Uncovering structural variants in Creole cattle from Guadeloupe and their impact on environmental adaptation through whole genome sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Structural variants play an important role in evolutionary processes. Besides, they constitute a large source of inter individual genetic variation that might represent a major factor in the aetiology of complex, multifactorial traits. Their importance in adaptation is becoming increasingly evident in literature. Yet, the characterization of the genomic landscape of structural variants in local breeds remains scarce to date. Herein, we investigate patterns and gene annotation of structural variants in the Creole cattle from Guadeloupe breed using whole genome sequences from 23 bulls representative of the population. In total, we detected 32821 ascertained SV defining 15258 regions, representing ~ 17% of the Creole cattle genome. Among these, 6639 regions have not been previously reported i
