Hanwoo, is the most popular native beef cattle in South Korea. Due to its extensive popularity, research is ongoing to enhance its carcass quality and marbling traits. In this study we conducted a haplotype-based genome-wide association study (GWAS) by constructing haplotype blocks by three methods: number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a haplotype block (nsnp), length of genomic region in kb (Len) and linkage disequilibrium (LD). Significant haplotype blocks and genes associated with them were identified for carcass traits such as BFT (back fat thickness), EMA (eye Muscle area), CWT (carcass weight) and MS (marbling score). Gene-set enrichment analysis and functional annotation of genes in the significantly-associated loci revealed candidate genes, including PLCB1 and PLCB4 present on BTA13, coding for phospholipases, which might be important candidates for increasing fat deposition due to their role in lipid metabolism and adipogenesis. CEL (carboxyl ester lipase), a bile-salt activated lipase, responsible for lipid catabolic process was also identified within the significantly-associated haplotype block on BTA11. The results were validated in a different Hanwoo population. The genes and pathways identified in this study may serve as good candidates for improving carcass traits in Hanwoo cattle.

Carcass meat yield is an important carcass trait that contributes to the production efficiency and economic benefits in beef cattle. It is therefore critical to identify quantitative trait loci associated with carcass traits to enable selection. Our previous studies have identified several causal variants within the pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 ( PLAG1) and coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain-containing 7 ( CHCHD7) genes on BTA14 for carcass traits in Chinese Simmental. In the current study, we carried out a genome-wide association study for carcass meat yield in 472 Wagyu cattle with Bovine HD SNP array. Our results showed that 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified for tenderloin weight (TDW), striploin weight (SPW), chuck roll weight (CRW), bicep weight (BPW), knuckle weight (KCW), and flank steak weight (FSW) in Wagyu cattle. Of these SNPs, 10 distinct SNPs were detected within the oxidation resistance 1 ( OXR1), fatty acid binding protein 5 ( FABP5), TNF receptor superfamily member 11b ( TNFRSF11B), and zinc finger CCCH-type containing 3 ( ZC3H3) genes on BTA14. Notably, three significant SNPs, BovineHD1400016738, BovineHD1400016743, and BovineHD1400016665 within OXR1, were shown strong linkage disequilibrium (r2 > 0.8) and significantly associated with CRW ( P = 1.37 × 10−8 ~ 1.94 × 10−8). Moreover, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis showed that OXR1, FABP5, and CAP1A genes were involved in a single network and FABP5 may regulate the expression of OXR1 gene via node gene, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ( PPARG). Overall, this study suggests that OXR1 and FABP5 are candidate genes affecting carcass traits in Wagyu and the PLAG1-OXR1 region on BTA14 as a putative susceptibility locus for carcass meat yield for both Chinese Simmental and Wagyu.

Abstract Chicken growth traits are economically important, but the relevant genetic mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. Herein, we performed a genome-wide association study to identify the variants associated with growth traits. In total, 860 chickens from a Gushi-Anka F2 resource population were phenotyped for 68 growth and carcass traits, and 768 samples were genotyped based on the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method. Finally, 734 chickens and 321,314 SNPs remained after quality control and removal of the sex chromosomes, and these data were used to carry out a GWAS analysis. A total of 470 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for 43 of the 68 traits were detected and mapped on chromosomes (Chr) 1–6, -9, -10, -16, -18, -23, and -27. Of these, the significant SNPs in Chr1, -4, and -27 were found to be associated with more than 10 traits. Multiple traits shared significant SNPs, indicating that the same mutation in the region might have a large effect on multiple growth or carcass traits. Haplotype analysis revealed that SNPs within the candidate region of Chr1 presented a mosaic pattern. The significant SNPs and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the MLNR, MED4, CAB39L, LDB2, and IGF2BP1 genes could be putative candidate genes for growth and carcass traits. The findings of this study improve our understanding of the genetic mechanisms regulating chicken growth and carcass traits and provide a theoretical basis for chicken breeding programs.

In genetic studies, quantitative traits are found possibly associated with genetic data. Due to advanced sequencing technology, many methods have been proposed in genome wide association study (GWAS) to search the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with the traits. Currently several methods that account for the evolutionary relatedness among individuals were developed. When comparing with conventional methods without evolutionary relatedness among individuals, tree based methods are found to have better performance when the population structure increases. In this work, we extend a couple of methods in previous studies by varying the magnitude of relatedness. The magnitude of relatedness of the evolutionary history is controlled by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process through its parameters. Our method combines a pertinent process and phylogenetic comparative method where the incorporated evolutionary history is built by SNP data. We perform simulation as well as analyze drosophila longevity data set.
