摘要： Background The crossbreeding of specialized beef cattle breeds with Chinese indigenous cattle is a common method of genetic improvement. Xia'nan cattle, a crossbreed of Charolais and Nanyang cattle, is China's first specialized beef cattle breed with independent intellectual property rights. After more than two decades of selective breeding, Xia'nan cattle exhibit a robust physique, good environmental adaptability, good tolerance to coarse feed, and high meat production rates. This study analyzed the population genetic structure, genetic diversity, and genomic variations of Xia'nan cattle using whole-genome sequencing data from 30 Xia'nan cattle and 178 published cattle genomic data.Result The ancestry estimating composition analysis showed that the ancestry proportions for Xia'nan cattle were mainly Charolais with a small amount of Nanyang cattle. Through the genetic diversity studies (nucleotide diversity and linkage disequilibrium decay), we found that the genomic diversity of Xia'nan cattle is higher than that of specialized beef cattle breeds in Europe but lower than that of Chinese native cattle. Then, we used four methods to detect genome candidate regions influencing the excellent traits of Xia'nan cattle. Among the detected results, 42 genes (theta pi and CLR) and 131 genes (F ST and XP-EHH) were detected by two different detection strategies. In addition, we found a region in BTA8 with strong selection signals. Finally, we conducted functional annotation on the detected genes and found that these genes may influence body development (NR6A1), meat quality traits (MCCC1), growth traits (WSCD1, TMEM68, MFN1, NCKAP5), and immunity (IL11RA, CNTFR, CCL27, SLAMF1, SLAMF7, NAA35, and GOLM1).Conclusion We elucidated the genomic features and population structure of Xia'nan cattle and detected some selection signals in genomic regions potentially associated with crucial economic traits in Xia'nan cattle. This research provided a basis for further breeding improvements in Xia'nan cattle and served as a reference for genetic enhancements in other crossbreed cattle.
