Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of biological gene detection, specifically to a combination of SNP molecular markers for miniature pigs and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Genetic quality monitoring of laboratory animals involves using scientific methods to test the genetic consistency of inbred strains and conduct population genetic analysis of closed colonies to evaluate whether they conform to strain or population characteristics, ensuring the inherent genetic composition and biological characteristics of the breed and strain. With the development of life sciences, the technologies and methods for testing the genetic quality of laboratory animals have continuously advanced, evolving from initial morphological, chromosome, protein molecular, and immunological techniques to molecular biology gene detection. This evolution has progressed from extensive to intensive, from qualitative to quantitative, and from cumbersome to simple. These advancements have not only significantly improved the accuracy and reliability of laboratory animal genetic quality assessment, reduced workload, and shortened testing cycles, but also ensured the reliability of laboratory animal genetic quality through advancements in genetic testing technology. This plays a crucial role in the classification, breed and strain maintenance, resource preservation, development and utilization, and animal selection and breeding.

[0003] Genetic markers refer to genes used as markers in genetic analysis, mainly including morphological markers, cytological markers, biochemical markers, and molecular markers. The continuous development of bioscience and technology has placed higher demands and challenges on genetic markers. Ideal genetic markers should possess characteristics such as high density, strong genetic stability, simple genetic behavior, insensitivity to internal and external environmental influences, and ease of automated analysis. Under these conditions, DNA molecular markers have become the most ideal genetic markers. DNA molecular markers are based on DNA sequence polymorphisms. The earliest restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were identified as first-generation DNA molecular markers. Second-generation DNA molecular markers are microsatellite polymorphisms, mainly composed of tandem repeats of 2, 3, or 4 nucleotides. As a third-generation genetic marker, SNPs are relatively easy to identify in the genome and can be stably inherited between parents and offspring; therefore, they are widely used in clinical and research applications.

[0004] Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) refers to a polymorphic change in the DNA sequence caused by a variation in a single nucleotide. The widespread existence of genomic variation was first discovered in 1960. In 1978, Kan and Dozy announced that SNPs could be used to explain differences in the origins of different populations, susceptibility to various genetic diseases, and the genomic expression of physiological traits such as appearance. Following restriction fragment length polymorphism (RSL) and simple repeat sequence polymorphism (SLSB), the emergence of third-generation genetic markers, SNPs, has played a crucial role in biomedical research.

[0005] Miniature pigs belong to the class Mammalia, order Artiodactyla, family Suidae, genus Su, and species Suidae, with a chromosome number of 2n=38. There are many breeds of miniature pigs, and their growth and reproductive performance vary due to differences in genetic background, geographical environment, and other factors. Miniature pigs are highly resistant to adverse conditions and have a strong ability to adapt to poor ecological and feed conditions. They have simple feed requirements and are relatively extensive in terms of feeding. Their average lifespan in natural environments exceeds 10 years, with a lifespan of around 15 years [5]. Miniature pigs and micro pigs are distinguished by weight. Generally, pigs weighing 45-65 kg at 12 months of age are considered miniature pigs, while pigs weighing 25-35 kg at 12 months of age are considered micro pigs. Compared with rodent experimental animals and non-human primate experimental animals, although miniature pigs are not as small, fast-growing, or easy to operate as rodent experimental animals, they also have some irreplaceable advantages as model animals. Compared with rodents, miniature pigs are more closely related to humans. In terms of organ size and physiological structure, miniature pigs can supplement many animal model experiments that are not suitable for rodents. Food and Drug Administrations (FDAs) worldwide mandate that new drugs undergo safety and toxicity assessments on at least one non-rodent large animal (typically monkeys, dogs, or pigs) before clinical trials. While non-human primates are the most evolutionarily related to humans, sharing high homology in cognitive abilities, reproduction, and fertility, their resources are relatively scarce, leading to high experimental costs. Furthermore, the techniques for genetically modifying non-human primates are only mastered by a few laboratories, and numerous ethical issues must be considered. In contrast, miniature pigs possess abundant genetic resources and are easier to apply their treatments to a wider range of animals.

[0006] The existing GB14923-2022 standard, "Genetic Quality Control of Laboratory Animals," was revised in 2022. The standard recommends microsatellite marker genes suitable for miniature pigs, but does not specify SNP genetic quality testing methods and standard testing systems suitable for miniature pigs.

[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to build an internationally advanced SNP genetic quality detection method and standard technical system applicable to miniature pigs. This will not only fill the gaps in relevant domestic and international standards, but also be of great significance for improving the level of genetic detection technology for miniature pig populations and ensuring the quality of miniature pig populations.

[0026] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed in the present application.

[0027] Example

[0028] This embodiment provides a miniature pig SNP gene detection system, and the experimental procedure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps are as follows.

[0029] 1. Collection of animal specimens

[0030] Four commonly used closed herds of miniature pigs in China were selected: the Hainan Wuzhishan miniature pig closed herd (HN, 31 pigs), the Tongzhou Bama miniature pig closed herd (TZ, 29 pigs), the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute Large White pig closed herd (HSY, 27 pigs), and the Yunnan Xishuangbanna miniature pig closed herd (YNF, 30 pigs). This experiment has been approved by the Animal Experimentation and Laboratory Animal Welfare Committee of Capital Medical University (AEEI-2021-309).

