摘要： Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are a powerful tool to explore patterns of genomic inbreeding in animal populations and detect signatures of selection. The present study used ROH analysis to evaluate the genome-wide patterns of homozygosity, inbreeding levels, and distribution of ROH islands using the SNP data sets from 899 Mediterranean buffaloes. A total of 42,433 ROH segments were identified, with an average of 47.20 segments per individual. The ROH comprising mostly shorter segments (1-4 Mb) accounted for approximately 72.29% of all ROH. In contrast, the larger ROH (>8 Mb) class accounted for only 7.97% of all ROH segments. Estimated inbreeding coefficients from ROH (FROH) ranged from 0.0201 to 0.0371. Pearson correlations between FROH and genomic relationship matrix increased with the increase of ROH length. We identified ROH hotspots in 12 genomic regions, located on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 5, 17, and 19, harboring a total of 122 genes. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis revealed the clustering of these genes into 7 PPI networks. Many genes located in these regions were associated with different production traits. In addition, 5 ROH islands overlapped with cattle quantitative trait loci that were mainly associated with milk traits. These findings revealed the genome-wide autozygosity patterns and inbreeding levels in Mediterranean buffalo. Our study identified many candidate genes related to production traits that could be used to assist in selective breeding for genetic improvement of buffalo.
