摘要: Simple Summary According to the tail types, sheep can be briefly classified into three groups (fat-tailed, fat-rumped, and thin-tailed sheep). In this study, we used these three typical breeds from Chinese indigenous sheep breeds to perform a genome scan for selective sweeps using Ovine Infinium HD SNP BeadChip genotype data. Results showed that 25 genomic regions exhibited selection signals and harbored 73 positional candidate genes. These genes were documented not only to be associated with tail fat formation, but also be related to reproduction, body conformation, and appearance. Our findings contributed to understanding genetic basis of fat deposition in sheep tail and provide a reference for developing new sheep breeds with an ideal tail type. Abstract It is a unique feature that fat can be deposited in sheep tails and rumps. To elucidate the genetic mechanism underlying this trait, we collected 120 individuals from three Chinese indigenous sheep breeds with extreme tail types, namely large fat-tailed sheep (n = 40), Altay sheep (n = 40), and Tibetan sheep (n = 40), and genotyped them using the Ovine Infinium HD SNP BeadChip. Then genomic scan for selection signatures was performed using the hapFLK. In total, we identified 25 genomic regions exhibiting evidence of having been under selection. Bioinformatic analysis of the genomic regions showed that selection signatures related to multiple candidate genes had a demonstrated role in phenotypic variation. Nine genes have documented association with sheep tail types, including WDR92, TBX12, WARS2, BMP2, VEGFA, PDGFD, HOXA10, ALX4, and ETAA1. Moreover, a number of genes were of particular interest, including RXFP2 associated with the presence/absence and morphology of horns; MITF involved in coat color; LIN52 and SYNDIG1L related to the number of teats; MSRB3 gene associated with ear sizes; LTBP2 considered as a positional candidate genes for number of ribs; JAZF1 regulating lipid metabolism; PGRMC2, SPAG17, TSHR, GTF2A1, and LARP1B implicated with reproductive traits. Our findings provide insights into fat tail formation and a reference for carrying out molecular breeding and conservation in sheep.
