The DNA of aurochs survives in some ancient cattle breeds. Since the early 2000s, scientists in the Netherlands have sought to bring aurochs back to life by interbreeding ancient cattle breeds ...

Researchers determine the genome of all subspecies of the extinct aurochs and show the history of its development into domestic cattle / publication in ‘Nature’ The results of an international ...

The results of an international study describe the genetic development of the aurochs (Bos primigenius), the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, during and after the Ice Age. The central European ...

He is a native English speaker. An extinct species of cattle—the aurochs—that died out some 400 years ago, would be the perfect animal to "de-extinct," says Dr. Conor Rossi from Trinity ...

A genetic analysis of aurochs – the predecessors to modern cattle – led by Prof Dan Bradley at Trinity College Dublin’s (TCD) School of Genetics and Microbiology has revealed that the ...

A new study involving geneticists from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) has deciphered the prehistory of aurochs, the long-extinct animals which gave rise to domestic cattle. Although the animals ...

Aurochs were the focus of some of the most iconic early human art and their domestication gave us cattle. Now scientists have analysed their bones to learn more about them — and the influence of ...

The aurochs roamed in Europe, Asia and Africa for hundreds of thousands of years. Adorned as paintings on many a cave wall, their domestication to create cattle gave us a harnessed source of ...

How? By interbreeding cattle breeds that are genetically and physically closest to the aurochs. Classified as domestic cattle, tauros have no equivalent among other breeds, yet aurochs’ DNA has ...

Huge wild cattle aurochs are to be brought "back from the dead" after 400 years of European extinction - to rewild the Highlands near Loch Ness. The ambitious rewilding project, launched by Trees ...
