Genome-wide analyses of genomic diversity, population structure and selection signatures in Italian turkey populations.

ABSTRACT: Italian local turkey populations are an important source of genetic diversity that should be preserved through an in vivo approach. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and genotyping datasets were used to assess genetic variability within and across populations, to perform a genome-wide comparative analysis among populations and to identify selection signatures in Italian turkey populations. We used new data from 73 WGS samples (12X) representing five turkey populations, together with previous data from 107 birds genotyped with the Affymetrix 600K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) turkey array from 11 populations. The PCA and Admixture show a relatively strong isolation effect between the populations. Moreover, the values of genomic inbreeding based on ROH (F_ROH) showed marked diff
