Signatures of selection in Angus and Hanwoo beef cattle using imputed whole genome sequence data [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics
In this study, we detected signatures of selection in Hanwoo and Angus beef cattle using allele frequency and haplotype-based methods based on imputed whole genome sequence variants.

A bioinformatics workflow for detecting signatures of selection in genomic data

Frontiers in Genetics, 2014
The detection of signatures of selection is now possible on a genome-wide scale in many plant and animal species, and can be performed in a population-specific manner due to the wealth of per-population genome-wide genotype data that is available.

Genome-wide selection signatures address trait specific candidate genes in cattle indigenous to arid regions of India

Animal Biotechnology
The peculiarity of Indian cattle lies in milk quality, resistance to diseases and stressors as well as adaptability. The investigation addressed selection signatures in Gir and Tharparkar cattle, belonging to arid ecotypes of India.

SEQUENCE ANALYSIS SUGGESTS POSITIVE SELECTION ON THE BOVINE PRODYNORPHIN GENE [PDF]

BAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2020
Dynorphin A is an endogenous opioid peptide that is part of the KNDy system in the hypothalamus of mammals. This peptide acts as an inhibitor of the GnRH pulse generation, thus regulating the onset of puberty and reproductive cycles.

Genotyping and Whole-Genome Resequencing of Welsh Sheep Breeds Reveal Candidate Genes and Variants for Adaptation to Local Environment and Socioeconomic Traits

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
BackgroundAdvances in genetic tools applied to livestock breeding has prompted research into the previously neglected breeds adapted to harsh local environments. One such group is the Welsh mountain sheep breeds, which can be farmed at altitudes of 300 m

Lost pigs of Angola: Whole genome sequencing reveals unique regions of selection with emphasis on metabolism and feed efficiency

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Angola, in the western coast of Africa, has been through dramatic social events that have led to the near-disappearance of native swine populations, and the recent introduction of European exotic breeds has also contributed to the erosion of this native ...

Homozygosity Mapping Reveals Population History and Trait Architecture in Self-Incompatible Pear (Pyrus spp.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) have been widely used to study population history and trait architecture in humans and livestock species, but their application in self-incompatible plants has not been reported.

Exome sequencing of deer mice on two California Channel Islands identifies potential adaptation to strongly contrasting ecological conditions

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Understanding the forces that drive genotypic and phenotypic change in wild populations is a central goal of evolutionary biology. We examined exome variation in populations of deer mice from two of the California Channel Islands: Peromyscus maniculatus ...
