Abstract Background Bovine whole genome linkage disequilibrium maps were constructed for eight breeds of cattle. These data provide fundamental information concerning bovine organization which will allow the design studies to associate genetic variation with economically important traits and also provides background extent long range in Results Linkage was assessed using r 2 among all pairs syntenic markers within cattle from Bos taurus indicus subspecies. included Angus, Charolais, Dutch...
The quality of fat is an important factor in defining the meat. Fat determined by composition fatty acids. Among lipid metabolism-related genes, including acid synthesis several genetic variations have been reported bovine synthase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1), and GH genes. In present study, we evaluated single epistatic effects 5 (4 SNP insertion/deletion) 4 genes (FASN, SCD, SREBP1, GH) on longissimus thoracis muscle carcass...
Pakistan contains numerous domestic goat breeds, but until now there has been no comprehensive study on genetic diversity or a phylogenetic analysis of Pakistani goats. In this study, we analysed the complete mitochondrial DNA D-loop and cytochrome b gene 13 breeds (Capra hircus) one wild goat, Sindh Ibex aegagrus blythi). The analyses sequence divergence (SD) established four distinct mt-lineages termed as A, B C (previously reported) new lineage D. appeared an outgroup estimated times...
Abstract Background Analyses of population structure and breed diversity have provided insight into the origin evolution cattle. Previously, these studies used a low density microsatellite markers, however, with large number single nucleotide polymorphism markers that are now available, it is possible to perform genome wide genetic analyses in In this study, we high-density panel SNP examine among eight cattle breeds sampled from Bos indicus taurus . Results Two thousand six hundred forty...
Fatty acid composition has become an important trait in the beef industry terms of flavor and decreasing circulating concentration LDL cholesterol. In this study, we examined association between polymorphisms six genes, adipocytes-type fatty binding protein (FABP4), liver X receptor alpha (LXRalpha), cytochrome b5 (Cyt b5), long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (ACSL) 1, ACSL4 diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) composition.Sequence comparisons revealed 14 single nucleotide genes. Four them,...
Abstract This article describes complete mitochondrial DNA displacement loop sequences from 32 Japanese Black cattle and the analysis of these data in conjunction with previously published African, European, Indian subjects. The origins North East Asian domesticated are unclear. earliest domestic region were Bos taurus may have been local wild (aurochsen; B. primigenius), or perhaps had an origin migrants early center Near East. In phylogenetic analyses, taurine form a dense tree consisting...
In Japan, Wagyu cattle include four types of Japanese cattle: the Black, Brown, Shorthorn, and Polled breeds. The famous brand name includes not only Black produced in but also animals or even crossbred foreign countries such as Australia USA.
Abstract Sustainable agriculture approaches necessitate a concerted effort from researchers to establish paths that meet global population needs without compromising environmental resources. Goats are unique among ruminants because of their ability adapt some the harshest environments around world. Growth Hormone (GH) gene is major regulator muscle mass growth. Therefore, our study aims analyze whole sequence GH in order identify various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) Damascus and...
The Philippines and Indonesia, located at the crossroads of historical human migrations in Asia-Pacific region, lie southeasternmost part Mainland Southeast Asia. Both countries are recognized as mega-diverse nations, hosting a wide variety species. However, history goat propagation Island Asia remains unclear due to limited molecular studies absence archaeological evidence this region. This study conducted phylogeographic analyses mtDNA hypervariable region 1 SRY 3′UTR sequences goats from...
Japanese Black fattening steers were used to examine relationships between carcass traits and mitochondria displacement loop (D-loop) variations. The D-loop region of cattle was sequenced revealed 26 mitochondrial haplotypes defined by 25 polymorphic sites. classified into five types (type 1 5) using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means. Carcass weight, longissimus muscle area (LMA), rib thickness, subcutaneous fat yield estimate, beef marbling score (BMS) compared among...
Fatty acid composition of beef adipose tissue is one important traits because high proportions monounsaturated fatty are related to favorable flavor and tenderness. In this study, we investigated effects genetic factors such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) on carcass including using two cattle populations. Sire effect was significantly almost all except BMS, suggesting that the trait examined in study highly controlled by factors. The SCD...
The purpose of this study was to assess genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationship and population structure among nine Eurasian cattle populations using 58 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. calculated distribution minor allele frequencies heterozygosities suggested that the diversity Bos indicus lower than taurus populations. Phylogenetic analyses revealed main divergence between populations, subsequently Asian European By principal components analysis, were clearly...
Abstract Fatty acid composition is one of the important traits in beef. The aim this study was to identify candidate genomic regions for fatty by genome‐wide association with 50 K single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) array J apanese B lack cattle. A total 461 individuals and 40 657 SNPs were used study. We applied rapid using mixed model regression GRAMMAR control approaches estimate associations between genotypes composition. In addition, two synthase FASN T1952A stearoyl‐ CoA desaturase...
Complete sequences of mitochondrial (mt) genomes eight Japanese Black cattle were determined to investigate the relationships between mt deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) displacement loop (D-loop) types and other mtDNA regions identify variation in coding region that may influence economic traits. The survey encoding revealed 14 substitutions including six antonymous one 16S ribosomal ribonucleic (rRNA). Three methods polymorphic DNA analyses (polymerase chain reaction [PCR]-restriction fragment...
Fatty acid composition of adipose tissue has been recognized as an important carcass trait because its relationship with eating quality such favorable beef flavor and tenderness. Therefore, we investigated the effects genetic polymorphisms liver X receptor, alpha (LXR), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), synthase (FASN), binding protein 4 (FABP4) on fatty in intramuscular fat Holstein steers. The major allele frequencies were 0.705 SCD, 0.518 FABP4, 0.888 FASN, 0.984 LXR. Genotyping SCD showed...
