The chicken lysozyme gene encodes a hydrolase that has a key role in defence, especially in ovo. This gene was resequenced in global chicken populations [red, grey, Ceylon and green jungle fowl (JF)] and related bird species. Networks, summary statistics and tests of neutrality indicate that although there is extensive variation at the gene, little is present at coding sites, with the exception of one non‐synonymous site. This segregating site and a further fixed non‐synonymous change between red JF and domestic chicken populations are spatially close to the catalytic sites of the enzyme and so might affect its activity. 相似文献

There have been significant evolutionary pressures on the chicken during both its speciation and its subsequent domestication
by man. Infectious diseases are expected to have exerted strong selective pressures during these processes. Consequently,
it is likely that genes associated with disease susceptibility or resistance have been subject to some form of selection.
Two genes involved in the immune response (interferon-γ and interleukin 1-β) were selected for sequencing in diverse chicken
populations from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Kenya, Senegal, Burkina Faso and Botswana, as well as six outgroup samples
(grey, green, red and Ceylon jungle fowl and grey francolin and bamboo partridge). Haplotype frequencies, tests of neutrality,
summary statistics, coalescent simulations and phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood were used to determine the population
genetic characteristics of the genes. Networks indicate that these chicken genes are most closely related to the red jungle
fowl. Interferon-γ had lower diversity and considerable coding sequence conservation, which is consistent with its function
as a key inflammatory cytokine of the immune response. In contrast, the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin 1-β had higher diversity
and showed signals of balancing selection moderated by recombination, yielding high numbers of diverse alleles, possibly reflecting
broader functionality and potential roles in more diseases in different environments.
