Elucidation of population stratifying markers and selective sweeps in crossbred Landlly pig population using genome-wide SNP data. Mamm Genome 2024; 35:170-185. [PMID: 38485788 DOI: 10.1007/s00335-024-10029-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The present study was aimed at the identification of population stratifying markers from the commercial porcine SNP 60K array and elucidate the genome-wide selective sweeps in the crossbred Landlly pig population. Original genotyping data, generated on Landlly pigs, was merged in various combinations with global suid breeds that were grouped as exotic (global pig breeds excluding Indian and Chinese), Chinese (Chinese pig breeds only), and outgroup pig populations. Post quality control, the genome-wide SNPs were ranked for their stratifying power within each dataset in TRES (using three different criteria) and FIFS programs and top-ranked SNPs (0.5K, 1K, 2K, 3K, and 4K densities) were selected. PCA plots were used to assess the stratification power of low-density panels. Selective sweeps were elucidated in the Landlly population using intra- and inter-population haplotype statistics. Additionally, Tajima's D-statistics were calculated to determine the status of balancing selection in the Landlly population. PCA plots showed 0.5K marker density to effectively stratify Landlly from other pig populations. The A-score in DAPC program revealed the Delta statistic of marker selection to outperform other methods (informativeness and FST methods) and that 3000-marker density was suitable for stratification of Landlly animals from exotic pig populations. The results from selective sweep analysis revealed the Landlly population to be under selection for mammary (NAV2), reproductive efficiency (JMY, SERGEF, and MAP3K20), body conformation (FHIT, WNT2, ASRB, DMGDH, and BHMT), feed efficiency (CSRNP1 and ADRA1A), and immunity (U6, MYO3B, RBMS3, and FAM78B) traits. More than two methods suggested sweeps for immunity and feed efficiency traits, thus giving a strong indication for selection in this direction. The study is the first of its kind in Indian pig breeds with a comparison against global breeds. In conclusion, 500 markers were able to effectively stratify the breeds. Different traits under selective sweeps (natural or artificial selection) can be exploited for further improvement.

Elucidation of novel SNPs affecting immune response to classical swine fever vaccination in pigs using immunogenomics approach. Vet Res Commun 2024; 48:941-953.

Abstract
The host genetic makeup plays a significant role in causing the within-breed variation among individuals after vaccination. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the genetic basis of differential immune response between high and low responder Landlly (Landrace X Ghurrah) piglets vis-à-vis CSF vaccination. For the purpose, E2 antibody response against CSF vaccination was estimated in sampled animals on the day of vaccination and 21-day post-vaccination as a measure of humoral immune response. Double-digestion restriction associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing was undertaken on 96 randomly chosen Landlly piglets using Illumina HiSeq platform. SNP markers were called using standard methodology. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) was undertaken in PLINK program to identify the informative SNP markers significantly associated with differential immune response. The results revealed significant SNPs associated with E2 antibody response against CSF vaccination. The genome-wide informative SNPs for the humoral immune response against CSF vaccination were located on SSC10, SSC17, SSC9, SSC2, SSC3 and SSC6. The overlapping and flanking genes (500Kb upstream and downstream) of significant SNPs were CYB5R1, PCMTD2, WT1, IL9R, CD101, TMEM64, TLR6, PIGG, ADIPOR1, PRSS37, EIF3M, and DNAJC24. Functional enrichment and annotation analysis were undertaken for these genes in order to gain maximum insights into the association of these genes with immune system functionality in pigs. The genetic makeup was associated with differential immune response against CSF vaccination in Landlly piglets while the identified informative SNPs may be used as suitable markers for determining variation in host immune response against CSF vaccination in pigs.

Abstract
The field of genetics has evolved a lot after the emergence of molecular and advanced genomic technologies. The advent of Next Generation Sequencing, SNP genotyping platforms and simultaneous reduction in the cost of sequencing had opened the door to genomic research in farm animals. There are various applications of genomics in livestock, such as the use of genomic data: (i) to investigate genetic diversity and breed composition/population structure (ii) to identify genetic variants and QTLs related to economically important and ecological traits, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic signatures of selection; (iii) to enhance breeding programs by genomic selection. Compared to traditional methods, genomic selection is expected to improve selection response by increasing selection accuracy and reducing the generation interval due to early selection. Genomic selection (GS) in developed countries has led to rapid genetic gains, especially in dairy cattle, due to a well-established genetic evaluation system. Indian livestock system is still lagging behind developed nations in adopting these technologies. This review discusses the current status, challenges, and future perspectives of livestock genomics in India.

Abstract
Livestock plays a central role in sustaining human livelihood in South Asia. There are numerous and distinct livestock species in South Asian countries. Several of them have experienced genetic development in recent years due to the application of genomic technologies and effective breeding programs. This review discusses genomic studies on cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, pig, horse, camel, yak, mithun, and poultry. The frontiers covered in this review are genetic diversity, admixture studies, selection signature research, QTL discovery, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and genomic selection. The review concludes with recommendations for South Asian livestock systems to increasingly leverage genomic technologies, based on the lessons learned from the numerous case studies. This paper aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the dichotomy in the South Asian livestock sector and argues that a realistic approach to genomics in livestock can ensure long-term genetic advancements.
