Genome-wide association study using a single-step approach for teat number in Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire pigs in Korea
Anim Genet. 2023 Oct 9. doi: 10.1111/age.13357. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigated the genetic basis of teat number in sows, which is an important factor in their reproductive performance. We collected genotyping data from 20 353 pigs of three breeds (Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire) using the Porcine SNP60K Bead Chip, and analyzed phenotypic data from 240 603 pigs. The heritability values of total teat number were 0.33 ± 0.02, 0.51 ± 0.01 and 0.50 ± 0.01 in Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire pigs, respectively. A genome-wide association study was used to identify significant chromosomal regions associated with teat...

Genotyping-by-sequencing reveals a high number and quality of single nucleotide polymorphisms in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) from the Peruvian Andes
Anim Genet. 2023 Oct 5. doi: 10.1111/age.13367. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGuinea pigs are a major source of animal protein for Peruvian Andean families. Despite the economic and cultural relevance of guinea pigs, their genomic characterization has been scarcely addressed. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) has emerged as an affordable alternative to genotyping of livestock and native animals. Here, we report the use of GBS for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery of traditionally raised guinea pigs from six regions of the Peruvian Andes and one group of breeding animals. The paired-end (2 × 150 bp) sequencing of...

A whole genome scan reveals distinct features of selection in Zhaotong cattle of Yunnan province
Anim Genet. 2023 Oct 5. doi: 10.1111/age.13363. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver the years, indigenous cattle have not only played an essential role in securing primary food sources but have also been utilized for labor by humans, making them invaluable genetic resources. The Zhaotong cattle, a native Chinese breed from the Yunnan province, possess excellent meat quality and resistance to heat and humidity. Here we used whole genome sequencing data of 104 animals to delve into the population structure, genomic diversity and potential positive selection signals in Zhaotong cattle. The findings of this study demonstrate th...

Advances in the discovery of genetic elements underlying longissimus dorsi muscle growth and development in the pig
Anim Genet. 2023 Oct 5. doi: 10.1111/age.13365. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs a major source of protein in human diets, pig meat plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security. Key determinants of meat production refer to the chemical and physical compositions or characteristics of muscle fibers, such as the number, hypertrophy potential, fiber-type conversion and intramuscular fat deposition. However, the growth and formation of muscle fibers comprises a complex process under spatio-temporal regulation, that is, the intermingled and concomitant proliferation, differentiation, migration and fusion of myoblasts.
