RESUMO

Mexican Coreño Creole cattle are an important genetic resource adapted to local environmental conditions, so the study of their genetic diversity is essential to know their status and implement conservation programs and their use for crossbreeding. This study evaluated the genetic diversity of heat stress tolerance characteristics of Coreño Creole cattle, and a gene ontology enrichment was performed to know the biological processes in which candidate genes are involved. A total of 48 samples from three localities of Nayarit were genotyped using 777 K Illumina BovineHD BeadChip and 34 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with candidate genes were selected. Genetic diversity was analyzed using allelic frequencies, expected heterozygosity (He), and Wright's fixation index (FST) using PLINK v1.9 software. Candidate genes were uploaded to the open-source GOnet for pathway analysis and linkage to biological processes. Coreño Creole cattle showed low genetic diversity (He = 0.35), the average FST obtained was 0.044, and only eight markers had allele frequencies higher than 0.80 in the three locations. We found that the genes GOT1 and NCAD are related in the biological processes of stress response, cell differentiation, and homeostatic process. The results revealed that Coreño Creole cattle have low genetic diversity; this could be due to the isolation of these populations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transmembrane protein 95 (TMEM95) plays a role in male fertility. Previous studies showed that genes with a significant impact on reproductive traits can also affect the growth traits of livestock. Thus, we speculated that the genetic variation of TMEM95 gene may have effects on growth traits of cattle. RESULTS: Two SNPs were genotyped. The rs136174626 and rs41904693 were in the intron 4 and 30 -untranslated region, respectively. The linkage disequilibrium analysis illustrated that these two loci were not linked. The rs136174626 was associated with six growth traits of Nanyang cattle, four traits of Luxi cattle, and three traits of Ji'an cattle. For rs41904693 locus, the GG individuals had greater body height and abdominal girth in Ji' an cattle than TT and TG individuals. In Jinnan cattle, GG and TT individuals had greater body height, height at hip cross, body length, and heart girth than TG individuals. The potential splice site prediction results suggest that the rs136174626 may influence the splicing efficiency of TMEM95, and the miRNA binding site prediction results showed that the rs41904693 may influence the expression of TMEM95 by affecting the binding efficiency of Bta-miR-1584 and TMEM95 30 -UTR. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the study suggested that the two SNPs in TMEM95 could be a reliable basis for molecular breeding in cattle.

RESUMO

Fruit weight (FW) and shelf life (SL) are important traits in commercial fresh market tomatoes. A tomato RIL population was developed by antagonistic and divergent selection for both traits from an interspecific cross between the Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. "Caimanta" and the S. pimpinellifolium L. accession "LA0722". The objective of this work was to evaluate phenotypic and genetic components for FW and SL. Phenotypic data from RILs were collected during 3-year trials. Sixteen SSR, 62 InDels developed based on the genome sequences of "Caimanta" and "LA0722", and four functional markers for fruit size genes were used. FW and SL had a significant genetic variability, and both traits showed a genotype by year interaction. Genome-wide molecular characterization of the population demonstrated that is genetically structured according to FW. Marker data was used to study changes on allelic frequencies at loci between the phenotypic extreme group of RILs for FW and SL. Twenty four markers were associated to FW, the LC gene in chromosome 2 and other six markers in chromosomes 1, 2, 6, and 11 presented the most significant associations. Finally, we reported three new genomic regions located on chromosomes 9, 10 and 12 that underlie SL in tomato.

