Project description:Identification of SNPs in alpacas using the Bovine HD Genotyping Beadchip is a project of SNP discovery in alpacas. The alpaca SNPs was discovered by genotyping forty alpaca DNA samples using BovineHD Genotyping Beadchip. The manuscript related to the project is "Evaluation of SNP Genotyping in alpacas using the Bovine HD Genotyping Beadchip".
Project description:GeneSeek HD Bovine 77k Genotyping array is used to estimate population structure and ancestry of bovine and evaluate loci responsible for complex traits. Further, copy number variation of bovine can be estimated by GeneSeek HD Bovine 77k Genotyping array. Here, we estimate population structure and ancestry of Qinchuan cattle.
Project description:Porcine 60K BeadChip genotyping arrays (Illumina) are increasingly being applied in pig genomics to validate SNPs identified by re-sequencing or assembly-versus-assembly method. Here we report that more than 98% SNPs identified from the porcine 60K BeadChip genotyping array (Illumina) were consistent with the SNPs identified from the assembly-based method. This result demonstrates that whole-genome de novo assembly is a reliable approach to deriving accurate maps of SNPs.
Project description:Crossbreeding has been an effective method to improve crossbred performance in pig industry. To have a global view of a classic three-way crossbreeding system of Duroc x (Landrace x Yorkshire) (DLY), we identified SNPs for each pig breed and crossbred individual originated from a DLY pig family to estimate the influence of purebreds on crossbred offspring using whole-genome sequencing. To confirm the accuracy of the SNPs identified by whole-genome sequencing, therefore, we performed the porcine 60K BeadChip genotyping array (Illumina) for each sequenced pig individual.
Project description:High density genotyping of 7 affected and 3 unaffected family members was performed using the Illumina Omni2.5-8 v1.3 BeadChip SNP.
Project description:Mear prodution is the most important trait for sheep. In this study, we performed a Genome-wide association study (GWAS) by using Illumina Ovine SNP50 BeadChip in 329 purebred sheep phenotyped for 11 growth and meat production traits (birth weight, weaning weight, 6-month weight, eye muscle area, fat thickness, pre-weaning gain, post-weaning gain, daily weight gain, height at withers , chest girth and shin circumference). A total of 319 sheep and 48,198 SNPs were fitted using TASSEL 3.0 software as random effects in a mixed linear model. 36 chromosome-wise significant SNPs were identified for 7 traits and 10 of them reached genome-wide significance level consistently for post-weaning gain. Gene annotation was implemented based on the latest version3.1 ovine genome sequence (released October 2012), and meanwhile we referenced genomic information of human, bovine, mouse and rat. More than one-third SNPs (14 out of 36) were located within ovine genes , some other were located close to ovine genes (878bp-398165bp apart).
Project description:Using Illumina® BovineHD Genotyping BeadChip assay, we applied single sperms genotyping from one single Holstein bull to preliminarily describe its recombination map. We received 56 single sperms with qualified genotype information and totally detected 1,526 autosomal crossovers.
