Project description:Copy number variations (CNVs) affect a wide range of phenotypic traits; however, CNVs in or near segmental duplication regions are often intractable. Using a read depth approach based on next-generation sequencing, we examined genome-wide copy number differences among five taurine (three Angus, one Holstein and one Hereford) and one indicine (Nelore) cattle. Within mapped chromosomal sequence, we identified 1,265 CNV regions comprising ~55.6 Mbp sequence-476 of which (~38%) have not previously been reported. We validated this sequence-based CNV call set with aCGH, qPCR and FISH, achieving a validation rate of 82% and a false positive rate of 8%. We further estimated absolute copy numbers for genomic segments and annotated genes in each individual. Surveys of the top 25 most variable genes revealed that the Nelore individual had the lowest copy numbers in 13 cases (~52%, chi squared test; p value <0.05). In contrast, genes related to pathogen- and parasite-resistance, such as CATHL4 and ULBP17, were highly duplicated in the Nelore individual relative to the taurine cattle, while genes involved in lipid transport and metabolism, including APOL3 and FABP2, were highly duplicated in the beef breeds. These CNV regions also harbor genes like BPIFA2A (BSP30A) and WC1, suggesting that some CNVs may be associated with breed-specific differences in adaptation, health, and production traits. By providing the first individualized cattle CNV and segmental duplication maps and genome-wide gene copy number estimates, we enable future CNV studies into highly duplicated regions in the cattle genome. 5 NimbleGen Bos Taurus UMD3 custom 2.1M whole genome high density aCGH

Project description:The development of massively parallel sequencing technologies enables the sequencing of total cDNA to identify unigene expression and to discover novel regions of transcription. Here, we report the first use of RNA-Seq to find the digital gene expression profiles (DGEs) associated with the growth and development of muscle in both Chinese Luxi and Angus beef cattle. More than 9,243,921 clean reads were found in samples of muscle tissue. We found 232 DGEs between Luxi cattle and Angus cattle (FDRM-bM-^IM-$0.001 AND |log2Ratio|M-bM-^IM-%1). Among the DGEs, we determined that 147 genes were down-regulated and 85 genes were up-regulated. GO and Pathway analysis were performed to analyze the biological role of the DGEs and determine their contribution to the differences seen in muscle growth and development between local Chinese Luxi cattle and the introduced Angus cattle. This article suggests that RNA-Seq is a useful tool for predicting differences in gene expression between Luxi and Angus beef cattle; moreover, our result provides unprecedented resolution of mRNAs that are expressed across the two breeds. Three Luxi and three Angus cattle that were eighteen months of age were generated by RNA-Seq

Project description:Heat stress has a detrimental impact on cattle health, welfare and productivity by affecting gene expression, metabolism and immune response, but little is known on the epigenetic mechanisms mediating the effect of temperatureat the cellular and organism level. In this study, we investigated genome-wide DNA methylation in blood samples collected from 5 bulls of the heat stress resilient Nellore breed and 5 bulls of the Angus that are more heat stress susceptible, exposed to the sun and high temperature-high humidity during the summer season of the Brazilian South-East region. The methylomes were analyzed during and after the exposure by Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing, which provided genome-wide single-base resolution methylation profiles. Significant methylation changes between stressful and recovery periods were observed in 822 genes. Among these, 352 were only seen in Angus, 367 were specific to Nellore, and 103 showed significant changes in methylation patterns in both breeds. KEGG and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses showed that responses were breed-specific. Interestingly, in Nellore significant genes and pathways were mainly involved in stress responses and cellular defense and were undermethylated during heat stress. Whereas in Angus the response was less focused. These preliminary results suggest that heat challenge induces changes in methylation patterns in specific loci, which should be further scrutinized to assess their role in heat tolerance.

Project description:The intramuscular fat (IMF) content of different beef cattle breeds varies greatly, which plays an important role in taste and nutritional value. However, the molecular mechanism of fat metabolism and deposition in beef cattle is still not very clear. In this study, the meat quality traits of Angus cattle and Chinese Simmental cattle were compared, the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) between Angus cattle and Chinese Simmental cattle was then analyzed to identify key genes related to fat metabolism and adipogenesis by high-throughput RNA-seq technology. In the current study conducted a comprehensive analysis on the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) of Angus and Simmental cattle, and identified differentially expressed genes related to lipid metabolism，which may have a great impact on on the formation of IMF.

Project description:Structural and functional impacts of copy number variations (CNVs) on livestock genomes are not yet well understood. In this study, we have identified 1853 CNV regions (CNVRs) using population-scale sequencing data generated from 75 cattle of 8 breeds (Holstein, Angus, Jersey, Limousin, Romagnola, Brahman, Gir and Nelore). Individual genome sequence coverage ranged from 4 to 30 fold, with a mean of 11.8 fold. A total of 3.1% (87.5 Mb) of the cattle genome is predicted to be copy number variable, representing a substantial increase over the previous estimates (~2%). This dataset was highly correlated with array CGH data (r2 = 0.761) and was validated to be accurate with an estimated 12% false positive rate and a 19% false negative rate based on qPCR and array CGH, respectively. Hundreds of CNVs were found to be either breed specific or differentially variable across breeds, including the RICTOR gene in dairy breeds and the PNPLA3 gene in the beef breeds. In contrast, clusters of the PRP and PAG genes are duplicated in all sequenced animals, implicating that subfunctionalization, neofunctionalization or overdominance play a role in diversifying these fertility related genes. Further population-genetic analyses based on CNVs revealed the population structures of these taurine and indicine breeds and uncovered hundreds of positively selected CNV candidates near important functional genes. These CNV results provide a new glimpse of diverse selections during cattle speciation, domestication, breed formation, and recent genetic improvement. 25 animals were analyzed using a custom Nimblegen aCGH chip with 2.1 million probes. The reference animal chosen was L1 Dominette, a Hereford cow of European ancestry. The array was subjected to a dye-swap with the reference sample to test probe intensity fidelity. Single channel intensity data from the array was used in a digital aCGH analysis to compare aCGH copy number estimates to copy number estimates derived from sequence data. Briefly, the reference signal from all analyzed arrays was collected and a median signal intensity was calculated from probe intensities within the BTF3 gene. The copy number of the reference animal was then inferred by division of single channel probe intensities with the median intensity of the BTF3 gene. Next, test sample intensities were normalized by taking the log2 ratio of the test intensity divided by the normalized reference copy number for the probe. CN values derived from sequence data were also normalized in this fashion by taking the log2 of the ratio of NGS CN divided by aCGH reference copy number.
