This has guaranteed a place for this species in the important and rapid episode of livestock expansion triggered by Columbus’ arrival in the Americas in the late 1400s. The aims of this study are to provide a comprehensive perspective on genetic diversity in American goat populations and to assess their origins and evolutionary trajectories. This was achieved by combining data from autosomal neutral genetic markers obtained in more than two thousand samples that encompass a wide range of Iberian, African and Creole goat breeds. In general, even though Creole populations differ clearly from each other, they lack a strong geographical pattern of differentiation, such that populations of different admixed ancestry share relatively close locations throughout the large geographical range included in this study. Important Iberian signatures were detected in most Creole populations studied, and many of them, particularly the Cuban Creole, also revealed an important contribution of African breeds. On the other hand, the Brazilian breeds showed a particular genetic structure and were clearly separated from the other Creole populations, with some influence from Cape Verde goats. These results provide a comprehensive characterisation of the present structure of goat genetic diversity, and a dissection of the Iberian and African influences that gave origin to different Creole caprine breeds, disentangling an important part of their evolutionary history. Creole breeds constitute an important reservoir of genetic diversity that justifies the development of appropriate management systems aimed at improving performance without loss of genomic diversity. 000079622 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/INIA/RZ2004-00037-00-00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/INIA/RZ2006-00005-C02-00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/INIA/RZ2007-00005-C02-01$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/INIA/RZ2007-00005-C02-02 000079622 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000079622 590__ $$a2.026$$b2018 000079622 591__ $$aVETERINARY SCIENCES$$b20 / 141 = 0.142$$c2018$$dQ1$$eT1 000079622 591__ $$aAGRICULTURE, DAIRY & ANIMAL SCIENCE$$b9 / 61 = 0.148$$c2018$$dQ1$$eT1 000079622 592__ $$a0.791$$b2018 000079622 593__ $$aAnimal Science and Zoology$$c2018$$dQ1 000079622 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000079622 700__ $$aCortés, O. 000079622 700__ $$aGama, L.T. 000079622 700__ $$aMartínez, A. 000079622 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5740-0185$$aZaragoza, P.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000079622 700__ $$aAmills, M. 000079622 700__ $$aBedotti, D.O. 000079622 700__ $$aBruno de Sousa, C. 000079622 700__ $$aCañon, J. 000079622 700__ $$aDunner, S. 000079622 700__ $$aGinja, C. 000079622 700__ $$aLanari, M.R. 000079622 700__ $$aLandi, V. 000079622 700__ $$aSponenberg, P. 000079622 700__ $$aDelgado, J.V. 000079622 700__ $$aThe, Biogoat, Consortium, A 000079622 7102_ $$11001$$2420$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
