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. R...

Genome-wide screening for selection signatures in native and cosmopolitan cattle breeds reared in T ürkiye
This study is the first attempt to assess genome-wide selection signatures in six native Turkish and two cosmopolitan cattle breeds by 211.119 bi-allelic SNPs recovered using the double digest restriction associated DNA sequencing method. The integrated haplotype score (iHS) statistic was utilised to reveal selection signatures within populations, whereas the cross-population extended haplotype homozygosity (XP-EHH) and fixation index (FST ) approaches were preferred to reveal differently fixed genomic regions between native Turkish and cosmopolitan cattle breeds. Selection signatures in 142 genomic regions containing 305 ...

Detection of genomic variations and selection signatures in Wagyu using whole-genome sequencing data
Anim Genet. 2023 Oct 4. doi: 10.1111/age.13364. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWagyu is recognized for producing marbled beef with high nutritional value and flavor. Reportedly, Wagyu has been widely used to improve the meat quality of local breeds around the world. However, studies on the genetic mechanism of meat quality in Wagyu at the whole-genome level are rarely reported. Here, whole-genome sequencing data of 11 Wagyu and 115 other individuals were used to explore the genomic variations and genes under selection pressure in Wagyu. A total of 31 349 non-synonymous variants and 53 102 synonymous variants were identified...

A purebred South American breed showing high effective population size and independent breed ancestry: The Chilean Terrier
Anim Genet. 2023 Oct 1. doi: 10.1111/age.13359. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Chilean Terrier is a known breed in Chile that has not been genetically assessed despite its distinctive color patterns, agility, and hardiness across the diversity of climates encountered within the Chilean landscape. The population structure and its relatedness with other breeds, as well as the actual origin of the breed, remain unknown. We estimated several population parameters using samples from individuals representing the distribution of the Chilean Terrier across the country. By utilizing the Illumina HD canine genotyping array, we co...
