  • Revisiting AFLP Fingerprinting for an Unbiased Assessment of Genetic

    Revisiting AFLP Fingerprinting for an Unbiased Assessment of Genetic

    Utsunomiya et al. BMC Genetics 2014, 15:47 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2156/15/47 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Revisiting AFLP fingerprinting for an unbiased assessment of genetic structure and differentiation of taurine and zebu cattle Yuri Tani Utsunomiya1†, Lorenzo Bomba2†, Giordana Lucente2, Licia Colli2,3, Riccardo Negrini2, Johannes Arjen Lenstra4, Georg Erhardt5, José Fernando Garcia1,6, Paolo Ajmone-Marsan2,3* and European Cattle Genetic Diversity Consortium Abstract Background: Descendants from the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius), taurine (Bos taurus) and zebu cattle (Bos indicus) were domesticated 10,000 years ago in Southwestern and Southern Asia, respectively, and colonized the world undergoing complex events of admixture and selection. Molecular data, in particular genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, can complement historic and archaeological records to elucidate these past events. However, SNP ascertainment in cattle has been optimized for taurine breeds, imposing limitations to the study of diversity in zebu cattle. As amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers are discovered and genotyped as the samples are assayed, this type of marker is free of ascertainment bias. In order to obtain unbiased assessments of genetic differentiation and structure in taurine and zebu cattle, we analyzed a dataset of 135 AFLP markers in 1,593 samples from 13 zebu and 58 taurine breeds, representing nine continental areas. Results: We found a geographical pattern of expected heterozygosity in European taurine breeds decreasing with the distance from the domestication centre, arguing against a large-scale introgression from European or African aurochs. Zebu cattle were found to be at least as diverse as taurine cattle.

Silvia Bonfiglio1, Alessandro Achilli1,2, Anna Olivieri1, Riccardo Negrini3, Licia Colli3, Luigi Liotta4, Paolo Ajmone-Marsan3, Antonio Torroni1, Luca Ferretti1* 1 Dipartimento di Genetica e Microbiologia, Universita` di Pavia, Pavia, Italy, 2 Dipartimento di Biologia Cellulare e Ambientale, Universita` di Perugia, Perugia, Italy, 3 Istituto di Zootecnica, Universita` Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza, Italy, 4 Dipartimento di Morfologia, Biochimica, Fisiologia e Produzioni Animali, Universita` di Messina, Messina, Italy Abstract Background: When domestic taurine cattle diffused from the Fertile Crescent, local wild aurochsen (Bos primigenius) were still numerous. Moreover, aurochsen and introduced cattle often coexisted for millennia, thus providing potential conditions not only for spontaneous interbreeding, but also for pastoralists to create secondary domestication centers involving local aurochs populations. Recent mitochondrial genomes analyses revealed that not all modern taurine mtDNAs belong to the shallow macro-haplogroup T of Near Eastern origin, as demonstrated by the detection of three branches (P, Q and R) radiating prior to the T node in the bovine phylogeny. These uncommon haplogroups represent excellent tools to evaluate if sporadic interbreeding or even additional events of cattle domestication occurred. Methodology: The survey of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control-region variation of 1,747 bovine samples (1,128 new and 619 from previous studies) belonging to 37 European breeds allowed the identification of 16 novel non-T mtDNAs, which after complete genome sequencing were confirmed as members of haplogroups Q and R.

Sarti9, Elena Ciani11 and Fabio Pilla1 Abstract Background: During the Neolithic expansion, cattle accompanied humans and spread from their domestication centres to colonize the ancient world. In addition, European cattle occasionally intermingled with both indicine cattle and local aurochs resulting in an exclusive pattern of genetic diversity. Among the most ancient European cattle are breeds that belong to the so‑called Podolian trunk, the history of which is still not well established. Here, we used genome‑wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data on 806 individuals belonging to 36 breeds to reconstruct the origin and diversifcation of Podolian cattle and to provide a reliable scenario of the European colonization, through an approximate Bayesian computation random forest (ABC‑RF) approach. Results: Our results indicate that European Podolian cattle display higher values of genetic diversity indices than both African taurine and Asian indicine breeds. Clustering analyses show that Podolian breeds share close genomic relationships, which suggests a likely common genetic ancestry. Among the simulated and tested scenarios of the colonization of Europe from taurine cattle, the greatest support was obtained for the model assuming at least two waves of difusion.

Spallanzani” Rivolta d’Adda (Cremona), IT [email protected] 2 CREA Centro di ricerca Zootecnia e Acquacoltura (Lodi, IT) L’Italia grazie alla sua storia, alle sue tradizioni ed alla tipologia del territorio è un Paese particolarmente ricco di biodiversità: si contano oltre 200 razze zootecniche adattatesi nei secoli a produrre in ambienti diversificati per clima e vegetazione. La conservazione della biodiversità delle specie zootecniche è universalmente riconosciuta come una priorità importante, sia per aspetti ecologici, sociali e culturali, sia per il mantenimento del territorio, delle comunità rurali e delle tradizioni. La ricerca in ambito genetico-molecolare e le innovazioni tecnologiche possono essere un valido strumento a tutela della biodiversità. Oggetto di questo studio è stata la caratterizzazione di 20 razze bovine presenti in Italia, al fine di valutarne la diversità genetica tramite approccio molecolare, con l’utilizzo di un chip a 128 SNPs su piattaforma Open Array: 88 SNPs sono stati individuati nel pannello proposto per ISAG Bovine Comparison Test 2011 e, i restanti 40, nel database dbSNP dell’NCBI. Complessivamente sono stati analizzati 513 soggetti appartenenti alle 20 razze (25 campioni per razza) di seguito elencate: Bruna Alpina, Frisona, Valdostana Pezzata Rossa, Pezzata Rossa Italiana, Piemontese, Reggiana, Rendena, Grigia, Pinzgauer, Jersey, Valdostana Pezzata Nera, Charolaise, Marchigiana, Chianina, Limousine, Romagnola, Castana, Blue Belga, Montbeillarde, Blonde d’Aquitaine.

Laliotis1, Elisabeth Kunz2, Maulik Upadhyay2, Doris Seichter3, Ingolf Russ3, Bunevski Gjoko4, Nikolaos Kostaras5, Iosif Bizelis1 and Ivica Medugorac2* Abstract Background: The indigenous cattle populations from Greece and Cyprus have decreased to small numbers and are currently at risk of extinction due to socio-economic reasons, geographic isolation and crossbreeding with commer- cial breeds. This study represents the frst comprehensive genome-wide analysis of 10 indigenous cattle populations from continental Greece and the Greek islands, and one from Cyprus, and compares them with 104 international breeds using more than 46,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Results: We estimated several parameters of genetic diversity (e.g. heterozygosity and allelic diversity) that indicated a severe loss of genetic diversity for the island populations compared to the mainland populations, which is mainly due to the declining size of their population in recent years and subsequent inbreeding. This high inbreeding status also resulted in higher genetic diferentiation within the Greek and Cyprus cattle group compared to the remaining geographical breed groups. Supervised and unsupervised cluster analyses revealed that the phylogenetic patterns in the indigenous Greek breeds were consistent with their geographical origin and historical information regarding crosses with breeds of Anatolian or Balkan origin. Cyprus cattle showed a relatively high indicine ancestry. Greek island populations are placed close to the root of the tree as defned by Gir and the outgroup Yak, whereas the mainland breeds share a common historical origin with Buša.
