Genomic Identification, Evolution, and Expression Analysis of Bromodomain Genes Family in Buffalo.

ABSTRACT: Bromodomain (BRD) is an evolutionarily conserved protein-protein interaction module that is critical in gene regulation, cellular homeostasis, and epigenetics. This study aimed to conduct an identification, evolution, and expression analysis of the BRD gene family in the swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). A total of 101 BRD protein sequences deduced from 22 BRD genes were found in the buffalo genome. The BRD proteins were classified into six groups based on phylogenetic relationships, conserved motifs, and conserved domains. The BRD genes were irregularly distributed in 13 chromosomes. Collinearity analysis revealed 20 BRD gene pairs that had remarkable homologous relationships between the buffalo and cattle, although no tandem or segmental duplication event was found in the buffalo B
