Abstract
Indigenous cattle breeds (Bos indicus) inhabited under diverse agroclimatic conditions may serve as a broad reservoir of genetic pool for identifying genes selected for local adaptation. The present study aimed at deciphering genomic diversity and identifying adaptation signatures of cattle breeds belonging to contrasting agro-climatic conditions: Siri and Ladakhi from cold hilly region; and Kankrej and Hallikar from hot arid and semi-arid regions, respectively. A total of 46 samples were genotyped using 777 K Illumina BovineHD BeadChip. The Principal Component Analysis brought together Hallikar and Kankrej, while Siri and Ladakhi formed a separate cluster. In contrast to the tropical cattle breeds, genetic variation was higher for temperate type. Linkage disequilibrium decay (r2 < 0.2) in hot semi-arid/arid adapted (71–103 kb) and temperate-adapted (218–222 kb) breeds revealed that BovineHD BeadChip can be used in predicting their genomic breeding values. Runs of homozygosity and FST based selection signatures were also identified in these cattle breeds. Novel hypoxia-related genes viz. egl-9 family hypoxia inducible factor, hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha inhibitor and heme oxygenase 1 were detected in temperate adapted breeds, while heat stress (heat shock protein family H (Hsp110) member 1 and BAG cochaperone 2 and immunity (TANK binding kinase 1) related genes were identified in selection sweeps of tropical breeds. Gene ontology analysis identified several enriched terms for the genes in both hot semi-arid/arid and temperate adapted cattle breeds in ROH islands. The relevant adaptation signals found in the present study will help to establish new breeding opportunities with recognition of core genes.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
