Comparative Genomics, Evolutionary and Gene Regulatory Regions Analysis of Casein Gene Family in Bubalus bubalis.

ABSTRACT: Buffalo is a luxurious genetic resource with multiple utilities (as a dairy, draft, and meat animal) and economic significance in the tropical and subtropical regions of the globe. The excellent potential to survive and perform on marginal resources makes buffalo an important source for nutritious products, particularly milk and meat. This study was aimed to investigate the evolutionary relationship, physiochemical properties, and comparative genomic analysis of the casein gene family (CSN1S1, CSN2, CSN1S2, and CSN3) in river and swamp buffalo. Phylogenetic, gene structure, motif, and conserved domain analysis revealed the evolutionarily conserved nature of the casein genes in buffalo and other closely related species. Results indicated that casein proteins were unstable, hyd
