  • Description: <jats:title>Rabbits softly swept to domestication</jats:title> <jats:p> When people domesticate animals, they select for tameness and tolerance of humans. What else do they look for? To identify the selective pressures that led to rabbit domestication, Carneiro <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> sequenced a domestic rabbit genome and compared it to that of its wild brethren (see the Perspective by Lohmueller). Domestication did not involve a single gene changing, but rather many gene alleles changing in frequency between tame and domestic rabbits, known as a soft selective sweep. Many of these alleles have changes that may affect brain development, supporting the idea that tameness involves changes at multiple loci. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6200" page="1074" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="345" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1253714">1074</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6200" page="1000" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="345" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1258775">1000</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
