Development of Genomic Resources and Identification of Genetic Diversity and Genetic Structure of the Domestic Bactrian Camel in China by RAD Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The domestic Bactrian camel is indispensable to agricultural production in the desertification area of China owning to its endurance to hunger and thirst, cold resistance, drought resistance, and good long-distance transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the genetic diversity, genetic structure, and genes with important roles in the evolution of this species. In this study, 1,568,087 SNPs were identified in 47 domestic Bactrian camels inhabiting four regions of China, namely Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang, by restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq). The SNP data were used for nucleotide diversity analysis (π) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) attenuation analysis to elucidate the genetic diversity of the domestic Bactrian camel in the four regions
