Genomic Dissection of Chinese Yangtze River Delta White Goat Based on Whole Genome Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The conservation and utilization of livestock genetic resources is essential for the maintenance of biodiversity and breed innovation. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on 90 samples from Chinese Yangtze River Delta White goats (YRD), sourced from two populations of Chongming island white goats and Haimen white goats, aiming to dissect their genomic characteristics. In addition, 262 WGS data from nine other breeds of goats were downloaded from the NCBI database. These WGS data obtained were used to identify and analyze genetic variation with the goat reference genome, and the genetic structure of goat populations was analyzed. Through selective sweep analysis, the selection-signature genes and their polymorphic features were identified. It was found that the most significant geno
