Genetic relationships of the Yucatan black hairless pig with Iberian breeds using single nucleotide polymorfisms

Para realizar programas de conservação ex-situ de suínos crioulos, é importante determinar quais animais serão criados, preferencialmente aqueles com maior componente de genética ibérica, para preservar sua origem. Uma subpopulação de porco preto calvo de Yucatán (YBHP) foi usada para estimar sua diversidade genética e estrutura populacional. Um total de 104 suínos adultos foram selecionados levando-se em consideração características como ausência de pelos, pele preta (sem manchas), casco preto e focinho reto. O painel GGP-50K foi utilizado para a genotipagem dos SNPs em animais YBHP, e informações de porcos sem pelos ibéricos e de Yucatán dos Estados Unidos (USYU) foram retiradas de bancos de dados. Todas as análises foram realizadas com o software PLINK v1.9 e v2.1. Os valores dos índices de endogamia e fixação foram menores em YBHP, com altos valores de índice de heterozigosidade e alogamia observados, que concordam com os obtidos nas populações de Canárias e Chato Murciano. De acordo com os clusters gerados pela análise “GenomaWide Identity By State”, quatro grupos foram identificados, um dos quais incluiu porcos de Guadyerbas, USYU e YBHP. Entre as populações, YBHP estava intimamente relacionado com os porcos sem pelo de Guadyerbas, USYU e Canárias. A análise de componentes principais mostrou o mesmo resultado. De acordo com os resultados obtidos nas corridas de investigação de homozigose, visando obter consenso de pools de regiões de sobreposição, foram identificados 119 SNPs associados a genes e processos biológicos. Os genes BMP7 e NSUN2 foram associados à diferenciação de células epiteliais, morfogênese e desenvolvimento epitelial. Para metabolismo de nutrientes: energia, os genes HADHA, PPARA, ADD1/ SREBF1 e FAT1 foram identificados.  To conduct ex-situ creole pig conservation programs, it is essential to determine which breeding animals will be used, preferentially those with a more significant Iberian genetic component to preserve their origin. This study used a Yucatan black hairless pigs (YBHP) subpopulation to estimate its genetic diversity and population structure. One hundred four adult pigs were selected for the absence of hair, black skin (without spots), black hoof, and straight snout. The porcine-GGP-50K chip was used for SNP genotyping in YBHP, and information on Iberian and Yucatán hairless pigs from the United States (USYU) was taken from databases. All analysis was performed using PLINK v1.9 and v2.1 software. Inbreeding and fixation index values were lower in YBHP, with high observed heterozygosity and allogamy index values, which agree with those obtained in the populations of Canarias and Chato Murciano. According to the clusters generated by the “Genome-Wide Identity by State” analysis, four groups were identified, one of which included pigs from Guadyerbas, USYU, and YBHP. Between populations, YBHP was closely related to the hairless pigs from Guadyerbas, USYU, and Canarias. Principal component analysis showed the same result. According to the results obtained from the runs of homozygosity investigation, aimed to get pools consensus of regions of overlapping, 119 SNPs associated with genes and biological processes were identified. The BMP7 and NSUN2 genes were associated with epithelial cell differentiation, morphogenesis, and epithelial development. For nutrient metabolism: energy, the HADHA, PPARA, ADD1/SREBF1, and FAT1genes were identified

Diversidad genética y estructura poblacional del cerdo negro lampiño de Yucatán usando chip SNP50

In the present study, the Population structure and genetic diversity of 104 Yucatan black hairless pigs (YBH) and eight Duroc breeds were characterized BY using an SNP50K chip. The population structure was obtained, as well as the calculation of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Minor Allele Frequency (MAF), heterozygosity observed (oH), Relationship (F), Fixation index of individuals within subpopulations (Fis), the t (outcrossing rate or alogamia index) was made, also the association analysis to identify SNP with population differences. The genetic component of Duroc in YBH subpopulations is low, from 0.00363 to 0.03532, THUS, IT WAS OBSERVED (appreciating) a subpopulation with greater genetic diversity and lower values of F and Fis, as well as higher oH and t. SNPs were identified (p<1.213E-50 to p< 6.4E-20), associated with genes and biological processes. Genes EHF, DST, PDE8A, FOXA1 y VCL are related to epithelial cell differentiation, morphogenesis, and development of epithelium. 30 SNPs are related to nutrient metabolism, 23 SNPs to nutrient transport, 11 SNPs to Immunity, 10 SNPs to muscle, skeletal and embryonic, and 7 SNPs to synapses and receptors. YBH is distant from Duroc with different population structure and genetic diversity, also with different genes that involve important biological processesLa estructura poblacional y diversidad genética de 104 cerdos negros lampiños de Yucatán (NLY) y ocho de raza Duroc fueron caracterizados usando un chip SNP50K. Se obtuvo la estructura poblacional, se calculó un análisis de componentes principales (ACP), menor alelo frecuencia (MAF), Heterocigosidad observada (Ho), Consanguinidad (F), Índice de Fijación de individuos en subpoblaciones (Fis), índice de alogamia (t) y análisis de asociación para identificar SNP diferentes entre poblaciones. Según el análisis Admixture la población NLY se estructura en tres subpoblaciones. El componente genético de Duroc en subpoblaciones NLY es bajo de 0.0036 a 0.0353, apreciándose una subpoblación con mayor diversidad genética, con valores más bajos de F, Fis y mayor Ho y t. Se identificaron SNP (p<1.21E-50 a p< 6.4E-20), asociados con genes y procesos biológicos. Genes EHF, DST, PDE8A, FOXA1 y VCL relacionados con la diferenciación de células epiteliales, la morfogénesis y desarrollo del epitelio. Otros 30 SNPs relacionados con el metabolismo de nutrientes, 23 SNPs en transporte de nutrientes, 11 SNPs a inmunidad, 10 SNPs a músculo, esqueleto y embrionario, y siete SNPs a sinapsis y receptores. NLY está distante de Duroc con diferente estructura poblacional y diversidad genética, con diferentes genes que implican procesos biológicos importante
