whole-genome scan of eight iranian native cattle breeds to detect selection signatures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 using weir and cockerham’s fst test revealed some regions showing evidence of selection. across the 30 bovine chromosomes (bta), seven putative selection signatures were detected. these regions were located on chromosomes 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, 13 and x. finally, study of the reported qtl regions in the orthologous areas of the cattle genome showed that the genomic regions identified in this study overlapped with the reported qtl representing economically important traits such as milk yield, cold tolerance and reproductive traits. result of this research provided important information on existence of genetic diversity and selection signatures in iranian native cattle.

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...

BACKGROUND Scanning of the genome for selection signatures between breeds may play important role in understanding the underlie causes for observable phenotypic variations. The discovery of high density single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide a useful starting point to perform genome-wide scan in pig populations in order to identify loci/candidate genes underlie phenotypic variation in p...

A granddaughter design was used to locate quantitative trait loci determining conformation and functional traits in dairy cattle. In this granddaughter design, consisting of 20 Holstein Friesian grandsires and 833 sons, genotypes were determined for 277 microsatellite markers covering the whole genome. Breeding values for 27 traits, regarding conformation (18), fertility (2), birth (4), workabi...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Analyses of Korean Native and Holstein Cattle Breeds by Massively Parallel Sequencing
A main goal of cattle genomics is to identify DNA differences that account for variations in economically important traits. In this study, we performed whole-genome analyses of three important cattle breeds in Korea--Hanwoo, Jeju Heugu, and Korean Holstein--using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing platform. We achieved 25.5-, 29.6-, and 29.5-fold coverage of the Hanwoo, Jeju Heugu, and Korean H...
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...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Resequencing Analysis of Hanwoo and Yanbian Cattle to Identify Genome-Wide SNPs and Signatures of Selection
Over the last 30 years, Hanwoo has been selectively bred to improve economically important traits. Hanwoo is currently the representative Korean native beef cattle breed, and it is believed that it shared an ancestor with a Chinese breed, Yanbian cattle, until the last century. However, these two breeds have experienced different selection pressures during recent decades. Here, we whole-genome ...
