Microsatellite analysis revealed genetic diversity and population structure among Chinese cashmere goats

Most cashmere goats are found in northern China and Mongolia. They are regarded as precious resources for their production of high quality natural fibre for the textile industry. It was the first time that the genetic diversity and population structure of nine Chinese cashmere populations has been assessed using 14 ISAG/FAO microsatellite markers. In addition, two Iranian populations and one West African goat population were genotyped for comparison. Results indicated that the genetic diversity of Chinese cashmere goats was rich, but less than those of the Iranian goat populations. All pairwise F_ST values between the Chinese cashmere goat populations reached a highly significant level (P < 0.001), suggesting that they should all be considered as separate breeds. Finally, clustering analysis divided Chinese cashmere goats into at least two clusters, with the Tibetan Hegu goats alone in one cluster. An extensive admixture was detected among the Chinese goat breeds (except the Hegu), which have important implications for breeding management.

Genetic Structure of Chinese Indigenous Goats and the Special Geographical Structure in the Southwest China as a Geographic Barrier Driving the Fragmentation of a Large Population

Background

China has numerous native domestic goat breeds, however, extensive studies are focused on the genetic diversity within the fewer breeds and limited regions, the population demograogic history and origin of Chinese goats are still unclear. The roles of geographical structure have not been analyzed in Chinese goat domestic process. In this study, the genetic relationships of Chinese indigenous goat populations were evaluated using 30 microsatellite markers.

Methodology/Principal Findings

Forty Chinese indigenous populations containing 2078 goats were sampled from different geographic regions of China. Moderate genetic diversity at the population level (H_S of 0.644) and high population diversity at the species level (H_T value of 0.737) were estimated. Significant moderate population differentiation was detected (F_ST value of 0.129). Significant excess homozygosity (F_IS of 0.105) and recent population bottlenecks were detected in thirty-six populations. Neighbour-joining tree, principal components analysis and Bayesian clusters all revealed that Chinese goat populations could be subdivided into at least four genetic clusters: Southwest China, South China, Northwest China and East China. It was observed that the genetic diversity of Northern China goats was highest among these clusters. The results here suggested that the goat populations in Southwest China might be the earliest domestic goats in China.

Conclusions/Significance

Our results suggested that the current genetic structure of Chinese goats were resulted from the special geographical structure, especially in the Western China, and the Western goat populations had been separated by the geographic structure (Hengduan Mountains and Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River Line) into two clusters: the Southwest and Northwest. It also indicated that the current genetic structure was caused by the geographical origin mainly, in close accordance with the human’s migration history throughout China. This study provides a fundamental genetic profile for the conservation of these populations and better to understand the domestication process and origin of Chinese goats.     

Genetic Variations of 13 Indigenous Chinese Goat Breeds Based on Cytochrome b Gene Sequences

Phylogenetic relationships among and genetic variability within 13 Chinese indigenous goat breeds and Boer goat were analyzed using cytochrome b gene sequences. There were 44 variable sites found in a 642 bp sequence, and 46 Cyt b haplotypes were subsequently defined. The phylogeny analysis of haplotypes in combination with goat Cyt b sequences from GenBank shows that Chinese goats are obviously separated from wild goats and might come from Capra aegagrus. Further analysis indicated that indigenous Chinese goats might descend from at least two lineages; most of the individuals analyzed could be classified into lineage A as defined by Luikart, but five other goats were of uncertain lineage. The Tibet plateau is a possible place of origin for Chinese goats. The neighbor-joining tree based on pairwise differences among populations shows that most Tibetan goats, except the Middle Tibet type, cluster closely with North China goats, and then with South China goats. This result confirms that differences in genetic structure exist among goats in different geographic locations. Nucleotide diversity varied among populations. Tibet and North China goats had higher genetic diversity than South China goats. The fixation index (F _st=87.72%) suggested that most of the total genetic variation was due to variation within populations. In addition, the results indicate that Cyt b gene sequence information alone might not be enough for phylogeny analysis among breeds within species, as shown by fewer polymorphic sites and lower bootstrap values on the neighbor-joining tree.     

