To understand the population
bottlenecks during domestication, researchers made a comparison analysis between vegetable and grain food crops.
The barley genome sequence also enabled the identification of regions of the genome that have been vulnerable to genetic
bottlenecking during domestication, knowledge that helps to guide breeders to optimize genetic diversity in their crop improvement efforts.

Bottlenecks and selective sweeps
during domestication have increased deleterious genetic variation in dogs
The loss of genetic diversity in purebred dogs can be attributed to two major population
bottleneck events: the first occurring
during domestication; and the second arising from breed formation where the repeated use of popular sires, line breeding, breeding for specific phenotypic traits, and promotion of the breed barrier rule, contributed to overall loss in genetic variation [15 - 19].
