چکیده

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a major procedure for studying the genetics of complex economically important traits in sheep. The objective of this study was to determine the genomic regions affecting some growth traits and wool characteristics in Zandi sheep. This study is GWAS implementing a medium-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel to determine the putative chromosome area affecting some growth and wool traits in a fat-tailed sheep breed, simultaneously. We used a selective genomic approach sampling DNA from animals at the extreme ends using the estimated breeding values derived from a total population size of over ۵,۰۰۰ animals. The examined phenotypic data included the birth weight, weaning weight, ۶, ۹, and ۱۲-months after birth weight, pre- and post-weaning average daily gain, fiber diameter (micron), prickle factor (%), staple length (mm), kemp (%) and medullated fiber. Genome-wide association analyses were performed based on the mixed linear model. Twenty-three regions, in which four were associated with more than one trait, located on ۱۲ chromosomeswere associated with the studied growth and wool traits (p < ­۵×۱۰−۶). These genomic regions overlapping with KCNIP۴, PPARGC۱A, ASAP۱, ANK۲, WWOX, SYNE۱, FBXO۵, AKAP۶, FABP۳, ANGPTL۴, ATP۶V۱B۲, PARK۲, and KRTAP۱۱-۱ genes, were associated with postnatal growth, regulation of metabolic pathways, skeletal muscle differentiation, and bone growth. Gene ontology term enrichment analysis revealed that genes involved in positive regulation of muscle structure, and muscle tissue development were over-represented in the identified candidate genes.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
