Determination of Genomic Breed Composition using ADMIXTURE Software

Information from a reference population of animals with accurate breeding values is used to predict the genetic merit test for which such phenotypic information not available. For crosses, these procedures may be proportion genes one breed in crossbred cattle when sets genotypes purebred are available as reference. The genomic composition 6326 HF (as population) performing Gujarat was determined SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism) genotyped by INDUSCHIP array using ADMIXTURE software. 651 indigenous and 120 exotic were genotype determination composition. Unsupervised clustering analysis software carried out infer ancestry ratios 250 14718 pruned SNPs. It showed that all B. indicus assigned their respective breeds. A supervised variants performed proportions keeping K value 9. As several breeds show evidence admixture, screening selection admixture candidate bulls purity can improve programs. average inheritance 55% population. Hence, SNP genotyping gives opportunity determine exact will useful regulation optimum productivity reared farmers.
