Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular biology identification, specifically relating to a specific SNP site combination for identifying the Duntou pig breed and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Hainan Island's unique geographical and ecological conditions have fostered numerous local pig genetic resources, including Wenchang pig, Tunchang pig, Lingao pig, Ding'an pig, Duntou pig, and Wuzhishan pig. Among them, the Duntou pig is a local pig breed unique to Hainan Province, renowned for its excellent characteristics such as tolerance to roughage, resistance to heat and humidity, and delicious meat. It is an important component of Hainan's local pig genetic resources.
[0003] In recent years, with the increasing awareness of local pig breed resource protection and the growing demand for industrial development, the collection and preservation of Duntou pig germplasm resources has been gradually carried out. However, in the process of resource protection, population restoration, and subsequent breeding and industrial promotion, a key technical bottleneck is faced: the lack of efficient and accurate genetic identification methods for Duntou pigs to distinguish them from other similar-looking local pig breeds and imported commercial pig breeds in and outside Hainan Island, thus ensuring the purity and genetic integrity of germplasm resources.
[0004] The key to building a precise genetic identification system lies in screening a set of core single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers with high breed differentiation capabilities. This set must achieve precise identification at three levels: first, it must be able to clearly distinguish Duntou pigs from introduced commercial pig breeds such as Duroc, Landrace, and Large White; second, it must be able to effectively distinguish them from other major local pig breeds in China (such as Min pigs and Jinhua pigs); and third, and most importantly, it must achieve specific identification among Hainan native pig breeds (including Lingao pigs and Wuzhishan pigs) with highly similar genetic backgrounds, in order to solve the practical problem of difficulty in distinguishing Hainan local pig breeds due to their close genetic distance and similar phenotypes.
[0005] Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) and selection signal analysis are core techniques for identifying such discriminative loci. GWAS can systematically analyze genetic loci closely related to typical traits of Duntou pigs (such as tolerance to roughage and strong stress resistance); selection signal analysis helps reveal the genomic imprints formed by the breed during long-term natural selection and artificial domestication. Combining these two methods organically, from the perspectives of "phenotypic correlation" and "selective imprinting," can accurately identify SNP markers with high discriminative power, laying the foundation for constructing a "molecular identity map" of Duntou pigs and establishing a standardized breed identification and genetic tracing system. This provides crucial support for the protection of its germplasm resources, the breeding of superior traits, and subsequent industrial development. Summary of the Invention

[0083] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0084] Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the embodiments are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art. Unless otherwise stated, the reagents, methods, and equipment used in this invention are conventional reagents, methods, and equipment in this technical field.
[0085] Example 1: Screening of SNP loci combinations specific to Duntou pigs
[0086] 1. Genotype Data Acquisition
[0087] (1) The experimental group consisted of 725 pigs from 14 different breeds (strains). Among them, 11 were local Chinese pig breeds, including: Hainan local breeds: Duntou pig (n=20), Wuzhishan pig (a nationally recognized breed with a coat color of black and white, https: / / zypc.nahs.org.cn / pzml / classify.html) (n=73), white Wuzhishan pig (n=20), and Lingao pig (n=24); South China type pig breeds: Bama fragrant pig (n=6) and Yunnan small-eared pig (n=33); Jianghai type pig breeds: Anqing pig (n=20), Erhualian pig (n=24), and Meishan pig (n=44); Central China type pig breeds: Jinhua pig (n=12); and North China type pig breeds: Min pig (n=18). The introduced breeds were: Landrace pig (n=58), Large White pig (n=198), and Duroc pig (n=175).
