Identifying low-density, ancestry-informative SNP markers through whole genome resequencing in Indian, Chinese, and wild yak.

ABSTRACT: The current investigation was undertaken to elucidate the population-stratifying and ancestry-informative markers in Indian, Chinese, and wild yak populations using whole genome resequencing (WGS) analysis while employing various selection strategies (Delta, Pairwise Wright's Fixation Index-F_ST, and Informativeness of Assignment) and marker densities (5-25 thousand). The study used WGS data on 105 individuals from three separate yak cohorts i.e., Indian yak (n = 29), Chinese yak (n = 61), and wild yak (n = 15). Variant calling in the GATK program with strict quality control resulted in 1,002,970 high-quality and independent (LD-pruned) SNP markers across the yak autosomes. Analysis was undertaken in toolbox for ranking and evaluation of SNPs (TRES) program wherein three differen
