Whole-Genome Resequencing of Worldwide Wild and Domestic Sheep Elucidates Genetic Diversity, Introgression, and Agronomically Important Loci

Feng-Hua Lv et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive genome resource for domestic sheep, wild ovine species, and local breeds, discovering numerous novel genetic variants and investigating their frequency differences between wild and domestic populations. The study also identifies selection targets related to morphological and agronomic traits and uncovers a potential causal variant for fleece fiber diameter. Additionally, the study reconstructs prehistoric migrations from the Near East to South and Southeast Asia.

Genomic analyses of wild argali, domestic sheep, and their hybrids provide insights into chromosome evolution, phenotypic variation, and germplasm innovation

Xin Li et al.

Summary: In this study, we report the genome assemblies of Pamir argali, Tibetan sheep, and hybrid offspring of Pamir argali and domestic sheep. We detected genomic synteny between sheep and argali, and identified genes and variants associated with important traits. We also discovered satellite repeats and provided explanations for the abundance of 2n = 54 hybrids.

Progress and opportunities through use of genomics in animal production

Huw E. Jones et al.

Summary: The development of genetic and genomic technologies has played a crucial role in improving the productivity of farmed animals. By combining advanced data collection, analytics, cloud computing, appropriate infrastructure, and regulation, precision livestock farming (PLF) can be taken to an advanced level, reducing resource use, health treatments, and environmental impact, while also improving animal health and welfare.

Fine-mapping and identification of candidate causal genes for tail length in the Merinolandschaf breed

Dominik Karl Lagler et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze natural tail length variation in Merinolandschaf and identify causal alleles for the short tail phenotype segregating within long-tailed breeds. The research discovered a SNP in the first exon of HOXB13 and a SINE element in the promoter of HOXB13 as potential candidates. These findings have implications for breeding shorter-tailed sheep, improving animal welfare, and understanding differential embryonic development.

Genetics of the phenotypic evolution in sheep: a molecular look at diversity-driving genes

Peter Kalds et al.

Summary: This article reviews the research on the sheep genome in the past few decades, discussing the genetic and genomic variations of phenotypic traits in sheep and advocating for their practical application in sheep breeding. It points out that further research is needed to fully understand the sheep genome, but the accumulated knowledge will help enhance sheep productivity and improve breeding programs in the face of future challenges.

Genome-wide analyses reveal population structure and identify candidate genes associated with tail fatness in local sheep from a semi-arid area

I Baazaoui et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of exploring and preserving the genetic make-up of local livestock breeds under a climate change perspective. The analysis of Tunisian sheep samples revealed recent introgression between BAR and QFO breeds, genetic differentiation in NDT samples possibly due to past introgression of European gene pools, and a significant signal on chromosome 13 associated with fat-tailed BAR animals. Genes under selection pressure related to lipid storage were identified in fat-tailed BAR animals.

Trends towards revealing the genetic architecture of sheep tail patterning: Promising genes and investigatory pathways

P. Kalds et al.

Summary: Different sheep breeds have evolved various tail phenotypic patterns, providing ideal materials for genetic analysis. Researchers aim to understand the genetics behind sheep tail differences to improve animal production and welfare. Genomic investigations have revealed potential genes, but causal variants and mutations still require further investigation for a comprehensive understanding and potential applications.

Towards population-scale long-read sequencing

Wouter De Coster et al.

Summary: Long-read sequencing technologies have advanced to the point where they can be applied to variant detection at a population scale. New computational tools have led to the emergence of population-scale studies in the past two years, with many more expected in the future. The review covers recent developments, challenges, experimental design guidance, as well as strategies for variant validation and genotyping.
