Gene Flow in Horses Across the Silk Road
The ancient Silk Road was an exchange network that facilitated the genetic outcome of animals connected to the human migrations within the Silk Road.
One common animal that was traded along the Silk Road, which stretched throughout Eurasia, was the horse
This study will determine the extent to which gene flows and genetic structure of horses in eastern Eurasia This study will determine the extent to which gene flows and genetic structure of horses in eastern Eurasia
The measurement for the molecular variation is conducted using microsatellite analysis. A number of factors were considered in the identification of the genetic narrative, beginning with the isolation of various villages from the human migratory systems overtime.
Second, the historical record of gene flows throughout the Silk Road areas was considered in conjunction with the findings to serve as a guide of the traditional arc.
Conclusion
The conclusions indicate that the gene flow of horses within villages along the Silk Road to this day share a similar heritage that unites them and identifies them as descendants of the Silk Road travelers of centuries past.