[0088] Table 1. Statistical table of experimental population varieties, types and quantities
[0089]
[0090] (2) The genotype data of the Duntou pig, Lingao pig and white Wuzhishan pig populations were obtained directly through resequencing, and the specific method is as follows:
[0091] Ear tissue samples were collected from the Duntou pig herd, and total DNA was extracted from the samples using a tissue DNA extraction kit. The integrity and purity of the DNA in each sample were checked by agarose gel electrophoresis and ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The absorbance ratio (A260 / 280) of the DNA samples was required to be between 1.8 and 2.0, and the concentration was ≥50 ng / μL. The DNA samples that passed the quality check were then subjected to genome resequencing using the DNBSEQ sequencing platform (Shenzhen BGI Genomics Co., Ltd.).
[0092] (3) Genotypic data for other pig breeds were obtained from the PGIDB database.
[0093] 2. Genotype Data Processing
[0094] (1) Genotype data merging and quality control
[0095] Genotype data from each population were merged using Plink software according to standard methods. The merged dataset was then subjected to quality control, and SNPs with a detection rate of less than 95% and individuals with a genotyping rate of less than 90% were removed. Loci with a minimum allele frequency of less than 1% and sex chromosome loci were also removed. A total of 725 individuals and 6,733,908 high-quality SNP loci were retained for subsequent analysis.
[0096] (2) Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
[0097] PCA analysis was performed on the above SNP dataset using Plink software. The output results were prefixed with "pca" and generated files ending in ".eigenval" and ".eigenvec". ".eigenval" represents the weight of each PCA, and the other file records the feature vectors used for plotting the PCA graph. The relevant code is shown below:
[0098] plink --bfile data --pca 3 --out pca
[0099] plink: Used to invoke Plink;
[0100] --bfile data: Used to read binary format genotype files;
[0101] --pca 3: Used to perform principal component analysis and obtain the eigenvector values of the first 3 columns;
[0102] --out pca: Outputs the principal component analysis results, with the file prefixed with pca.
[0103] (3) Evolutionary tree analysis
[0104] Phylogenetic analysis was performed on the above SNP dataset using VCF2Dis and FastMe software. Specifically, VCF2Dis was used to calculate genetic distances, and FastMe was used to construct the phylogenetic tree based on the distance matrix. The output results were prefixed with "data" and generated files ending in ".mat" and ".nwk". The ".mat" file represents the genetic distance between each individual, and the ".nwk" file records the feature vectors used for drawing the phylogenetic tree. The relevant code is shown below:
[0105] VCF2Dis -InPut data.vcf -OutPut data_dis.mat
[0106] fastme -i data_dis.mat -m N -o data.nwk
[0107] VCF2Dis\fastme: Calls the corresponding software;
[0108] -InPut data.vcf: Reads the input file data (vcf format);
[0109] -OutPut data_dis.mat: Outputs genetic distance results, with the file prefixed with "data";
[0110] -i data_dis.mat: Reads the output file from the previous step;
[0111] -m N: The adjacency-based method is selected to construct the tree;
[0112] -o data.nwk: Outputs a phylogenetic tree file.
[0113] (4) Results visualization
[0114] ①PCA Analysis Visualization: The output results of step (2) are formatted using Excel. Specifically, the first column is set as breed, the second column as eigenvector value 1 (PC1), and the third column as eigenvector value 2 (PC2). The formatted data (the data is named pca) is read into R language, and the ggplot2 package is used to plot the PCA analysis chart based on the eigenvector values of the first two columns (PC1 and PC2). The X-axis is set as PC1, the Y-axis as PC2, and different breeds are represented by different colors. The relevant code is shown below:
[0115] ggplot(pca,aes(x=PC1,y=PC2,color=Breed))+
[0116] geom_point(size=3)+
[0117] theme_bw() +
[0118] theme(panel.border=element_blank(), panel.grid.major=element_blank(), panel.grid.minor=element_blank(), axis.line=element_line(colour="black"))
[0119] ggplot(): Creates a base layer;
[0120] geom_point(): Draws a scatter plot layer;
[0121] theme_bw(): Draws the theme.