[0031] 2. Preparation of genomic DNA

[0032] DNA was extracted from small pig ear tissue using the Vazyme FastPure Cell / Tissue DNA Isolation Mini Kit DC102. The absorbance (A260 / A280) values, measured using a Nanodrop 2000c micro-spectrophotometer, were between 1.8 and 2.0, indicating that the DNA passed quality control and was stored at -20°C for later use.

[0033] 3. Whole genome sequencing and sequencing quality control

[0034] This application involves 10× coverage whole-genome sequencing of 20 Hainan Wuzhishan miniature pigs and 20 Tongzhou Bama miniature pigs, aiming to identify potential polymorphic SNP sites through sequence alignment. The 10× coverage whole-genome sequencing was performed on 20 Hainan Wuzhishan miniature pigs and 20 Tongzhou Bama miniature pigs.

[0035] Raw readings were filtered using FASP software. Paired ends were mapped to MunDraft using BWA software. SNPs were retrieved and filtered using GATK4.1 software. Data quality control was performed using BCFtools software, with the following criteria set: (1) SNPs with a depth less than 2.0 were removed; (2) SNPs with a Fisherman strand depth less than 60.0 were removed; (3) SNPs with an RMS mapping quality less than 30.0 were removed; and (4) SNPs with a depth less than 8.0 were discarded.

[0036] 4. SNP locus screening

[0037] The SNP locus screening criteria in this study include the following five points:

[0038] (1) Screening for SNP loci from different genomic fragments;

[0039] (2) The genotype frequency of SNP loci is between 25% and 75%;

[0040] (3) There is no complete linkage between SNP loci;

[0041] (4) No other SNPs or Indels were found in the 200bp region upstream or downstream of the selected SNP locus;

[0042] (5) These SNP loci are located in missense, nonsense and discontinuity regions of the gene region.

[0043] Following this rigorous screening process, this study identified high-quality SNP locus combinations suitable for genetic quality assessment in miniature pigs.

[0044] Analysis of next-generation sequencing data from 40 miniature pigs identified 221 high-quality SNP loci, which will be used in the development of a miniature pig SNP detection kit. Figure 2 (Table 1).

[0106] 6. Validation of the multi-target region capture sequencing kit

[0107] The genetic detection kits for SNP loci in miniature pigs were simultaneously validated by three companies (Aijitaikang, Tianyi Huiyuan, and Zhongke Guobang). The sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of the miniature pig kits were validated as shown in Table 5 below.

[0108] Table 5. Validation of the test kit for miniature pigs

[0109]

[0110] Experimental results from three institutions showed that even at concentrations as low as 10 μg / mL, the kit could still perform multiplex PCR amplification of SNP combinations from miniature pigs and accurately genotype the SNP sites, indicating good sensitivity of the miniature pig kit. The SNP genotyping results for four miniature pig DNA samples at a concentration of 40 μg / mL were completely consistent, demonstrating strong reproducibility of the miniature pig kit (Table 6). Specificity verification of the miniature pig kit using 40 μg / mL miniature pig DNA revealed that the kit could not amplify or genotype SNP sites in Chinese hamster DNA samples, indicating good specificity of the miniature pig kit. In conclusion, the miniature pig kit demonstrates good performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility.

[0118] 7. Popgen.32 population genetic structure analysis

[0119] To further optimize the SNP locus combinations, this application performed genotyping on 221 SNP loci from five miniature pig populations. The results showed that the MAPQ (mapping quality) values ​​of three SNP loci (MP160, MP166, and MP218) were less than 59, indicating that the reads at these three loci did not have unique positions on the reference genome, making the genotyping results unreliable. This application also found that one SNP locus, MP131, was monomorphic in all miniature pig samples, with a genotype of T / T. This application concludes that such loci with limited polymorphism are unsuitable for subsequent population analysis.

[0120] In addition, this study also identified several linkage loci (MP36, MP39, MP53, MP54, MP189, MP221, MP222) and loci with poor sequencing quality (MP21 and indel locus MP76), which were subsequently optimized. In summary, this application ultimately selected 207 high-quality SNP loci and recommends them for genetic evaluation in miniature pig populations.

[0121] This application used Popgen.32 software to analyze the genetic structure of four closed miniature pig populations using combinations of 207 SNP loci with high amplification quality and good polymorphism from the kit (Table 7). The results show that the HN and TZ populations have relatively high values ​​for various genetic parameters, including mean effective allele count (ne*), Shannon index (I*), observed heterozygosity (ObsHet*), expected heterozygosity (ExpHet*), mean heterozygosity (AveHet*), and polymorphism information content (PIC). This is followed by the HSY population, and finally the YNF population.

[0122] Table 7. Genetic analysis of four closed groups of miniature pigs.

[0123]

[0124] This application constructed genetic tree diagrams for four closed populations of miniature pigs based on Nei genetic distance and UPGMA methods. It was found that the HN population was closest in genetic distance to the TZ population, and they were furthest from the YNF population. Figure 3 ).

[0125] 8. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

[0126] This study used principal component analysis (PCA) on dimensionality-reduced data to calculate the genetic distance between complex samples. The PCA results based on the allele frequency distribution of 207 polymorphic SNP loci in four miniature pig closed populations are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. In the genotype-based PCA results, the HN and TZ populations were difficult to separate, while the YNF and HSY populations were well separated from other populations. Figure 4 A). The PCA 3D diagram can distinguish the four closed groups of miniature pigs, but the HN and TZ groups are still the closest to each other. Figure 4 B). These are all consistent with the results of the genetic tree diagram.

Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
