Project description:Copy number variations (CNVs) affect a wide range of phenotypic traits; however, CNVs in or near segmental duplication regions are often intractable. Using a read depth approach based on next-generation sequencing, we examined genome-wide copy number differences among five taurine (three Angus, one Holstein and one Hereford) and one indicine (Nelore) cattle. Within mapped chromosomal sequence, we identified 1,265 CNV regions comprising ~55.6 Mbp sequence-476 of which (~38%) have not previously been reported. We validated this sequence-based CNV call set with aCGH, qPCR and FISH, achieving a validation rate of 82% and a false positive rate of 8%. We further estimated absolute copy numbers for genomic segments and annotated genes in each individual. Surveys of the top 25 most variable genes revealed that the Nelore individual had the lowest copy numbers in 13 cases (~52%, chi squared test; p value <0.05). In contrast, genes related to pathogen- and parasite-resistance, such as CATHL4 and ULBP17, were highly duplicated in the Nelore individual relative to the taurine cattle, while genes involved in lipid transport and metabolism, including APOL3 and FABP2, were highly duplicated in the beef breeds. These CNV regions also harbor genes like BPIFA2A (BSP30A) and WC1, suggesting that some CNVs may be associated with breed-specific differences in adaptation, health, and production traits. By providing the first individualized cattle CNV and segmental duplication maps and genome-wide gene copy number estimates, we enable future CNV studies into highly duplicated regions in the cattle genome. 5 NimbleGen Bos Taurus UMD3 custom 2.1M whole genome high density aCGH

Project description:Background: African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) caused by tsetse fly-transmitted protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma is a major constraint on livestock and agricultural production in Africa and is among the top ten global cattle diseases impacting on the poor. Here we show that a functional genomics approach can be used to identify temporal changes in host peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression due to disease progression. We also show that major gene expression differences exist between cattle from trypanotolerant and trypanosusceptible breeds. Using bovine long oligonucleotide microarrays and real time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) validation we analysed PBMC gene expression in naïve trypanotolerant and trypanosusceptible cattle experimentally challenged with Trypanosoma congolense across a 34-day infection time course. Results: Trypanotolerant N’Dama cattle displayed a rapid and distinct transcriptional response to infection, with a ten-fold higher number of genes differentially expressed at day 14 post infection compared to trypanosusceptible Boran cattle. These analyses identified coordinated temporal gene expression changes for both breeds in responses to trypanosome infection. In addition, a panel of genes were identified that showed pronounced differences in gene expression between the two breeds, which may underlie the phenomena of trypanotolerance and trypanosusceptibility. Gene ontology (GO) analysis demonstrate that the products of these genes may contribute to increased mitochondrial mRNA translational efficiency, a more pronounced B cell response, an elevated activation status and a heightened response to stress in trypanotolerant cattle. Conclusions: This study has revealed an extensive and diverse range of cellular processes that are altered temporally in response to trypanosome infection in African cattle. Results indicate that the trypanotolerant N’Dama cattle respond more rapidly and with a greater magnitude to infection compared to the trypanosusceptible Boran cattle. Specifically, a subset of the genes analyzed by qRT-PCR, which display significant breed differences, could collectively contribute to the trypanotolerance trait in N’Dama.

Project description:The cattle industry is the largest of the agricultural commodities in the United States and generated over $101 billion in farm cash receipts during 2016; 28% of all US farm cash receipts. Although the sequence of the bovine reference genome has been publicly available since 2009, annotation of functional genome elements is largely incomplete, resulting in limitations for exploiting the genome to phenome relationship. This project generate high-quality detailed transcript and miRNA status datasets from a comprehensive set of bovine tissues, developmental stages, and cells through a set of rationally selected assays.

Project description:While genetic markers related to meat production traits have been identified in many other breeds of cattle, research on weight in Hanwoo cattle (Korean native cattle) has been relatively limited. In this study, we performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis and differential gene expression analysis to detect candidate genes influencing the weight characteristics of 32 castrated Hanwoo cattle across 22 tissues and identify variants that affect gene expression levels. In total, we identified a total of 2,465 differentially expressed genes, among which we discovered key genes such as UBD, RGS2, FASN, and SCD that have functions related to adipogenesis, body weight, obesity, and lipid metabolism. Gene-set enrichment analysis revealed that candidate genes in adipose tissue are involved in metabolic pathways related to Obesity-related traits, adipose metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Additionally, we found that decreased expression of TRIM31 contributes to weight gain which can be explained by the associated candidate cis-eQTL genotypes for TRIM31 and their effect on differential gene expression between the lower and higher weight groups. Our findings revealed candidate genes associated with the weight of Hanwoo cattle and perhaps can provide comprehensive insights into the association of weight with various tissues beyond adipose tissue and muscle, indicating the potential for expanding the focus of livestock trait research.

Project description:This project aimed to discover the protein-based biomarkers for tick resistance in cattle using cattle serum samples. The cattle were phenotyped into two groups, tick-resistant and susceptible after an artificial tick challenge. Mean tick scores were used to categorise cattle. The SWATH analysis was sued to measure the relative abundance of proteins in skin samples of the two groups at different time points.

Project description:Residual feed intake (RFI) as a measure of feed efficiency (FE) is an index that can help producers reduce costs by enabling the selection of more efficient and profitable cattle. However, the meat quality of these animals may be negatively impacted due to the lower subcutaneous fat deposition commonly observed in more efficient (low RFI) cattle. Traits such as tenderness, color, and juiciness may be affected by the reduced fat deposition, influencing consumers' purchasing decisions. Although low RFI cattle exhibit better FE in feedlot systems, few studies have described the molecular mechanisms regulating meat quality traits in these animals. Therefore, the objective of this project is to compare low RFI (efficient) and high RFI (inefficient) cattle finished in feedlots and to evaluate their meat quality in both physicochemical and molecular contexts. Comparing efficient and inefficient feedlot-finished cattle in terms of meat quality traits and identifying associations with the proteome of muscle tissue may contribute to a better understanding of the metabolic pathways that influence economically important characteristics in these animals.

Project description:This project aimed to characterise the immune response of cattle to buffalo fly infestation using cattle serum samples. The cattle were phenotyped into two groups, high buffalo fly burden and low buffalo fly burden cattle, following exposure to buffalo flies. The SWATH analysis was sued to measure the relative abundance of proteins in serum samples of the two groups at different time points.
