Cattle mitogenome variation reveals a post-glacial expansion of haplogroup P and an early incorporation into northeast Asian domestic herds

H. Mannen, T. Yonezawa, et al.

Explore the fascinating journey of haplogroup P in Northeast Asian cattle as revealed through the complete sequencing of Japanese Shorthorn mitogenomes. This research, conducted by Hideyuki Mannen, Takahiro Yonezawa, Kako Murata, Aoi Noda, Fuki Kawaguchi, Shinji Sasazaki, Anna Olivieri, and Alessandro Achilli, uncovers the historical migration of aurochs from Europe to Asia and the significance of haplogroup P1a.

Abstract
This study investigated the origin of haplogroup P in Northeast Asian cattle through complete sequencing of 14 Japanese Shorthorn mitogenomes. Phylogenetic and Bayesian analyses revealed a post-glacial expansion of aurochs carrying haplogroup P from Europe to Asia. All Asian P mtDNAs belong to a single sub-haplogroup (P1a), incorporated into domestic cattle of continental northeastern Asia approximately 3700 years ago. Haplogroup P1a mtDNAs in Japanese Shorthorn cattle likely arrived from Mongolia/Russia around 650 years ago.
