- In 2018, a study identified 429 genes that differed between modern dogs and modern wolves. As the differences in these genes could also be found in ancient dog fossils, these were regarded as being the result of the initial domestication and not from recent breed formation.

Jul 1, 2014 · The general combination of traits in domesticated mammals is an ensemble that we will refer to as the “domestication syndrome” (DS) (adopting a term used for domesticated crop plants, e.g., Brown et al. 2008). We list its core components in Table 1. In this article, we will present a new hypothesis about the nature and origin of the DS ...

Most importantly, however, the precise genetic—and epigenetic—bases of the domestication syndrome require further elucidation. The critical genetic questions concern the specific genes whose mutant forms are involved in creating the DS.

Dec 22, 2020 · It is based on the hypothesis that the domestication syndrome may occur due to genetic (mutations, polymorphisms) and epigenetic changes that occur in early development (e.g., under the influence of hormones) before activation of genes involved in the putative specific networks whose altered expression leads to phenotypic traits of ...

Jan 18, 2024 · The traditionally defined domestication syndrome in crops comprises a set of common phenotypic traits that were selected across different species during the transition from wild to domesticate, facilitating the mutualistic interaction between crops and humans and allowing for growth in human-constructed agricultural niches (Allaby 2014).
Aug 31, 2007 · Understanding of the genetic control of elements of the domestication syndrome is improving as a result of the development of saturated linkage maps for major crops, identification and mapping of quantitative trait loci, cloning and sequencing of genes or parts of genes, and discoveries of widespread orthologies in genes and linkage groups withi...

Because the 'Reproductive Disruption' hypothesis explains domestication syndrome as a result of changed selective regimes, it can encompass multiple genetic or physiological ways that similar traits might emerge in the different domesticated species.
