Genome Wide Identification of Structure Variations in Five Italian Turkey Populations.

ABSTRACT: Structural variants (SVs) are one of the main sources of genetic variants and have a significant impact on phenotype evolution, disease susceptibility, and environmental adaptations. We used 73 whole genome sequencing (12x) to apply a mapping approach to identify SVs in five turkey populations. A notable degree of genetic isolation was observed between the Basilicata and Apulian populations, as indicated by principal component analysis and admixture results. A total of 11,733 SVs were detected, including 6712 deletions, 2671 duplications, 1430 inversions, and 920 translocations. The Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) analysis predicted various consequences of filtered SVs as follows: intron variants (35.8%), intergenic variants (9.6%), coding sequence variants (8.3%), downstream gene variants