RESUMO

Objective : The Brazilian population has heterogeneous ethnicity. No previous study evaluated NR3C1 polymorphisms in a Brazilian healthy population. Materials and methods : We assessed NR3C1 polymorphisms in Brazilians of Caucasian, African and Asian ancestry (n = 380). In a subgroup (n = 40), we compared the genotypes to glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity, which was previously evaluated by plasma (PF) and salivary (SF) cortisol after dexamethasone (DEX) suppression tests, GC receptor binding affinity (K d ), and DEX-50% inhibition (IC 50 ) of concanavalin-A-stimulated mononuclear cell proliferation. p.N363S (rs6195), p.ER22/23EK (rs6189-6190), and BclI (rs41423247) allelic discrimination was performed by Real-Time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Exons 3 to 9 and exon/intron boundaries were amplified by PCR and sequenced. Results : Genotypic frequencies (%) were: rs6195 (n = 380; AA:96.6/AG:3.14/GG:0.26), rs6189-6190 (n = 264; GG:99.6/GA:0.4), rs41423247 (n = 264; CC:57.9/CG:34.1/GG:8.0), rs6188 (n = 155; GG:69.6/GT:25.7/TT:4.7), rs258751 (n = 150; CC:88.0/CT:10.7/TT:1.3), rs6196 (n = 176; TT:77.2/TC:20.4/CC:2.4), rs67300719 (n = 137; CC:99.3/CT:0.7), and rs72542757 (n = 137; CC:99.3/CG:0.7). The rs67300719 and rs72542757 were found only in Asian descendants, in whom p.N363S and p.ER22/23EK were absent. The p.ER22/23EK was observed exclusively in Caucasian descendants. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed, except in the Asian for rs6188 and rs258751, and in the African for p.N363S. The K d , IC 50 , baseline and after DEX PF or SF did not differ between genotype groups. However, the mean DEX dose that suppressed PF or SF differed among the BclI genotypes (P = 0.03). DEX dose was higher in GG- (0.7 ± 0.2 mg) compared to GC- (0.47 ± 0.2 mg) and CC-carriers (0.47 ± 0.1 mg). Conclusion : The genotypic frequencies of NR3C1 polymorphisms in Brazilians are similar to worldwide populations. Additionally, the BclI polymorphism ...


Objetivo : Este estudo avalia polimorfismos (SNPs) do NR3C1 na população brasileira, que possui origem étnica heterogênea. Materiais e métodos : SNPs do NR3C1 foram avaliados em brasileiros de ancestralidade caucasiana, africana ou japonesa (n = 380). Em um subgrupo (n = 40), os genótipos foram comparados à sensibilidade aos glicocorticoides (GC), previamente avaliada por cortisol plasmático (PF) e salivar (SF) após supressão com dexametasona (DEX), ensaio de afinidade do receptor ao GC (K d ) e inibição por DEX de 50% da proliferação de mononucleares estimulada por concanavalina-A (IC 50 ). Discriminação alélica de p.N363S (rs6195), p.ER22/23EK (rs6189-6190) e BclI (rs41423247) foi realizada por PCR em tempo real. Éxons 3 a 9 e transições éxon/íntron foram amplificados e sequenciados. Resultados : Frequências genotípicas (%) foram: rs6195 (n = 380; AA:96,6/AG:3,14/GG:0,26), rs6189-6190 (n = 264; GG:99,6/GA:0,4), rs41423247 (n = 264; CC:57,9/CG:34,1/GG:8,0), rs6188 (n = 155; GG:69,6/GT:25,7/TT:4,7), rs258751 (n = 150; CC:88,0/CT:10,7/TT:1,3), rs6196 (n = 176; TT:77,2/TC:20,4/CC:2,4), rs67300719 (n = 137; CC:99,3/CT:0,7), e rs72542757 (n = 137; CC:99,3/CG:0,7). Enquanto rs67300719 e rs72542757 foram exclusivos dos nipodescendentes, p.N363S e p.ER22/23EK estavam ausentes nesses indivíduos. p.ER22/23EK foi exclusivo dos descendentes de caucasianos. Equilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg foi observado, exceto nos nipodescendentes para rs6188 e rs258751 e nos afrodescendentes para p.N363S. K d , IC 50 , PF ou SF basal ou após DEX foram semelhantes entre os genótipos. Entretanto, a dose média de DEX que suprimiu PF ou SF diferiu entre os genótipos BclI (P = 0,03), sendo maior nos carreadores GG (0,7 ± 0,2 mg) comparada aos GC (0,47 ± 0,2 mg) e CC (0,47 ± 0,1 mg). Conclusão : As ...

RESUMO

The allelic frequencies of 12 short tandem repeat loci were obtained from a sample of 307 unrelated individuals living in Macapá, a city in the northern Amazon region, Brazil. These loci are the most commonly used in forensics and paternity testing. Based on the allele frequency obtained for the population of Macapá, we estimated an interethnic admixture for the three parental groups (European, Native American and African) of, respectively, 46%, 35% and 19%. Comparing these allele frequencies with those of other Brazilian populations and of the Iberian Peninsula population, no significant distances were observed. The interpopulation genetic distances (F(ST) coefficients) to the present database ranged from F(ST) = 0.0016 between Macapá and Belém to F(ST) = 0.0036 between Macapá and the Iberian Peninsula.

