In this study, a wide range of in silico investigation Bubalus bubalis (BB) heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and factor-1 (HSF1) has been performed, ranging from sequence evaluation among species to homology modeling along with their docking studies decipher the interacting residues both molecules.Protein sequences BB HSP70 HSF1 were retrieved NCBI database FASTA format. Primary secondary structure prediction computed using Expasy ProtParam server Phyre2 server, respectively. TMHMM was used...

In this study, mitochondrial D-loop sequence data on riverine, swamp and hybrid buffaloes from India have been generated compared with other reported Indian Chinese Bangladeshi buffalo populations. Sequence analysis revealed the presence of 132 haplotypes, a haplotype diversity 0.9611 ± 0.0045 nucleotide 0.04801 0.00126. For first time, existence riverine-swamp hybrids among Chilika population has recorded, having 49 chromosomes, which was also confirmed by sharing between as well...

<title>Abstract</title> This study delves into the genomic foundations of high-altitude adaptation in Indian yaks, with a specific emphasis on X chromosome and its role traits related to production, reproduction, immunity. Utilizing whole-genome resequencing, we identified 319,015 high-quality chromosomal SNPs from 30 unrelated yaks 8 Jinchuan yaks. These were analyzed through various statistical methodologies, including composite likelihood ratio (CLR) statistics, Tajima’s D, iHS,...

The DNA methylation events mark a major epigenetic change in the genome, reflecting non-genetic disease developments and varied phenotypes. water buffalo is dairy production animal with wide agro-climatic distribution India. Breed-wise coat color of varies from ash-gray to jet black. A typical pigmentation pattern found one breeds North India, Nili Ravi, variedly distributed white patches. could potentially reveal factors responsible for patterns. To address this question, isolated skin...

The melanogenesis pathway regulates pigmentation through the synergic action of various genes. We are interested in analyzing genetic variations ASIP which determine eumelanin production dermis layer. In present study, gene was characterized buffalo and 268 genetically unrelated buffaloes belonging to 10 different populations were genotyped for non-synonymous SNP (c.292C>T) identified exon 3 region using Tetra-ARMS-PCR. TT genotype occurred at a higher rate Murrah, followed by Nili Ravi,...

Milk has been regarded as wholesome food since centuries. The major milk proteins are the casein (80%) and whey (10%). One of prominent in cattle i.e. beta casein, is encoded by highly polymorphic genes, leading to formation 12 protein variants. Among them A1 A2 variant most frequent; being primitive type present Bos indicus at higher percentage than taurus. Most indicine breed carrying presence histidine contrast proline makes it susceptible gastrointestinal proteolysis digestion release...

Unlocking the genetic diversity of Cahi-DRB1 gene in Indian goat breeds sheds light on their immune system's resilience. While extensive studies have elucidated MHC cattle and sheep, research goats remains limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate cahi-DRB1 across five India, encompassing a total 233 individual goats. Using PCR sequence-based typing approach, DRB1 fragments (285 bp) were amplified sequenced. The findings revealed notable heterozygosity (mean: 100%), with nucleotide...

<title>Abstract</title> Yak, an economically important bovine species considered as the lifeline of Himalaya. Indeed, this gigantic is neglected because scientific intervention for its conservation well research documentation a long time. The Y chromosome widely recognized role in male traits, characterized by paternal inheritance, high mutation rate, and minimal recombination rate or reverse mutation. So, we investigated Y-chromosome-specific variants four yak populations namely,...