Genetic relationships among twelve Chinese indigenous goat populations based on microsatellite analysis

Twelve Chinese indigenous goat populations were genotyped for twenty-six microsatellite markers recommended by the EU Sheep and Goat Biodiversity Project. A total of 452 goats were tested. Seventeen of the 26 microsatellite markers used in this analysis had four or more alleles. The mean expected heterozygosity and the mean observed heterozygosity for the population varied from 0.611 to 0.784 and 0.602 to 0.783 respectively. The mean F_ST (0.105) demonstrated that about 89.5% of the total genetic variation was due to the genetic differentiation within each population. A phylogenetic tree based on the Nei (1978) standard genetic distance displayed a remarkable degree of consistency with their different geographical origins and their presumed migration throughout China. The correspondence analysis did not only distinguish population groups, but also confirmed the above results, classifying the important populations contributing to diversity. Additionally, some specific alleles were shown to be important in the construction of the population structure. The study analyzed the recent origins of these populations and contributed to the knowledge and genetic characterization of Chinese indigenous goat populations. In addition, the seventeen microsatellites recommended by the EU Sheep and Goat Biodiversity Project proved to be useful for the biodiversity studies in goat breeds.     

SNP identification and analysis in part of intron 2 of goat MSTN gene and variation within and among species

Part of intron 2 of the myostatin (MSTN) gene of 140 goats from 24 populations and 38 sheep from 8 breeds were sequenced, and similar sequences of different species from Gene bank were also obtained to study MSTN diversity within and among species. The results indicated that there were seven polymorphic sites in the sequenced region of goat, which have not been separated by recombination (or recurrent mutation), presented complete linkage disequilibrium, and could be sorted into three haplotypes. There was no polymorphic site in the sequenced region of sheep. The haplotype diversity, nucleotide diversity, and average number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences of goats from the South group are higher than those of North group, and the corresponding value of the Foreign group is also higher than that of Chinese. The genetic differentiation (0.7558) between the Foreign and Chinese group is significant. There are two main haplotypes of the MSTN intron 2 in the goat, which may represent two ancestral types, in support of the theory that domestic goats in the world mainly originated from two ancestors based on morphology, history, archaeology, and molecular markers. The sequence differences of the MSTN intron 2 among species are greater than those within species.     

Genetic diversity and relationships of 10 Chinese goat breeds in the Middle and Western China

The genetic variability and relationships among 10 Chinese goat breeds (Shannan white goat, Shanbei white cashmere goat, Funiu goat, Huanghuai goat, Taihang goat, Guanzhong dairy goat, Xinong Saanen goat, Zhongwei goat, Tibetan goat and Inner Mongolia cashmere goat) were studied using 20 microsatellite markers. The mean heterozygosity and the mean polymorphism information content (PIC) for the 10 goat breeds varied from 0.7612 to 0.8390 and 0.7293 to 0.8181, respectively. Huanghuai goat demonstrated the highest genetic variability, and Tibetan goat showed the lowest. G_ST index was 0.052. A unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) diagram obtained based on Nei standard genetic distance displayed some degree of consistency with their geographical locations and production.     

Cross-species amplification of Bovidae microsatellites and low diversity of the endangered Korean goral

The Korean goral (Nemorhaedus caudatus) is an endangered species of wild goat. The conservation and management of this species could benefit from a better understanding of its genetic diversity and structure. Cross-species amplification of 34 Bovidae microsatellite loci was tested on a panel of 6 Korean gorals and 10 domestic goats. After polymerase chain reaction (PCR) optimization, 29 (85.3%) microsatellite loci amplified successfully for the Korean gorals and 27 (79.4%) for the domestic goats. Of the amplified products, 16 (55.2%) were polymorphic in the Korean goral and 22 (81.5%) in domestic goats. Nei's unbiased mean heterozygosity and mean allele number per locus were, respectively, 0.356 and 2.6 in the Korean goral and 0.636 and 4.8 in domestic goats. Low genetic diversity in the Korean gorals observed in this preliminary microsatellite survey suggests an urgent need for further detailed study of genetic diversity in Korean goral populations and a population management strategy based on these studies. Current results of cross-species amplification of domestic Bovidae microsatellites could be employed for the necessary population genetic studies on the Korean goral and other endangered Caprinae species.
