摘要： The Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is a waterfowl indigenous to the neotropical regions of Central and South America. It has low demand for concentrated feed and strong adaptability to different rearing conditions. After introduced to China through Eurasian commercial trade, Muscovy ducks have a domestication history of around 300 years in the Fujian Province of China. In the 1990s, the commodity Muscovy duck breed "Crimo," cultivated in Europe, entered the Chinese market for consumption and breeding purposes. Due to the different selective breeding processes, Muscovy ducks have various populational traits and lack transparency of their genetic background. To remove this burden in the Muscovy duck breeding process, we analyzed genomic data from 8 populations totaling 83 individuals. We identify 11.24 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and categorized these individuals into the Fujian-bred and the Crimo populations according to phylogenetic analyses. We then delved deeper into their evolutionary relationships through assessing population structure, calculating fixation index (FST) values, and measuring genetic distances. Our exploration of runs of homozygosity (ROHs) and homozygous-by-descent (HBD) uncovered genomic regions enriched for genes implicated in fatty acid metabolism, development, and immunity pathways. Selective sweep analyses further indicated strong selective pressures exerted on genes including TECR, STAT2, and TRAF5. These findings provide insights into genetic variations of Muscovy ducks, thus offering valuable information regarding genetic diversity, population conservation, and genome associated with the breeding of Muscovy ducks.