[0122] The PCA analysis results are shown below. Figure 1 As can be seen from the figure, there is some overlap between Duntou pigs and local Hainan pig breeds (such as white Wuzhishan pigs, Wuzhishan pigs, and Lingao pigs), showing a relatively close genetic distance. This indicates that Duntou pigs and local Hainan pigs have similar genetic characteristics, making identification more difficult.
[0123] ② Visualization of phylogenetic tree analysis: The output of step (3) is visualized using iTOL. Specifically, the result file with the suffix .nwk is uploaded, and different colors are used to annotate the individual species information.
[0124] See the results of the phylogenetic tree analysis. Figure 2 As can be seen from the figure, the branching distance between Duntou pig and Hainan local pig breed is relatively close, indicating a high degree of similarity in genetic characteristics between the groups.
[0125] 3. Genome-wide association analysis to screen for SNP loci specific to Duntou pigs.
[0126] Based on step 2 (1), the GEMMA software was used to conduct a genome-wide association analysis based on a mixed linear model. The specific method was as follows: the Duntou pig was used as the experimental group, and other breeds were uniformly set as the control group. The genotype data in step 2 was converted into a GEMMA-compatible Plink binary format file. First, the genetic relationship matrix between samples was calculated using the GEMMA software. Then, the phenotype file was specified (the experimental group was assigned a value of 1, and the control group was assigned a value of 0) for association analysis. The threshold for significant sites was set to 1E-20 or 1E-12.
[0127] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the significant site threshold setting, a total of two SNP site combinations were obtained. Among them, the significant SNP site combination above the threshold line 1E-20 was named the Duntou pig breed-specific SNP site group A1, and the significant SNP site combination above the threshold line 1E-12 was named the Duntou pig breed-specific SNP site group A2. Figure 3 ).
[0128] 4. Select signal analysis to screen for SNP sites specific to Duntou pigs.
[0129] Based on step 2, the quality-controlled genotype data were converted to VCF format using Plink software, and then the fixed index (F) was calculated using VCFtools software. ST The specific method is as follows: The Duntou pig was used as the experimental group, and other breeds were used as the control group. The sliding window size was set to 50,000 bp, and the sliding step size was 20,000 bp. The F of the window was set... ST Sort the values from largest to smallest.
[0130] like Figure 4 As shown, filter F ST The SNP sites included in the top 1% window are designated as Group B of pig-specific SNP sites.
[0131] 5. Genome-wide association analysis and selection signal analysis: Screening for common-specific SNP sites.
[0132] The shared SNP loci (20 SNP loci) between groups A1 and B were retained as group C1, and the shared SNP loci (40 SNP loci) between groups A2 and B were retained as group C2. The combination of SNP loci in groups C1 and C2 represents the specific SNP loci of the Duntou pig.
[0133] The specific SNP loci screened in group C2 are shown in Table 2. The distribution of each specific SNP locus in the genome and the genotype distribution of each specific SNP locus in different populations are shown in Table 2. Figure 5 The rows in the figure represent different SNP loci, and the columns represent the experimental individuals. SNP loci are annotated in the vcf genotype file: homozygous wild type 0 / 0, gray; heterozygous 1 / 0, yellow; homozygous mutant 1 / 1, red. (Example) Figure 5 The results showed that the genotypes of the specific SNP loci in Duntou pigs differed significantly from those in other populations.

[0136] Example 2: Visual analysis of PCA in the identification of Duntou pigs using specific SNP loci combinations.
[0137] 1. Processing of genotype data
[0138] Referring to Example 1, using Plink software, the SNP locus genotype data of the 14 pig breeds / strains in Example 1 (data of 725 individuals merged in step 2) were extracted to the corresponding C1 and C2 groups (Table 2) (named D1 and D2 respectively).
