Genome-Wide Specific Selection in Three Domestic Sheep Breeds
BACKGROUND Commercial sheep raised for mutton grow faster than traditional Chinese sheep breeds. Here, we aimed to evaluate genetic selection among three different types of sheep breed: two well-known commercial mutton breeds and one indigenous Chinese breed. RESULTS We first combined locus-specific branch lengths and di statistical methods to detect candidate regions targeted by selection in...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan to detect signatures of recent selection in Australian Merino sheep
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...
متن کاملA Genome Wide Survey of SNP Variation Reveals the Genetic Structure of Sheep Breeds
The genetic structure of sheep reflects their domestication and subsequent formation into discrete breeds. Understanding genetic structure is essential for achieving genetic improvement through genome-wide association studies, genomic selection and the dissection of quantitative traits. After identifying the first genome-wide set of SNP for sheep, we report on levels of genetic variability both...
متن کاملgenome-wide survey of signature of positive selection in khuzestani and mazandrani buffalo breeds
identification of selection targeted genomic regions is one of the most challenging areas of research in animal genetics, particularly in livestock. we carried out a genome-wide scan for signatures of positive selection to identify genomic regions that had been under selection in iranian khuzestani and mazandrani buffalo breeds. a total of 148 water buffalo from khuzestani (n=121) and mazandran...
متن کاملBreed effect on serum lysozyme activity in indigenous breeds of Sheep
Serum lysozyme is widely known for its immuno-protective action. The level is an index of macrophage function and this reflects the status of Reticulo-endothelial (RE) system in the body. It is a ubiquitous bacteriolytic enzyme present in the body fluids and tissues. It acts as an important antimicrobial component in the serum and body fluids. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to dete...
