Domesticated species are differentiated from the wild species they originate from through the gradual acquisition of specific characteristics throughout the domestication process by the human species, the latter controlling the environment and reproduction of domesticated populations through the selection of breeding individuals. This chapter, dedicated to genomics' contribution to the understanding of domestication scenarios, first looks at the chicken, the species with the most archaeological and genetic information available; and, in particular, the significant development of studies based on the analysis of whole genomes. It then looks at a number of other species domesticated for farming, such as guinea fowl, turkey, quail, the domestic duck and the domestic pigeon. There are currently no genomic studies on the domestication of geese and Muscovy ducks. Access to sequencing data has led to a growing number of studies comparing genome variability between domesticated and wild populations.
