Abstract
Background: Our study focuses on Yakutian cattle, a Siberian native breed, examining its inbreeding and diversity through genome-wide analysis of runs of homozygosity (ROHs). Yakutian cattle are adapted to Siberia's harsh sub-arctic conditions, enduring temperatures below -70°C. However, the population genetics studies on this breed are scanty, to document the genetic uniqueness in these cattle.
Results: We analyzed 40 Yakutian cattle with strict quality control for ROH detection yielding 683 homozygous segments, averaging 17 per individual with an average length of 9 Mb. ROH regions were found to be involved in important pathways pertaining to cold adaptation. Autozygosity ranged from 1% to 12% of the genome, with a relatively low average inbreeding coefficient (FROH) of 0.057, as compared to other breeds. Also, the different diversity indicators, namely, principal component analysis, heterozygosity, and effective population size analysis, revealed the prevalence of genetic diversity within the breed.
Conclusion: Our findings on ROH are the first of its kind in Yakutian cattle that support their adaptability to colder environments, as evidenced by low inbreeding and high genetic diversity.
期刊介绍:
During the last decades, ''Cytogenetic and Genome Research'' has been the leading forum for original reports and reviews in human and animal cytogenetics, including molecular, clinical and comparative cytogenetics. In recent years, most of its papers have centered on genome research, including gene cloning and sequencing, gene mapping, gene regulation and expression, cancer genetics, comparative genetics, gene linkage and related areas. The journal also publishes key papers on chromosome aberrations in somatic, meiotic and malignant cells. Its scope has expanded to include studies on invertebrate and plant cytogenetics and genomics. Also featured are the vast majority of the reports of the International Workshops on Human Chromosome Mapping, the reports of international human and animal chromosome nomenclature committees, and proceedings of the American and European cytogenetic conferences and other events. In addition to regular issues, the journal has been publishing since 2002 a series of topical issues on a broad variety of themes from cytogenetic and genome research.
