Genomic Characterization of Indian Mithun (Bos frontalis), Wild Gaur (Bos gaurus) and Tho-Tho Cattle (Bos indicus) – Population Diversity, Unique Phylogenetic and Chromosomal Status | Chapter 6 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 6

 Mithun (Bos frontalis) or gayal and Indian Bison or untamed gaur (Bos gaurus) are listed among India's precious and endangered bovine variety. The remote neighborhood of mithun in four North Eastern Hill states (Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram), scattered population size, and lack of hereditary diversity status are main constraints to developing an appropriate development and conservation policy for these variety. Tho-tho cattle are inborn to Nagaland, sharing similar terrestrial locations with mithun. Genomic flags (bovine microsatellites) and complete sequence dossier of mitochondrial transmembrane protein coding cytochrome B (CYTB) gene were took advantage of for the assessment of differing population parameters and ancestral diversity of mithun, gaur, and Tho-tho cattle. Molecular cytogenetic reasoning using FISH revealed familial proximity of mithun with gaur, alternatively cattle class. This study represents the first comprehensive genomic and cytogenetic description showing the population construction, genetic diversity, and singular phylogenetic status of exceptional Indian bovines: Mithun, wild gaur, and Tho-tho herd.
