic.co…. by @beebrookshire.bsky.social for @nationalgeographic.bsky.social

Humans have been hanging out with dogs for even longer than we thought

Two new papers have shown that dogs were fully distinct from wolves—and companions with people—more than 14,000 years ago.

Avocados Were Domesticated 7,500 Years Ago According To Fossil Evidence

Ancient peoples of Latin America did us all a huge favor by saving avocados from extinction and gradually making them tastier over thousands of years of domestication.

How and when did domestic cats conquer the world? 🐈 The aDNA study recently published in Science tells a fascinating story about the human-mediated dispersal of our purring furry friends. doi.org/10.1126/scie... #MetagenomicsMonday #SPAAM #aDNA #paleogenomics #cats #zooarcheology #domestication

The domestic cat (Felis catus) descends from the African wildcat Felis lybica lybica. Its global distribution alongside humans testifies to its successful adaptation to anthropogenic environments.…

Pigeon bones from Bronze Age Cyprus show Columba livia sharing a diet with humans by 1400 BCE, pushing the direct evidence for domestication back nearly 1,000 years. New isotope analysis in Antiquity changes the timeline. #Zooarchaeology #BronzeAge #Domestication @antiquity.ac.uk
