A Genome Scan for Selection Signatures in Pigs
Identifying signatures of selection can provide a straightforward insight into the mechanism of artificial selection and further uncover the causal genes related to the phenotypic variation. Based on Illumina Porcine60KSNP chip data, four complementary methods, Long-Range Haplotype (LRH), Tajima's D, Cross Population Extend Haplotype Homozygosity Test (XPEHH) and FST, were implemented in this s...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan to detect signatures of recent selection in Australian Merino sheep
Domestication and selection are processes that conserve the pattern of genetic diversities between and within populations. Identification of genomic regions that are targets of selection for phenotypic traits is one of the main aims of research in animal genetics. An approach for identifying divergently selected regions of the genome is to compare FST values among loci to estimate the genetic v...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan for selection signatures in Yorkshire and Landrace pigs based on sequencing data
Pigs have experienced dramatic selection due to domestication, which has led to many different phenotypes when compared to their wild counterparts, especially in the last several decades. Currently, genome-wide scans in both cattle and humans showing positive selection footprints have been investigated. However, few studies have focused on porcine selection footprints, particularly on a genome-...
متن کاملwhole-genome scan of eight iranian native cattle breeds to detect selection signatures.
this study aimed to identify genes that show signatures of selection for mutations in iranian native cattle breeds. the data consisted of genotypes for ~777962 snp markers of 90 animals from eight iranian native cattle breeds distributing over the country. therefore, the aim was to identifying divergently selected regions of the genome. study of population differentiation across the genome usin...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan for signatures of recent selection in Holstein cattle.
The data from the newly available 50 K SNP chip was used for tagging the genome-wide footprints of positive selection in Holstein-Friesian cattle. For this purpose, we employed the recently described Extended Haplotype Homozygosity test, which detects selection by measuring the characteristics of haplotypes within a single population. To assess formally the significance of these results, we com...
