In 2003, the [[International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature]] [[Opinion 2027|resolved a long-standing dispute]] about the naming of those species (or pairs of species) of ''Bos'' that contain both wild and domesticated forms. The commission "conserved the usage of 17 specific names based on wild species, which are pre-dated by or contemporary with those based on domestic forms", confirming ''Bos primigenius'' for the aurochs and ''Bos gaurus'' for the gaur. If domesticated cattle and gayal are considered separate species, they are to be named ''Bos taurus'' and ''Bos frontalis''; however, if they are considered part of the same species as their wild relatives, the common species are to be named ''Bos primigenius'' and ''Bos gaurus''.<ref>{{cite journal|author=International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature |date=2003 |title=Opinion 2027 (Case 3010).

During the 2010s, analysis of the complex genetics of the bovine lineages determined that the genus ''[[Bison]]'' needed to be relegated to a subgenus of ''Bos'' in order to retain monophyly within ''Bos'' since both extant species of ''Bison'' are phylogenetically embedded within ''Bos''.<ref name = WangEtal2018/> The specific relationships in these analyses determined that the two living bison species were each other's closest living relatives, with their closest relatives amongst ''Bos'' being the yaks based on [[nuclear DNA]]. The [[mitochondrial DNA]] for the wisent was found to contradict the nuclear DNA result, and was more closely related to those of cattle, while the mitochondrial DNA of the American bison supported the nuclear DNA result of a close relationship with yaks. The discrepancy between the mitochondrial DNA of the American bison and wisent is suggested to be likely due to [[incomplete lineage sorting]] or genetic [[introgression]] into ''B. bonasus'' from other ''Bos'' species.<ref name="WangEtal2018" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Sinding|first1=Mikkel-Holger S.|last2=Ciucani|first2=Marta M.|last3=Ramos-Madrigal|first3=Jazmín|last4=Carmagnini|first4=Alberto|last5=Rasmussen|first5=Jacob Agerbo|last6=Feng|first6=Shaohong|last7=Chen|first7=Guangji|last8=Vieira|first8=Filipe G.|last9=Mattiangeli|first9=Valeria|last10=Ganjoo|first10=Rajinder K.|last11=Larson|first11=Greger|date=2021-11-19|title=Kouprey (''Bos sauveli'') genomes unveil polytomic origin of wild Asian Bos|journal=[[iScience]]|language=en|volume=24|issue=11|pages=103226|doi=10.1016/j.isci.2021.103226|pmid=34712923|pmc=8531564|bibcode=2021iSci...24j3226S|issn=2589-0042}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last1=Grange|first1=Thierry|last2=Brugal|first2=Jean-Philip|last3=Flori|first3=Laurence|last4=Gautier|first4=Mathieu|last5=Uzunidis|first5=Antigone|last6=Geigl|first6=Eva-Maria|date=September 2018|title=The Evolution and Population Diversity of Bison in Pleistocene and Holocene Eurasia: Sex Matters|journal=[[Diversity (journal)|Diversity]]|language=en|volume=10|issue=3|pages=65|doi=10.3390/d10030065|doi-access=free}}</ref>
