摘要： The assessment of animal genetic structure had significant importance for the preservation and breeding of animal germplasm resources. Selection signals are genotype markers generated during the process of biological evolution, and the detection of selection signals could reveal the direction of species evolution. The aim of this study was to generate a whole-genome resequencing data from Jinding duck, Shanma duck, Youxian Partridge duck, and Taiwan Brown tsaiya duck to reveal their population structure and selection signals. The population structure analysis revealed significant genetic differences among the 4 indigenous laying ducks, indicating their independent lineage. Specifically, Shanma duck and Youxian partridge duck were closely and likely originated from a common ancestor. In addition, selection sweep analysis was performed using the population genetic differentiation coefficient (Fst) and nucleotide diversity ratio (p ratio). The top 5% was used as the threshold for the Fst and p ratio, and the 2 thresholds were combined to identify selected genomic regions. In the selected regions of the 3 comparison groups, 136, 143, and 268 candidate genes were detected. Further screening of all candidate genes revealed that 35 candidate genes appeared simultaneously in 3 comparative groups, with 16 genes annotated. The 16 genes were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. The results revealed 5 functional genes (AQP3, PIK3C3, NOL6, RPP25, and DCTN3) that may be related to important economic traits in laying ducks and involved mainly invasopressin-regulated water reabsorption, ribosome biogenesis, and the PI3K signaling pathway. The results provide insights into the protection and exploitation of genetic resources of Chinese indigenous laying ducks.
