On pig chromosome 6, the SW71 microsatellite is located in the region corresponding to several quantitative trait loci (QTL), such as those for intramuscular fat content and for body weight at 4 weeks of age. The genomic sequence of approximately 909 kb was obtained from seven BAC clones encompassing the SW71 region corresponding to human 18q11.21-q11.22. By searching the NCBI GenBank using BLASTX and BLASTN, this 909-kb segment was found to contain eight genes, RAB31, TXNDC2, VAPA, APCDD1, NAPG, FAM38B, C18orf30, and C18orf58, and one putative gene (DN119777). The average G + C content in the sequence of this contig was 45.75% and 33 CpG islands were detected. CpG islands were scattered throughout the region in which most of the putative genes were located. Dense CpG islands of approximately 840 bp were observed, including within the 5' UTR and exon 1 of the orthologs of the RAB31, VAPA, APCDD1, and NAPG genes. Comparative analysis of conserved segments of six species showed that K(a)/K(s) ratios of the TXNDC2 gene in collinear and rearranged segments were significantly different at 4.1 and 1.3, respectively. In conclusion, we demonstrated the genomic organization of pig chromosome 6, including the gene order surrounding SW71, which provides important information for comparative mapping. Moreover, the genes revealed in this study may be positional candidate genes associated with QTL on chromosome 6 that affect fat deposition in pigs. 相似文献

Confirming single nucleotide polymorphisms from expressed sequence tag datasets derived from three cattle cDNA libraries 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Using the Phred/Phrap/Polyphred/Consed pipeline established in the National Livestock Research Institute of Korea, we predicted candidate coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (cSNPs) from 7,600 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) derived from three cDNA libraries (liver, M. longissimus dorsi, and intermuscular fat) of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) steers. From the 7,600 ESTs, 829 contigs comprising more than two EST reads were assembled using the Phrap assembler. Based on the contig analysis, 201 candidate cSNPs were identified in 129 contigs, in which transitions (69%) outnumbered transversions (31%). To verify whether the predicted cSNPs are real, 17 SNPs involved in lipid and energy metabolism were selected from the ESTs. Twelve of these were confirmed to be real while five were identified as artifacts, possibly due to expressed sequence tag sequence error. Further analysis of the 12 verified cSNPs was performed using the program BLASTX. Five were identified as nonsynonymous cSNPs, five were synonymous cSNPs, and two SNPs were located in 3'-UTRs. Our data indicated that a relatively high SNP prediction rate (71%) from a large EST database could produce abundant cSNPs rapidly, which can be used as valuable genetic markers in cattle. 相似文献

Identification of genetic polymorphisms in FABP3 and FABP4 and putative association with back fat thickness in Korean native cattle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The aim of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the beef cattle adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein 3 and 4 (FABP3 and FABP4) genes are associated with carcass weight (CW) and back fat thickness (BF) of beef cattle. By direct DNA sequencing in 24 unrelated Korean native cattle, we identified 20 SNPs in FABP3 and FABP4. Among them, 10 polymorphic sites were selected for genotyping in our beef cattle. We performed SNP, haplotype and linkage disequilibrium studies on 419 Korean native cattle with the 10 SNPs in the FABP genes. Statistical analysis revealed that 220AG (I74V) and 348+303TC polymorphisms in FABP4 showed putative associations with BF traits (P=0.02 and 0.01, respectively). Our findings suggest that the polymorphisms in FABP4 may play a role in determining one of the important genetic factors that influence BF in beef cattle. 相似文献
