| Popis: | Background: Many genomic imprinting left during long-term selective evolution may drive the formation of important economical traits of introduced and indigenous sheep breeds. Methods: In this study, OvineSNP50 BeadChip data of the introduced breeds GMM and DOR and the indigenous breed Sunit were downloaded from public databases. Selective sweep base on Pi and Fst strategy initially screened for a number of candidate genes that could explain the genetic mechanism elucidated the genetic-molecular mechanisms underlying the differentiation of growth development and reproductive traits between introduced and indigenous breeds. Result: In the DOR_VS_GMM group, 32 genes were identified. In the DOR_VS_SUN group, 26 genes were identified. In the GMM_VS_SUN group, 25 genes were identified. GO, KEGG enrichment analysis showed that these genes are mainly involved in the pathways of muscle development and reproductive regulation. We speculate that EHBP1, CSRP1, TNNI1, MBNL1, AADACL3, RDH13, TNNI3, BMP2, Wfdc8, PPP1CC2 and MOV10L1 may have left deep marks on the genome during long-term domestication and evolution and may be responsible for the productive and reproductive performance in the Merino and Sunit sheep. These genes have played an important role in the evolution of selection in the three breeds. It is expected that the selected candidate genes will provide some insights for future sheep germplasm mining and foreign introductions. |
