摘要: The runs of homozygosity (ROH) were identified in 14 Pakistani cattle breeds (n = 105) by genotyping with the Illumina 50 K SNP BeadChip. These breeds were categorized into Dairy, Dual, and Draft breeds based on their utility and production performance. We identified a total of 10,936 ROHs which mainly consisted of a high number of shorter segments (1-4 Mb). Dairy group exhibited the highest level of inbreeding (F-ROH: 0.078 +/- 0.028) while the lowest (F-ROH: 0.002 +/- 0.008) was observed in Dual group. In 48 genomic regions identified with a high frequency of ROH, 207 genes were detected in the three breed groups. A substantially higher number of ROH islands detected in dairy breeds indicated the impact of the positive selection pressure over the years. Important candidate genes and QTL were detected in the ROH islands associated with economic traits like milk production, reproduction, meat, carcass, and health traits in dairy cattle.
