Understanding the genetic characteristics of indigenous goat breeds is crucial for their conservation and breeding efforts. Hainan black goats, as a native breed south China's tropical island province Hainan, possess distinctive traits such hair, moderate growth rate, good meat quality, small body size. However, they exhibit exceptional resilience to rough feeding conditions, high-quality meat, show remarkable resistance stress heat. In this study, we resequenced whole genome goats study economic basis these leveraged whole-genome sequencing data from 33 analyze single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) density, Runs homozygosity (ROH), Integrated Haplotype Score (iHS), effective population size (Ne), Nucleotide diversity Analysis (Pi) selection characteristics. Our findings revealed that harbor substantial degree variation, with total 23 608 983 polymorphisms (SNPs) identified. ROHs identified 53 710 segments, predominantly composed short fragments, inbreeding events mainly occurring in ancient ancestors, estimates based on ROH typically values ranging 0.107 0.186. This primarily attributed significant declines over recent generations. Moreover, 921 candidate genes within intersection region iHS.

Genetic isolation of breeds may result in a significant loss diversity and have consequences on health performance. In this study, we examined the effect geographic caprine genetic patterns by genotyping 480 individuals from 25 European African with Goat SNP50 BeadChip comparing homozygosity insular nearby continental breeds.Among analysed, number total length ROH varied considerably depending breeds, could cover substantial fraction genome (up to 1.6 Gb Icelandic goats). When compared their counterparts, goats Iceland, Madagascar, La Palma Ireland (Bilberry Arran) displayed increase coverage, FROH values (P value < 0.05). Goats Mediterranean islands represent more complex case because certain populations significantly increased level (e.g. Girgentana) others did not Corse Sarda). Correlations for goat distance between nearest locations revealed an extremely long distances homozygosity.These results indicate that effects insularization are variable. raised Palma, show high levels homozygosity, whereas those bred display similar found populations. These is modulated multiple factors such as distribution, population size, demographic history, trading breed management.

A near complete genome for goat genetic and genomic research

Genetics Selection Evolution, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 53(1)

Published: Sept. 10, 2021

Abstract Background Goat, one of the first domesticated livestock, is a worldwide important species both culturally and economically. The current goat reference genome, known as ARS1, reported nonhuman genome assembly using 69× PacBio sequencing. However, ARS1 suffers from incomplete X chromosome highly fragmented Y scaffolds. Results Here, we present very high-quality de novo assembly, Saanen_v1, male Saanen dairy goat, with scaffold based on 117× long-read sequencing 118× Hi-C data. Saanen_v1 displays high level completeness thanks to presence centromeric telomeric repeats at proximal distal ends two-thirds autosomes, much reduced number gaps (169 vs. 773). accuracy are also evidenced by more assembled sequences chromosomes (2.63 Gb for 2.58 ARS1), slightly increased mapping ratio transcriptomic data, genes anchored chromosomes. eight putative large errors (1 ~ 7 Mb each) found in were amended, time, substitution rate this ruminant was estimated. Furthermore, sequence improvement compared enables us assign likely correct positions 4.4% single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) probes widely used GoatSNP50 chip. Conclusions updated including sex (X Y) autosomes high-resolution quality will serve valuable resource genetic research applications.

Since their domestication 10,500 years ago, goat populations with distinctive genetic backgrounds have adapted to a broad variety of environments and breeding conditions. The VarGoats project is an international 1000-genome resequencing program designed understand the consequences on diversity domestic goats elucidate how speciation hybridization modeled genomes set species representative genus Capra.A dataset comprising 652 sequenced 507 public sequences, including 35 animals representing eight wild species, has been collected worldwide. We identified 74,274,427 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 13,607,850 insertion-deletions (InDels) by aligning these sequences latest version reference genome (ARS1). A Neighbor-joining tree based Reynolds distances showed that from Africa, Asia Europe tend group into independent clusters. Because breeds Oceania Caribbean (Creole) all derive imported animals, they are distributed along according ancestral geographic origin.We report unprecedented effort characterize genome-wide goats. This large range individuals represents unique opportunity ascertain demographic selection processes associated post-domestication history shaped this species. Data generated for will also be extremely useful identify deleterious mutations causal effects complex traits, thus contribute new knowledge could used in genomic prediction association studies.
