📊 Insights into early goat domestication:
Analyzing 36 previously published ancient goat genomes, we observed that runs-of-homozygosity (ROH) increased with distance from the Zagros Mountains during the Neolithic, suggesting effects from the initial dispersal of managed herds.

By imputing ancient downsampled genomes utilizing the VarGoats dataset (www.goatgenome.org/vargoats.html), we achieved high concordance at 0.5× coverage for common variants.
