Pigs were domesticated independently in Eastern and Western Eurasia early during the agricultural revolution, have since been transported traded across globe. Here, we present a worldwide survey on 60K genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data for 2093 pigs, including 1839 domestic pigs representing 122 local commercial breeds, 215 wild boars, 39 out-group suids, from Asia, Europe, America, Oceania Africa. The aim of this study was to infer global patterns pig domestication...
Domestication and centuries of selective breeding have changed genomes sheep breeds to respond environmental challenges human needs. The local breeds, therefore, are valuable sources genomic variants be used understand mechanisms response adaptation artificial selection. As a step toward this we performed high-density genotyping comprehensive scans for signatures selection in the from 15 reared across Russia.Results demonstrated that Russian contain multiple regions under putative More than...
Avian eggs are products of consumer demand, with modern methodologies for their morphometric analysis used improving quality, productivity and marketability. Such studies open up numerous prospects the introduction artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning (DL). We first consider state art DL in poultry industry, e.g., image recognition applications detection egg cracks, content freshness. comment on how algorithms need to be properly trained ask what information can gleaned from shape....
Russia has a diverse variety of native and locally developed sheep breeds with coarse, fine, semi-fine wool, which inhabit different climate zones landscapes that range from hot deserts to harsh northern areas. To date, no genome-wide information been used investigate the history genetic characteristics extant local Russian populations. infer population structure diversity sheep, 25 were genotyped OvineSNP50 BeadChip. Furthermore, evaluate admixture contributions foreign in set 58 worldwide...
Abstract How animals, particularly livestock, adapt to various climates and environments over short evolutionary time is of fundamental biological interest. Further, understanding the genetic mechanisms adaptation in indigenous livestock populations important for designing appropriate breeding programs cope with impacts changing climate. Here, we conducted a comprehensive genomic analysis diversity, interspecies introgression, climate-mediated selective signatures global sample sheep their...
Abstract Native cattle breeds represent an important cultural heritage. They are a reservoir of genetic variation useful for properly responding to agriculture needs in the light ongoing climate changes. Evolutionary processes that occur response extreme environmental conditions could also be better understood using adapted local populations. Herein, different evolutionary histories world northernmost native from Russia were investigated. highlighted Kholmogory as typical taurine cattle,...
To enhance and extend the knowledge about global historical phylogenetic relationships between Merino Merino-derived breeds, 19 populations were genotyped with OvineSNP50 BeadChip specifically for this study, while an additional 23 from publicly available genotypes retrieved. Three complementary statistical tests, Rsb (extended haplotype homozygosity between-populations), XP-EHH (cross-population extended homozygosity), runs of (ROH) islands applied to identify genomic variants potential...
LoF (loss-of-function) mutations causing hereditary abnormalities and embryonic mortality are one of the reasons for a decline in fertility cows. Currently, more than fifteen known Holsteins. In our work, we studied frequency FANCI, APAF1, SMC2, GART, APOB genes that associated with haplotypes HH0, HH1, HH3, HH4, HCD Russian Holstein cattle population. We analyzed estimated breeding values (EBVs) daughters' milk production reproduction traits sires carrying compared to non-carrier using BLUE...
It is generally accepted that domestication of pigs took place in multiple locations across Eurasia; the breeds originated Europe and Asia have been well studied. However, genetic structure pig from Russia, Belorussia, Kazakhstan Ukraine, which represent large geographical areas diverse climatic zones Eurasia, remains largely unknown. This study provides first genomic survey 170 representing 13 Ukraine; 288 six Chinese seven European were also included for comparison. Our findings show novel...
The origin of native and locally developed Russian cattle breeds is linked to the historical, social, cultural, climatic features diverse geographical regions Russia. In present study, we investigated population structure nine their relations from around world elucidate origin. Genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Bestuzhev (n = 26), Black-and-White 21), Kalmyk 14), Kholmogor 25), Kostromsky 20), Red Gorbatov 23), Suksun Yakut Yaroslavl 21) was done using Bovine SNP50...
The contribution of domestic cattle in human societies is enormous, making cattle, along with other essential benefits, the economically most important animal world today. To expand existing knowledge on domestication and mitogenome diversity, we performed a comprehensive complete analysis species (802 sequences, 114 breeds). A large sample was collected South-east Europe, an agricultural gateway to Europe during Neolithization region rich biodiversity. We found 1725 polymorphic sites (810...
This study is first to perform a genome-wide association (GWAS) investigate the milk quality traits in Karachai goats. The objective of was identify candidate genes associated with composition based on identification and subsequent analysis all possible SNPs, both (high-confidence) suggestive (subthreshold significance). To estimate components, 22 were determined, including several types fatty acids. DNA extracted from ear tissue or blood samples. A total 167 goats genotyped using an...
Occupied between ~10,300 and 9300 years ago, the Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Aşıklı Höyük in Central Anatolia went through early phases sheep domestication. Analysis 629 mitochondrial genomes from this numerous sites Anatolia, southwest Asia, Europe, Africa produced a phylogenetic tree with excessive coalescences (nodes) around Neolithic, potential signature domestication bottleneck. This is consistent archeological evidence management at which transitioned residential stabling to open...
Sheep are a main livestock species of Kyrgyzstan, Central Asian country with predominating mountain terrain. The current gene pool local sheep resources has been forming under diverse climate conditions from the era trading caravans Great Silk Road, through Soviet period large-scale improvements, which was followed by deep crisis at end 20th century, up to now. However, not much is known about genetic background and variability populations. Therefore, our aims were provide characterization...
Native cattle breeds can carry specific signatures of selection reflecting their adaptation to the local environmental conditions and response breeding strategy used. In this study, we comprehensively analysed high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes characterise population structure detect in Russian native Yaroslavl Kholmogor dairy breeds, which have been little influenced by introgression with transboundary breeds. Fifty-six samples pedigree-recorded purebred animals,...
The objective of this study was to identify the SNPs and candidate genes related body weight seven conformation traits at age 8 months in Russian aboriginal Karachai goats (n = 269) by conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS), using genotypes generated Goat SNP BeadChip (Illumina Inc., USA). We identified 241 SNPs, which were significantly associated with studied traits, including 47 (p < 10−5) 194 suggestive 10−4), distributed among all goat autosomes except for autosome 23....
Abstract In goat breeds, the domestication followed by artificial selection for economically important traits have shaped genetic variation within populations, leading to fixation of specific alleles traits. This led formation and evolution many different breeds specialised raised a particular purpose. However, despite intensity selection, natural continues acting, possibly leaving more diluted contribution over time, whose traces may be difficult capture. order explore footprints as...
The genomes of worldwide poultry breeds divergently selected for performance and other phenotypic traits may also be affected by, formed due to, past current admixture events. Adaptation to diverse environments, including acclimation harsh climatic conditions, has left selection footprints in breed genomes.Using the Chicken 50K_CobbCons SNP chip, we genotyped four breeds: two aboriginal, cold tolerant Ushanka Orloff Mille Fleur, one egg-type Russian White subjected artificial tolerance,...
