Abstract
Donkeys transformed human history as essential beasts of burden for long-distance movement, especially across semi-arid and upland environments. They remain insufficiently studied despite globally expanding and providing key support to low- to middle-income communities. To elucidate their domestication history, we constructed a comprehensive genome panel of 207 modern and 31 ancient donkeys, as well as 15 wild equids. We found a strong phylogeographic structure in modern donkeys that supports a single domestication in Africa ~5000 BCE, followed by further expansions in this continent and Eurasia and ultimately returning to Africa. We uncover a previously unknown genetic lineage in the Levant ~200 BCE, which contributed increasing ancestry toward Asia. Donkey management involved inbreeding and the production of giant bloodlines at a time when mules were essential to the Roman economy and military.

A genome-wide epistatic network underlies the molecular architecture of continuous color variation of body extremities. Genomics 2022; 114:110361.

Abstract
Deciphering the molecular architecture of coat coloration for a better understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying pigmentation still remains a challenge. We took advantage of a rabbit French experimental population in which both a pattern and a gradient of coloration from white to brown segregated within the himalayan phenotype. The whole experimental design was genotyped using the high density Affymetrix® AxiomOrcun™ SNP Array and phenotyped into 6 different groups ordered from the lighter to the darker. Genome-wide association analyses pinpointed an oligogenic determinism, under recessive and additive inheritance, involving genes already known in melanogenesis (ASIP, KIT, MC1R, TYR), and likely processed pseudogenes linked to ribosomal function, RPS20 and RPS14. We also identified (i) gene-gene interactions through ASIP:MC1R affecting light cream/beige phenotypes while KIT:RPS responsible of dark chocolate/brown colors and (ii) a genome-wide epistatic network involving several others coloration genes such as POT1 or HPS5. Finally, we determined the recessive inheritance of the English spotting phenotype likely involving a copy number variation affecting at least the end of the coding sequence of the KIT gene. Our analyses of coloration as a continuous trait allowed us to go beyond much of the established knowledge through the detection of additional genes and gene-gene interactions that may contribute to the molecular architecture of the coloration phenotype.

BMC Genomics 2021; 22:381. [PMID: 34034661 PMCID: PMC8146663 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-021-07719-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Birds have various plumage color patterns, and spot is a common phenotype. Herein, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in a population of 225 ducks with different sized black spots to reveal the genetic basis of this phenomenon. Results First, we quantified the black spot phenotype within the duck population. The results showed that the uncolored area of the body surface first appeared on the ventral side. With increasing duck age, the area of the black spots was highly conserved across the whole body surface. The GWAS results identified a 198 kb (Chr4: 10,149,651 bp to 10,348,068 bp) genetic region that was significantly associated with the black spot phenotype. The conditional GWAS and linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis further narrowed the ultimate candidate region to 167 kb (Chr4: 10,180,939 bp to 10,348,068 bp). A key gene regulating melanoblast migration and differentiation, EDNRB2 (Endothelin B receptor-like), was found in the candidate region and having significant mRNA expression level changes in embryonic duck skin tissue with different spot sizes. The significant SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) associated with the EDNRB2 gene were annotated, and two mutations (Chr4: 10,180,939 T > C and Chr4: 10,190,671 A > T) were found to result in the loss of binding sites for two trans-factors, XBP1 and cMYB. The phenotypic effect of these two mutations suggested that they can regulate the size of black spots in a dose-dependent manner, and Chr4: 10,180,939 T > C was the major allele locus. Conclusions Our results revealed that EDNRB2 was the gene responsible for the variation in duck body surface spot size. Chr4: 10,180,939 T > C was the major allele that explained 49.5 % (dorsal side) and 32.9 % (ventral side) of the variation in duck body surface spot size, while 32.1 % (dorsal side) and 19.1 % (ventral side) of the variation could be explained by Chr4: 10,190,671 A > T. The trans-factor prediction also suggested that XBP1 and cMYB have the potential to interact with EDNRB2, providing new insights into the mechanism of action of these genes.
