| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Currently, it is a controversial subject that an origin of chicken is either single origin occurred in the adjacent area of Thailand or multiple origin occurred in the multiple area of South and Southeast Asia. In this study, to elucidate the origin of chicken, we performed molecular phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genome sequences. As a result, it was suggested that the chickens belonged to haplogroup D and F were derived from Myanmar and the chickens belonged to haplogroup E was derived from India. In conclusion, we suggested that the domestication of chickens occurred in at least two areas, namely Myanmar and India.
