Majorera, Palmera and Tinerfeña are 3 local goat breeds reared in the Canary Islands which are specialized in the production of milk to elaborate cheese. Several studies have shown that the founder population of Canarian goats had an African origin, with posterior admixture, particularly in the 20th century, from European goats. The goal of this research is to determine the genetic contributions of African and European goats to the Canarian gene pool by using a high-throughput genotyping approach. Blood samples from 72 Canarian goats (24 Majorera, 24 Palmera and 24 Tinerefeña) were analyzed using the GoatSNP50 BeadChip (Illumina) and compared with 654 goats from 30 different breeds investigated in the ADAPTmap Project (http://www.goatadaptmap.org/). The SNPs were filtered using the PLINK v 1.9 program, excluding SNPs with a MAF less than 0.05, missing genotype data higher than 0.01 and significant departure from HWE (P-value
This study was funded by the RTA2014-00047-00-00 Project (INIA).
