Abstract The wisent (Bison bonasus) is Europe’s largest land mammal. We produced a HiFi read-based wisent assembly with a contig N50 value of 91 Mb containing 99.7% of the highly conserved single copy mammalian genes which improves contiguity a thousand-fold over an existing assembly. Extended runs of homozygosity in the wisent genome compromised the separation of the HiFi reads into parental-specific read sets, which resulted in inferior haplotype assemblies. A bovine super-pangenome built with assemblies from wisent, bison, gaur, yak, taurine and indicine cattle identified a 1580 bp deletion removing the protein-coding sequence of THRSP encoding thyroid hormone-responsive protein from the wisent and bison genomes. Analysis of 725 sequenced samples across the Bovinae subfamily showed that the deletion is fixed in both Bison species but absent in Bos and Bubalus. The THRSP transcript is abundant in adipose, fat, liver, muscle, and mammary gland tissue of Bos and Bubalus, but absent in bison. This indicates that the deletion likely inactivates THRSP in bison. We show that super-pangenomes can reveal potentially trait-associated variation across phylogenies, but also demonstrate that haplotype assemblies from species that went through population bottlenecks warrant scrutiny, as they may have accumulated long runs of homozygosity that complicate phasing. |
