Mitochondrial Genetic Variation in Chinese Pigs and Wild Boars

The mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) from 30 pig breeds (29 Chinese native breeds and 1 European breed) and wild boars were investigated for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to determine the phylogenetic relationships and genetic diversity among pig breeds and wild boars. Of the 24 enzymes used, 8 (AvaI, BclI, BglII, EcoRI, EcoRV, ScaI, StuI, and XbaI) detected polymorphisms. By combining the cleavage patterns for each enzyme, 108 individuals were sorted into eight mtDNA mitotypes. There are two haplotype lineages in domestic pigs, i.e., Chinese and European lineages. The pairwise nucleotide sequence divergence was calculated to be 0.56% between Chinese pigs and European pigs, suggesting that they might have diverged from a common ancestor approximately 280,000 years ago. The wild boars showed more extensive genetic variation, four mitotypes were detected in six wild boars. In addition, one of the Zhejiang wild boars was found to share the same mitotype with Chinese native pigs. A UPGMA tree based on genetic distance among mitotypes indicated that mtDNAs of Chinese pigs and European pigs are clearly divided into two clusters, and Chinese wild boars are more closely related to the Chinese pigs. Our results provide molecular evidence to support the previous hypothesis that pigs may be derived from two maternal origins, Asian and European wild boars. Chinese native pig breeds may have a single origin.     

Microsatellite and Mitochondrial Diversity Analysis of Native Pigs of Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot

Assessment of genetic diversity in indigenous animals is an important and essential task for animal genetic improvement studies as well as conservation decision-making. The genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships among geographically and phenotypically distinct three pig breeds/types native to Indo-Burma and Eastern Himalayan global biodiversity hotspots were determined by genotyping with a panel of 22 ISAG recommended microsatellite loci as well as sequencing partial MTRNR1gene. The mean number of alleles per locus, effective number of alleles and observed heterozygosity were found to be 11.27 ± 0.85, 5.29 ± 0.34, and 0.795 ± 0.01, respectively. The moderate F_ST value (0.115 ± 0.01) indicated a fair degree of genetic differentiation among the native breeds. The Nei’s unbiased genetic identity estimates indicated less genetic distance (0.2909) between Niang Megha and Tenyi Vo pigs than the both individually with Ghoongroo breed. The divergence time was also estimated from the microsatellite analysis. Analysis of MTRNR1gene revealed distinct clustering of native Indian pigs with Chinese pigs over European pigs. The study revealed the abundance of genetic variation within native Indian pigs and their relationships as well as genetic distances.     

Genetic Diversity of Chinese Native Pigs Inferred from Protein Electrophoresis

We examined protein polymorphism of 20 nativepig breeds in China and 3 introduced pig breeds. Thirtyloci have been investigated, among which six loci werefound to be polymorphic. Especially, the polymorphismof malate dehydrogenase (MDH), adenylate kinase(AK), and two new alleles of adenosine deaminase (ADA)had not been reported in domestic pigs and wild pigs.The percentage of polymorphic loci (P), the meanheterozygosity (H), and the mean number ofalleles (A) are 0.200, 0.065, and 1.300, respectively.The degree of genetic variability of Chinese pigs as awhole was higher than that of goats, lower than thatof cattle and horses, and similar to that ofsheep. Using the gene frequencies of the 30 loci, Nei'sgenetic distance among the 20 native breeds in China and3 introduced pig breeds was calculated by theformula of Nei. The program NEIGHBOR in PHYLIP3.5c was chosen to construct an UPGMA tree and a NJtree. Our results show that, of the total geneticvariation found in the native pig breeds in China, 31%(0.31) is ascribable to genetic differencesamong breeds. About 69% of the total genetic variationis found within breeds. Most breeds are in linkagedisequilibrium. The patterns of genetic similaritiesbetween the Chinese native pig breeds were notin agreement with the proposed pig type classification.     

Genetic Diversity Among Turkish Native Chickens, Denizli and Gerze, Estimated by Microsatellite Markers

The genetic diversity of the Turkish native chicken breeds Denizli and Gerze was evaluated with 10 microsatellite markers. We genotyped a total of 125 individuals from five subpopulations. Among loci, the mean number of alleles was 7.5, expected heterozygosity (H (e)) was 0.665, PIC value was 0.610, and Wright's fixation index was 0.301. H (e) was higher in the Denizli breed (0.656) than in the Gerze breed (0.475). The PIC values were 0.599 and 0.426 for Denizli and Gerze, respectively. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using genetic distance and the neighbor-joining method. Its topology reflects the general pattern of genetic differentiation among the Denizli and Gerze breeds. The present study suggests that Denizli and Gerze subpopulations have a rich genetic diversity. The information about Denizli and Gerze breeds estimated by microsatellite analysis may also be useful as an initial guide in defining objectives for designing future investigations of genetic variation and developing conservation strategies.

