Mouse Lcorl Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) http://www.alphaknockout.com/ Mouse Lcorl Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Lcorl knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6N) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Lcorl gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_178142 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000015882 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 5. 7 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAG stop codon in exon 7 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000045586). Exon 2~4 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from about 16.08% of the coding region. Exon 2~4 covers 29.21% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~19967 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

  • Genetic Architecture of Quantitative Traits in Beef Cattle Revealed by Genome Wide Association Studies of Imputed Whole Genome S
    Zhang et al. BMC Genomics (2020) 21:36 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6362-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genetic architecture of quantitative traits in beef cattle revealed by genome wide association studies of imputed whole genome sequence variants: I: feed efficiency and component traits Feng Zhang1,2,3,4, Yining Wang1,2, Robert Mukiibi2, Liuhong Chen1,2, Michael Vinsky1, Graham Plastow2, John Basarab5, Paul Stothard2 and Changxi Li1,2* Abstract Background: Genome wide association studies (GWAS) on residual feed intake (RFI) and its component traits including daily dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG), and metabolic body weight (MWT) were conducted in a population of 7573 animals from multiple beef cattle breeds based on 7,853,211 imputed whole genome sequence variants. The GWAS results were used to elucidate genetic architectures of the feed efficiency related traits in beef cattle. Results: The DNA variant allele substitution effects approximated a bell-shaped distribution for all the traits while the distribution of additive genetic variances explained by single DNA variants followed a scaled inverse chi- squared distribution to a greater extent. With a threshold of P-value < 1.00E-05, 16, 72, 88, and 116 lead DNA variants on multiple chromosomes were significantly associated with RFI, DMI, ADG, and MWT, respectively. In addition, lead DNA variants with potentially large pleiotropic effects on DMI, ADG, and MWT were found on chromosomes 6, 14 and 20. On average, missense, 3’UTR, 5’UTR, and other regulatory region variants exhibited larger allele substitution effects in comparison to other functional classes. Intergenic and intron variants captured smaller proportions of additive genetic variance per DNA variant.

  • High-Resolution Analysis of Selection Sweeps Identified Between Fine
    Gutiérrez‑Gil et al. Genet Sel Evol (2017) 49:81 DOI 10.1186/s12711-017-0354-x Genetics Selection Evolution RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access High‑resolution analysis of selection sweeps identifed between fne‑wool Merino and coarse‑wool Churra sheep breeds Beatriz Gutiérrez‑Gil1* , Cristina Esteban‑Blanco1,2, Pamela Wiener3, Praveen Krishna Chitneedi1, Aroa Suarez‑Vega1 and Juan‑Jose Arranz1 Abstract Background: With the aim of identifying selection signals in three Merino sheep lines that are highly specialized for fne wool production (Australian Industry Merino, Australian Merino and Australian Poll Merino) and considering that these lines have been subjected to selection not only for wool traits but also for growth and carcass traits and parasite resistance, we contrasted the OvineSNP50 BeadChip (50 K-chip) pooled genotypes of these Merino lines with the genotypes of a coarse-wool breed, phylogenetically related breed, Spanish Churra dairy sheep. Genome re-sequenc‑ ing datasets of the two breeds were analyzed to further explore the genetic variation of the regions initially identifed as putative selection signals. Results: Based on the 50 K-chip genotypes, we used the overlapping selection signals (SS) identifed by four selec‑ tion sweep mapping analyses (that detect genetic diferentiation, reduced heterozygosity and patterns of haplotype diversity) to defne 18 convergence candidate regions (CCR), fve associated with positive selection in Australian Merino and the remainder indicating positive selection in Churra. Subsequent analysis of whole-genome sequences from 15 Churra and 13 Merino samples identifed 142,400 genetic variants (139,745 bi-allelic SNPs and 2655 indels) within the 18 defned CCR. Annotation of 1291 variants that were signifcantly associated with breed identity between Churra and Merino samples identifed 257 intragenic variants that caused 296 functional annotation variants, 275 of which were located across 31 coding genes.

Details about the recruitment and selection procedure have been described elsewhere (1). Briefly, among the 15 people with radiologically documented SIT, those who had symptoms reminiscent of PCD, or who were formally diagnosed with PCD according to their medical record, were categorized as having Kartagener syndrome. Those who had no reported symptoms or formal diagnosis of PCD were assigned to the non-PCD SIT group. Handedness was assessed using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI) (2). Tables 1 and S1 give overviews of the participants and their characteristics. Note that one non-PCD SIT subject reported being forced to switch from left- to right-handedness in childhood, in which case five out of nine of the non-PCD SIT cases are naturally left-handed (Table 1, Table S1).

