 | | Interestingly one of these haplogroups, which represents half of the Lusitano maternal lines, is characteristic of horses from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, supporting the idea that this area may have been a center of domestication for equines (Lopes et al 2005). |
 | | Here, we present new mitochondrial D-loop sequences from the Spanish breeds: Asturcon, Burguete, Jaca Navarra, Losino Mallorquina, Marismeno, Menorquina and Pottoka. |
 | | The phylogenetic analysis of these data with other mitochondrial D-loop available in GenBank will help understanding the origin of the Iberian horse breed. |