RESUMO

Neste trabalho, objetivou-se comparar três estimadores do coeficiente de endogamia, F, em uma população diplóide com dois alelos, utilizando-se dados de frequências alélicas em amostras de indíviduos, com diferentes tamanhos obtidas em populações simuladas, por meio do software SAS. Foi avaliado o estimador de F, obtido pela análise de variância de frequências alélicas, o estimador considerando o método dos momentos e o estimador pelo método da máxima verossimilhança. Os resultados encontrados para a média e variância os estimadores, a partir de 1000 estimativas de F, calculadas para cada tamanho de amostra, mostraram que os três estimadores são tendenciosos. Entretanto, de maneira geral, observou-se que o estimador considerando a análise de variância foi menos tendencioso e apresentou menor variância, quando o coeficiente de endogamia da população foi alto. Para tamanho de amostra superior a 50, os três estimadores tiveram comportamento semelhante, independente da frequência alélica e da endogamia da população.


The present work evaluated the properties of three estimators of the inbreeding coefficient, F, in a diploid population with two alleles, using data of gene frequencies in individuals from random samples obtained from populations simulated through the SAS. We evaluated the estimators of F obtained by variance analysis of allelic frequencies, obtained by moment method, and estimator obtained by maximum likelihood method. The analysis of the means and variances of the estimators, obtained from 1000 estimates of F, calculated for each sample size, demonstrated that the three estimators were biased. However, it was observed that the estimator obtained from univariate analysis was less biased and presented smaller variance, when the inbreeding coefficient in the population was elevated, while for populations with low inbreeding, the variance of the estimator obtained by the multivariate analysis was smaller.

RESUMO

Introducción: El fenómeno de sub-estructura en las poblaciones ha tenido desde hace varios años un abordaje amplio, que se enfocó, entre otros, en la identificación y cuantificación de la mezcla étnica presente en estudios de mapeo asociativo, para comprobar la asociación de marcadores polimórficos en el desarrollo de enfermedades comunes complejas, como responsable de falsos positivos. No obstante el reconocimiento de este problema, no se tiene suficiente información genética en el contexto nacional ni local que permita determinar la posible diferenciación de subgrupos poblacionales en cada región en particular. Objetivo: Determinar la estructura genética en una muestra poblacional de la ciudad de Bucaramanga, a partir del análisis de 19 marcadores microsatélites autosómicos en distintos subgrupos poblacionales. Metodología: De la base de datos del Laboratorio de Genética Humana de la Universidad Industrial de Santander, se seleccionaron aleatoriamente 350 muestras de ADN, y se amplificaron 19 marcadores autosómicos Short Tandem Repeat mediante los "kits Powerplex® 16 y FFFL (Promega)".Resultados: En el análisis de equilibrio Hardy Weinberg, no se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en 18 de 19 marcadores Short Tandem Repeat autosómicos analizados en la población de Bucaramanga. El único marcador que mostró no estar en equilibrio Hardy Weinberg en la población de Bucaramanga fue el F13B (valor de significancia de p=0.00264, después de aplicar la corrección de Bonferroni). Discusión: Las poblaciones representadas en los seis estratos socioeconómicos mostraron alta diversidad genética intragrupos, que ratificó una alta variabilidad entre los individuos de la ciudad de Bucaramanga, acorde con el bajo valor de FST entre distintos grupos, determinado en el análisis molecular de varianza con base en frecuencias alélicas observadas para los 19 Short Tandem Repeat analizados.


Introduction: The phenomenon of substructure in the populations has been greatly analyzed for several years, and it has been focused especially on the identification and quantification of ethnic mixture present in studies of associative mapping to verify the association of polymorphic markers in the development of complex and common diseases responsible for false positives. Nevertheless, despite the recognition of this issue, there is insufficient genetic information within the national or local contexts that allow assessing the possible differentiation of population sub-groups in each particular region. Objective: To determine the genetic structure in the city of Bucaramanga through the analysis of 19 autosomal microsatellite markers in different subgroups of the population. Methodology: A total of 350 DNA samples were randomly selected from the database of the Human Genetic Laboratory at Universidad Industrial de Santander by using Epi Info version 6.04 2001. Also, 19 Short Tandem Repeat markers were amplified using "kits Powerplex® 16 and FFFL (Promega)". Results: In the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium analysis (100 steps in Markov chain and 1000 dememorization steps), no statistically significant differences in 18 out of the 19 analyzed STRs markers in the population of Bucaramanga were obtained. A unique marker that proved not present in HWE in the population of Bucaramanga was the F13B (for a significance value of p=0.00264, after applying the Bonferroni correction). Discussion: The populations represented in the six socioeconomic levels presented high genetic diversity intragroups, which ratified the high variability among the individuals in this city according to the low value of FST for different groups, determined via the molecular analysis of variance based on the allelic frequencies observed for the 19 analyzed Short Tandem Repeats.
