摘要: Copy number variation (CNV) is a crucial component of genetic diversity in the genome, serving as the foundation for the genetic architecture and phenotypic variability of complex traits. In this study, we examined CNVs in the Danzhou (DZ) chicken, an indigenous breed exclusive to Hainan Province, China. By employing whole-genome resequencing data from 200 DZ chickens, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of CNVs using CNVpytor and performed CNV-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on 6 body size traits, including body slope length (BSL), keel length (KeL), tibial length (TiL), tibial circumference (TiC), chest width (ChW), and chest depth (ChD) utilizing linear mixed model methods considering a genomic relationship matrix. We identified a total of 144,265 autosomal CNVs among the 200 individuals, comprising 67,818 deletions and 76,447 duplications. After merging these variants together, we obtained 4,824 distinct copy number variant regions, which accounted for approximately 20% of the chicken autosomal genome. Furthermore, we discovered several significantly associated CNV segments with body size traits located proximal to genes such as IHH, WNT6, WNT10A, LPR4, FZD2, WNT7B, , and GNAS that have been extensively implicated in skeletal development and growth processes. These findings enhance our understanding of CNVs in chickens and their potential impact on body size traits by revealing candidate genes involved in the regulation of these traits. This establishes a solid framework for future studies and may prove particularly beneficial for exploring genetic structural variation in chickens.
