Evolutionary and Association Analysis of Buffalo FABP Family Genes Reveal Their Potential Role in Milk Performance.

ABSTRACT: The fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) family gene encode a group of proteins that affect long-chain fatty acid (LCFAs) trafficking and play a crucial function in the regulation of milk fat synthesis. Nevertheless, little is known regarding the identification of members, theevolutionary background, and functional characteristics of FABP genes in buffalo. In this study, in silico analysis was performed to identify the members of FABPs in buffalo. The results revealed that a total of 17 FABP genes were identified. Based on their phylogenetic relationships, these sequences clustered into five groups with similar motif patterns and gene structures. According to positive selection analyses, all duplicated gene pairs containing FABPs in buffalo had Ka/Ks (nonsynonymous/synonymous) ratios that wer