Temporal changes in genetic variation of north European cattle breeds

Temporal changes in genetic variation within and between 13 North European cattle breeds were evaluated using erythrocyte antigen systems and transferrin protein as genetic markers. Current data on allele frequency distributions of markers in large commercial and smaller endangered native cattle breeds were compared to data published during 1956 to 1975. Intrabreed genetic variation was quantified by conventional parameters (e.g. heterozygosity, average number of alleles per locus) and migration by the effective migration rate. The neighbour-joining dendrogram of relationships between old and present cattle populations was constructed using Nei's standard genetic distance. Variance effective population size was estimated from changes in allele frequencies over time. Comparison of old and new data indicated some significant changes in allele frequencies. In six of the breeds, a few low-frequency alleles in the old data were absent in the present samples. Heterozygosity remained stable in most breeds. The harmonic means for variance effective population size ranged between 30 and 257. Current results indicate that despite marked declines in total population sizes, North European native cattle breeds have retained a reasonably high genetic diversity. However, their genes contribute less than previously to genetic variation of Nordic production breeds. Commercial breeds do not appear to have a larger effective population size than native breeds. The present effective population sizes imply that Nordic breeds could have lost from 1 to 11% of their heterozygosity over a 20-40-year period.

Assessment of genetic diversity of Korean native pig (Sus scrofa) using AFLP markers

In order to assess the genetic diversity and genetic relationships among the six commercial pig breeds including the Korean native pig, we performed an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Applying the three EcoRI/TagI primer combinations to 54 individual pig samples out of six breeds, a total of 186 AFLP bands were generated, 67 (36%) of which were identified as polymorphic bands. From these polymorphic bands, the three estimates (percentage of polymorphic loci, Neis heterozygosity and Shannon index) of genetic diversity, G(ST) estimates, Neis unbiased genetic distance and two indices of genetic similarity were calculated. From all the calculations of genetic diversity, the lowest genetic diversity was exhibited in the Korean native pig, and the highest in the Chinese Yanbian pig. Given the mean G(ST) value (G(ST) = 0.390) across all pigs examined, levels of apparent breed subdivision were considerable. A UPGMA tree of individuals based on Jaccards similarity index showed that the Korean native pig formed a distinct cluster from the other five pigs. In addition, the tree displayed that all the individuals except for six individuals were grouped into their breeds. Principal component analysis based on the binary data matrix of either presence or absence confirmed the distinctness of the Korean native pig from the other pigs. Our results indicate that the Korean native pig has a low level of genetic diversity and is distinct from the five pig breeds, confirming the results from previous microsatellite data. The findings also suggest that AFLP analysis may be a valuable tool for revealing genetic relationships and genetic diversity among different pig breeds.     

The phylogeny of Chinese indigenous pig breeds inferred from microsatellite markers

A genetic study of 32 local Chinese, three foreign pig breeds [Duroc (DU), Landrace and Yorkshire], and two types of wild boar (Hainan and Dongbei wild boar) based on 34 microsatellite loci was carried out to clarify the phylogeny of Chinese indigenous pig breeds. The allele frequencies, effective numbers of alleles, and the average heterozygosity within populations were calculated. The results showed that the genetic variability of the Lingao pig was the largest, while the Jiaxing pig was the lowest. The greatest distance between domestic pigs was found between Shanggao and DU pig and the shortest was found between Wuzhishan and Lingao pig, respectively. A neighbour-joining tree constructed from Modified Cavalli-Sforza genetic distances divided Chinese pigs into two clusters; four subclusters were also identified. Our results only partly agree with the traditional types of classification and also provide a new relationship among Chinese local pig breeds. Our data also confirmed that Chinese pig breeds have a different origin from European/American breeds and can be utilized in programmes that aim to maintain Chinese indigenous pig breeds.     

Genetic diversity analysis of six Spanish native cattle breeds using microsatellites

Six native Spanish cattle breeds have been characterized by using 30 microsatellite markers. The studied populations can be divided into three groups: Brown orthoid (Asturian Mountain, Asturian Lowland and the Nord-west Brown Group), Red convex (Pyrenean and Menorquina) and the Iberian bovine (Fighting bull). Allele frequencies were calculated and used for the characterization of the breeds and the study of their genetic relationships. Different genetic distance measures were calculated and used for dendogram construction. The closest populations were those representing Asturian breeds, the most divergent being Menorquina and Fighting Bull. The latter also showed the lowest diversity values (mean number of alleles per locus and heterozygosity). Genetic distances obtained between the other populations under analysis were similar to those reported for different European cattle breeds. This work analyzes the recent origin of these populations and contributes to the knowledge and genetic characterization of European native breeds.
