Abstract
In this study, we systematically analyzed the microbial composition of the gastrointestinal tract and its metabolite differences between Niangya yaks and Sibu yaks by non-targeted metabolomics technology combined with 16S rDNA sequencing, aiming at providing theoretical references for yak breed selection, precision breeding, and healthy breeding. The results showed that the abundance of Solibacillus was higher in the gastrointestinal tract of the Sibu yak, while the abundance of Christensenellaceae_R-7_group, Prevotella, Candidatus_Saccharimonas and Lysinibacillus was higher in the Niangya yak. Metabolomics results showed that metabolites such as N-methyl-d-aspartic acid and L-homoserine were up-regulated in the rumen of Niangya yaks, and metabolites such as Val-Ala-lys and 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone were up-regulated in the Sibu yaks. Metabolites such as Proscillaridin_a, 2-cis-4-trans-abscisic acid, and N-acetyl-d-galactosaminitol were up-regulated in the intestines of the Niangya yak group compared to the intestines of the Sibu yak group. Correlation analysis showed that L-homoserine was significantly and positively correlated with Christensenellaceae_R-7_group, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, Prevotella and Solibacillus (P < 0.05). N-methyl-d-aspartic acid was significantly positively correlated with Solibacillus, Christensenellaceae_R-7_group, Candidatus_ Saccharimonas were significantly positively correlated (P < 0.05). Lysinibacillus was significantly positively correlated with Proscillaridin_a, 2-cis-4-trans-abscisic _acid were significantly positively correlated (P < 0.05). These results suggest that different yak breeds may influence host growth performance, nutrient utilization efficiency and health status through their unique microbial-metabolite interaction networks.

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.
