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.