[0139] 2. Application in variety identification
[0140] (1) PCA analysis
[0141] PCA analysis was performed on the genotype data D1 and D2 using Plink software. The output results were prefixed with "pca", resulting in two files ending with ".eigenval" and ".eigenvec". ".eigenval" represents the weight of each PCA, while the other file (".eigenvec") records the eigenvectors used for plotting the PCA graph. The relevant code is shown below:
[0142] plink --bfile D --pca 3 --out pca
[0143] plink: Used to launch Plink;
[0144] --bfile D: Used to read the binary format genotype file D;
[0145] --pca 3: Used to perform principal component analysis and obtain the eigenvector values of the first 3 columns;
[0146] --out pca: Outputs the principal component analysis results, with the file prefixed with pca.
[0147] (2) Visualization
[0148] The output of step (1) is formatted using Excel. Specifically, the first column is set to breed, the second column to eigenvector value 1 (PC1), and the third column to eigenvector value 2 (PC2). The formatted data (named pca) is then read into R. The ggplot2 package is used to plot the PCA analysis based on the eigenvector values of the first two columns (PC1 and PC2). The X-axis is set to PC1, the Y-axis to PC2, and different breeds are represented by different colors. The relevant code is shown below:
[0149] ggplot(pca,aes(x=PC1,y=PC2,color=Breed))+
[0150] geom_point(size=3)+
[0151] theme_bw() +
[0152] theme(panel.border=element_blank(), panel.grid.major=element_blank(), panel.grid.minor=element_blank(), axis.line=element_line(colour="black"))
[0153] ggplot(): Creates a base layer;
[0154] geom_point(): Draws a scatter plot layer;
[0155] theme_bw(): Draws the theme.
[0156] The PCA analysis results of the genotype data D1 corresponding to the SNP locus combinations in group C1 are shown below. Figure 6 As can be seen from the figure, the clustering effect is poor, and it is impossible to clearly separate Duntou pigs from other pig breeds, indicating that the SNP locus combination of group C1 is not suitable for identifying Duntou pig breeds.
[0157] The PCA analysis results of the genotype data corresponding to the SNP loci combinations in group C2 for D2 are shown below. Figure 7 As can be seen from the figure, the SNP locus combination of group C2 has better application potential for identifying Duntou pigs. The Duntou pigs in Table 1 are clustered together, showing a relatively close genetic distance; while they are clearly separated from other pig breeds, indicating that they have a relatively far genetic distance from other pig breeds.
[0158] The above results demonstrate that PCA analysis using 40 specific SNP loci in group C2 can accurately identify chubby pigs. Therefore, the combination of 40 specific SNP loci provided in this invention can be used to identify chubby pigs.
[0159] Example 3: Application of specific SNP locus combinations of Duntou pigs in the identification of Duntou pigs
[0160] 1. Genotype Data Acquisition
[0161] Tissue samples were collected from the pigs to be tested, and DNA was extracted from the tissue samples to obtain DNA samples from the pigs to be tested.
[0162] 2. Obtaining SNP data from the pigs to be tested
[0163] The DNA samples of the pigs to be tested undergo quality inspection. Once the quality inspection is passed, the samples are sent to a sequencing company for genotyping to obtain the genotype data of the pigs to be tested.
[0164] 3. Processing of genotype data
[0165] Referring to Example 1, the genotype data of the pigs to be tested obtained in step 2 were merged with the genotype data of the known stunted pig population (Table 1) and the control population (non-stunted pig population in Table 1) using Plink software, and the genotype data of the corresponding 40 specific SNP loci were extracted in conjunction with Table 2.
[0166] 4. Application in variety identification
[0167] (1) PCA analysis
[0168] The specific method is the same as in Example 2.
[0169] (2) Visualization
[0170] The specific method is the same as in Example 2.
[0171] (3) Result determination
[0172] When the principal component analysis results show that the genetic distance between the pig to be tested and the known Duntou pig population (Duntou pig population in Table 1) is close, i.e. they cluster together, the pig to be tested is a Duntou pig; otherwise, it is another breed of pig.
