The extraordinary journey of donkeys around the world finally solved.

A paper released today in Science, with scientists from Genoscope and GeT-PlaGe platforms reveals that donkeys spread like a wildfire out of Africa around 4,500 years ago, reaching Europe and Asia within only a few centuries. The data were generated thanks to funding from France Génomique through two project calls (BUCEPHALE and MARENGO).
