PSIX-26 Genome-wide search for selection signatures in European wild boar

ABSTRACT: Abstract The search for selection signatures in wild boars was meant to assist in identifying genomic regions associated with adaptation to environmental conditions. The aim of our study was to seek selection signatures in European wild boars of Russia. We studied 66 wild boars from 20 different regions in four different climatic zones. DNA samples were genotyped using Porcine SNP60 BeadChips and GeneSeek SNP-chips (Illumina, San Diego, USA). Quality control procedures were carried out resorting to PLINK v1.9; briefly, individuals with genotype call rates of < 0.8 and SNPs with call rates of < 0.3 or minor allele frequencies less than 0.99 were excluded. Also, we resorted to “–LD” to make prune filtering in Plink. In total 37065 markers from full subset of SNPs were used for subsequent ana
