Key Points

Differential admixture dynamics highlight the genetic diversity in African cattle breeds, and reveal historical trends.
The analysis indicates significant demographic contractions affecting the genetic structure of these cattle populations over time.
Using genome-wide analysis, the study assessed genetic variations among African cattle to understand historical population dynamics.
Findings suggest that understanding admixture is crucial for conservation efforts and breeding strategies in livestock.
