Abstract Motivation Genomic DNA replicates according to a reproducible spatiotemporal program, with some loci replicating early in S phase while others replicate late. Despite being a central cellular process, DNA replication timing studies have been limited in scale due to technical challenges. Results We present TIGER (Timing Inferred from Genome Replication), a computational approach for extracting DNA replication timing information from whole genome sequence data obtained from proliferating cell samples. The presence of replicating cells in a biological specimen leads to non-uniform representation of genomic DNA that depends on the timing of replication of different genomic loci. Replication dynamics can hence be observed in genome sequence data by analyzing DNA copy number along chromosomes while accounting for other sources of sequence coverage variation. TIGER is applicable to any species with a contiguous genome assembly and rivals the quality of experimental measurements of DNA replication timing. It provides a straightforward approach for measuring replication timing and can readily be applied at scale. Availability and Implementation TIGER is available at https://github.com/TheKorenLab/TIGER. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online

Abstract In this study, we detected genome wide footprints of selection in Hanwoo and Angus beef cattle using different allele frequency and haplotype-based methods based on imputed whole genome sequence data. Our dataset included 13,202 Angus and 10,437 Hanwoo animals with 10,057,633 and 13,241,550 imputed SNPs, respectively. A subset of data with 6,873,624 common SNPs between the two populations was used to estimate signatures of selection parameters, both within (runs of homozygosity and extended haplotype homozygosity) and between (allele fixation index, extended haplotype homozygosity) the breeds in order to infer evidence of selection. We observed that correlations between various measures of selection ranged between 0.01 to 0.42. Assuming these parameters were complementary to each other, we combined them into a composite selection signal to identify regions under selection in both beef breeds. The composite signal was based on the average of fractional ranks of individual selection measures for every SNP. We identified some selection signatures that were common between the breeds while others were independent. We also observed that more genomic regions were selected in Angus as compared to Hanwoo. Candidate genes within significant genomic regions may help explain mechanisms of adaptation, domestication history and loci for important traits in Angus and Hanwoo cattle. In the future, we will use the top SNPs under selection for genomic prediction of carcass traits in both breeds.

Lactation persistency and milk production are among the most economically important traits in the dairy industry. In this study, we explored the association of over 6.1 million imputed whole-genome sequence variants with lactation persistency (LP), milk yield (MILK), fat yield (FAT), fat percentage (FAT%), protein yield (PROT), and protein percentage (PROT%) in North American Holstein cattle. We identified 49, 3991, 2607, 4459, 805, and 5519 SNPs significantly associated with LP, MILK, FAT, FAT%, PROT, and PROT%, respectively. Various known associations were confirmed while several novel candidate genes were also revealed, including ARHGAP35, NPAS1, TMEM160, ZC3H4, SAE1, ZMIZ1, PPIF, LDB2, ABI3, SERPINB6, and SERPINB9 for LP; NIM1K, ZNF131, GABRG1, GABRA2, DCHS1, and SPIDR for MILK; NR6A1, OLFML2A, EXT2, POLD1, GOT1, and ETV6 for FAT; DPP6, LRRC26, and the KCN gene family for FAT%; CDC14A, RTCA, HSTN, and ODAM for PROT; and HERC3, HERC5, LALBA, CCL28, and NEURL1 for PROT%. Most of these genes are involved in relevant gene ontology (GO) terms such as fatty acid homeostasis, transporter regulator activity, response to progesterone and estradiol, response to steroid hormones, and lactation. The significant genomic regions found contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms related to LP and milk production in North American Holstein cattle.
