Trait Analysis in Domestic Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus f. domesticus) Using SNP Markers from Genotyping-by-Sequencing Data.

ABSTRACT: The domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus f. domesticus) is a very important variety in biomedical research and agricultural animal breeding. Due to the different geographical areas in which rabbit breeds originated, and the long history of domestication/artificial breeding, rabbits have experienced strong selection pressure, which has shaped many traits of most rabbit varieties, such as color and weight. An efficient genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection strategy is genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), which has been widely used in many organisms. This study attempted to explore bi-allelic SNPs associated with fur color and weight-related traits using GBS in five rabbit breeds. The data consisted of a total 831,035 SNPs in 150 individuals from Californian rabbits (
