Genetic variability at the MC1R is lower in European white Landrace pigs than in Asian black Tibetan pigs.
•
Tibetan pigs possessed shared haplotypes, suggesting a possibility of recent introgression event.
•
We detected positive selection at the MC1R in both Tibetan pigs and Landrace pigs through the dN /dS analysis.
•
Eurasian wild boars may have initially experienced different selection and MC1R alleles diversified in modern domestication.
