Abstract

As one of the most important domestic animals in ancient China, the origin, diffusion and matrilineal inheritance of goats have been important issues of archaeological research. In this study, we successfully extracted mitochondrial whole genome sequences from 77 samples of goat remains excavated from 16 sites in China, which date back from the Late Neolithic (4300-3800 BP) to the Ming Dynasty (600-400 BP). The results of ancient DNA analysis indicated that the Chinese goat matrilineages began to expand 7000-6000 years ago. The discovery of sub-lineages A2 and B2 suggests that they may have evolved or derived in China. The expansion of lineage A and the decline in the number of lineage B provide important evidence for the eastward migration of humans from the western part of the Eurasian continent. Furthermore, this study confirms that ancient Chinese goats had contributed genetically to the modern goats of China, and that the Chinese goats are genetically related to goats in South and Southeast Asia. Mitochondrial genome analysis of ancient Chinese goats not only provides an important resource for future analyses and research, but also offers new perspectives for the origin and diffusion of domestic goats.

古老的线粒体基因组揭示了中国山羊的母系遗传特征
作为中国古代最重要的家畜之一,山羊的起源、传播和母系遗传一直是考古学研究的重要课题。本研究成功地从中国16个遗址出土的77件山羊遗骸中提取了线粒体全基因组序列,这些遗骸的年代可追溯到新石器时代晚期(公元前4300-3800年)至明代(公元前600-400年)。古DNA分析结果表明,中国山羊母系在7000-6000年前开始扩展。A2和B2亚系的发现表明,它们可能是在中国进化或衍生的。A系的扩大和B系数量的减少为人类从欧亚大陆西部向东迁移提供了重要证据。此外,该研究还证实了中国古代山羊对中国现代山羊的遗传贡献,以及中国山羊与南亚和东南亚山羊的遗传关系。中国古代山羊的线粒体基因组分析不仅为今后的分析和研究提供了重要资源,而且为家养山羊的起源和扩散提供了新的视角。