  • A Genome-Wide Association Study for Body Weight in Japanese Thoroughbred Racehorses Clarifies Candidate Regions on Chromosomes 3, 9, 15, and 18
    —Full Paper— A genome-wide association study for body weight in Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses clarifies candidate regions on chromosomes 3, 9, 15, and 18 Teruaki TOZAKI1*, Mio KIKUCHI1, Hironaga KAKOI1, Kei-ichi HIROTA1 and Shun-ichi NAGATA1 1Genetic Analysis Department, Laboratory of Racing Chemistry, Tochigi 320-0851, Japan Body weight is an important trait to confirm growth and development in humans and animals. In Thoroughbred racehorses, it is measured in the postnatal, training, and racing periods to evaluate growth and training degrees. The body weight of mature Thoroughbred J. Equine Sci. racehorses generally ranges from 400 to 600 kg, and this broad range is likely influenced Vol. 28, No. 4 by environmental and genetic factors. Therefore, a genome-wide association study pp. 127–134, 2017 (GWAS) using the Equine SNP70 BeadChip was performed to identify the genomic regions associated with body weight in Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses using 851 individuals. The average body weight of these horses was 473.9 kg (standard deviation: 28.0) at the age of 3, and GWAS identified statistically significant SNPs on chromosomes 3 (BIEC2_808466, P=2.32E-14), 9 (BIEC2_1105503, P=1.03E-7), 15 (BIEC2_322669, P=9.50E-6), and 18 (BIEC2_417274, P=1.44E-14), which were associated with body weight as a quantitative trait. The genomic regions on chromosomes 3, 9, 15, and 18 included ligand-dependent nuclear receptor compressor-like protein (LCORL), zinc finger and AT hook domain containing (ZFAT), tribbles pseudokinase 2 (TRIB2), and myostatin (MSTN), respectively, as candidate genes. LCORL and ZFAT are associated with withers height in horses, whereas MSTN affects muscle mass.

  • Sheep Genome Functional Annotation Reveals Proximal Regulatory Elements Contributed to the Evolution of Modern Breeds
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-02809-1 OPEN Sheep genome functional annotation reveals proximal regulatory elements contributed to the evolution of modern breeds Marina Naval-Sanchez1, Quan Nguyen1, Sean McWilliam1, Laercio R.

Worley9, Richard A. Gibbs9, Donna M. Muzny9, Shalini N. Jhangiani9, Noelle Cockett10, Hans Daetwyler11,12 & James Kijas1 1234567890():,; Domestication fundamentally reshaped animal morphology, physiology and behaviour, offering the opportunity to investigate the molecular processes driving evolutionary change. Here we assess sheep domestication and artificial selection by comparing genome sequence from 43 modern breeds (Ovis aries) and their Asian mouflon ancestor (O. orientalis)to identify selection sweeps. Next, we provide a comparative functional annotation of the sheep genome, validated using experimental ChIP-Seq of sheep tissue. Using these annotations, we evaluate the impact of selection and domestication on regulatory sequences and find that sweeps are significantly enriched for protein coding genes, proximal regulatory elements of genes and genome features associated with active transcription. Finally, we find individual sites displaying strong allele frequency divergence are enriched for the same regulatory features. Our data demonstrate that remodelling of gene expression is likely to have been one of the evolutionary forces that drove phenotypic diversification of this common livestock species. 1 CSIRO Agriculture and Food, 306 Carmody Road, St. Lucia 4067 QLD, Australia. 2 Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG), Bellaterra 08193, Spain. 3 ICREA, Carrer de Lluís Companys 23, Barcelona 08010, Spain.

  • Expression Levels of LCORL Are Associated with Body Size in Horses
    Expression Levels of LCORL Are Associated with Body Size in Horses Julia Metzger, Rahel Schrimpf, Ute Philipp, Ottmar Distl* Institute for Animal Breeding and Genetics, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Hannover, Germany Abstract Body size is an important characteristic for horses of various breeds and essential for the classification of ponies concerning the limit value of 148 cm (58.27 inches) height at the withers. Genome-wide association analyses revealed the highest associated quantitative trait locus for height at the withers on horse chromosome (ECA) 3 upstream of the candidate gene LCORL. Using 214 Hanoverian horses genotyped on the Illumina equine SNP50 BeadChip and 42 different horse breeds across all size ranges, we confirmed the highly associated single nucleotide polymorphism BIEC2-808543 (2log10P = 8.3) and the adjacent gene LCORL as the most promising candidate for body size. We investigated the relative expression levels of LCORL and its two neighbouring genes NCAPG and DCAF16 using quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). We could demonstrate a significant association of the relative LCORL expression levels with the size of the horses and the BIEC2- 808543 genotypes within and across horse breeds. In heterozygous C/T-horses expression levels of LCORL were significantly decreased by 40% and in homozygous C/C-horses by 56% relative to the smaller T/T-horses. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that this SNP T.C mutation is disrupting a putative binding site of the transcription factor TFIID which is important for the transcription process of genes involved in skeletal bone development. Thus, our findings suggest that expression levels of LCORL play a key role for body size within and across horse breeds and regulation of the expression of LCORL is associated with genetic variants of BIEC2-808543.

NCAPG has been demonstrated to be associated with farm animal growth traits. However, its role in regulating myoblast differentiation is still unclear. We used myoblasts derived from fetal bovine tissue as an in vitro model and found that NCAPG was expressed during myogenic differentiation in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Silencing NCAPG prolonged the mitosis and impaired the differentiation due to increased myoblast apoptosis.
