Bos indicus lineage

The aim of this study was to assess genome-wide autozygosity in a Nellore cattle population and to characterize ROH patterns and autozygosity islands that may have occurred due to selection within its lineages. It attempts also to compare estimates of inbreeding calculated from ROH (FROH), genomic relationship matrix (FGRM), and pedigree-based coefficient (FPED).

Bos taurus and Bos indicus are two main sub-species of cattle. However, the differential copy number variations (CNVs) between them are not yet well studied. This study presents a genome wide CNV comparison between Bos taurus and Bos indicus. It supplied essential genome diversity information for understanding of adaptation and phenotype differences between the Bos taurus and Bos indicus populations.

In tropical countries, a huge drain in profitability of animal production sector is attributed to tick and tick- borne diseases (TTBD). Traditional tick control measures are riddled by development of acaricide resistance in ticks and possibility of environmental pollution. Identifying and propagating naturally resistant breeds of cattle in endemic regions is a more efficient method in the long run. Marker assisted selection (MAS) which applies genomic information along with conventional selection in cattle breeding is a probable solution.
