Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of methods for determining nucleic acids, and particularly to methods, related compositions and applications for identifying or assisting in the identification of triglyceride content in duck skin fat. Background Technology

[0002] Duck meat is one of the major meat consumption categories, second only to pork and chicken in terms of production volume. Different duck breeds exhibit significant differences in skin fat percentage, leading to different cooking methods and thus meeting diverse market demands. For Peking duck to achieve its unique flavor and quality, a skin fat percentage of over 35% is often required; while for foods like salted duck, a lower skin fat content is sufficient. Skin fat deposition in ducks primarily stems from the accumulation of fat (i.e., triglycerides) in subcutaneous fat cells.

[0003] Triglycerides are neutral lipids formed by the dehydration condensation of glycerol with three fatty acid molecules through their three hydroxyl groups. As a major component of very low-density lipoproteins and chylomicrons, triglycerides play a crucial role in metabolism and energy homeostasis. Their energy density is twice that of carbohydrates and proteins, making them an excellent form of energy storage. Ducks, with their exceptionally strong lipid synthesis capacity, are representative species for studying fat deposition. Significant differences exist between the Beijing duck and the Liancheng white duck in their fat deposition capacity; non-targeted lipidomics analysis showed that the subcutaneous fat triglyceride content of the Beijing duck was significantly higher than that of the Liancheng white duck.

[0004] Molecular marker-assisted breeding technology has been widely applied in the cultivation of new varieties of plants and animals. Genome-wide association studies can identify molecular markers closely linked to target traits, allowing for early selection of these traits and significantly reducing breeding costs while accelerating genetic progress. However, currently, there are no molecular markers associated with increasing triglyceride content in duck meat. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One of the technical problems to be solved by the present invention is how to identify or assist in the identification of the content of duck skin fat triglycerides TG (10:0_16:0_18:3) (PubChem ID: 164334463).

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention first provides a method for identifying or assisting in the identification of duck subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content (10:0_16:0_18:3), comprising the steps of detecting the genotype of a specific SNP locus in the duck to be tested, and identifying or assisting in the identification of the duck subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content (10:0_16:0_18:3) content based on the genotype of the specific SNP locus in the duck to be tested; wherein the specific SNP locus is a SNP locus in the duck genome, and its nucleotide type is T or C, which is the 70th nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1.

[0007] In the above method, the detection is performed using PCR primers, which are composed of single-stranded DNA with nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No. 2 and single-stranded DNA with nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No. 3.

[0008] In the above method, the step of identifying or assisting in the identification of the duck's subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content based on the genotype of the duck to be tested can be that the subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content of the duck to be tested with genotype TT is higher or candidate higher than that of the duck to be tested with genotype TC or CC, and the subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content of the duck to be tested with genotype TC is higher than that of the duck to be tested with genotype TC. The content of duck subcutaneous triglycerides (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3) was higher than or candidate higher than the content of duck subcutaneous triglycerides (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3) in the tested ducks with genotype CC; TT is a homozygous type of the specific SNP site T in the duck genome, CC is a homozygous type of the specific SNP site C in the duck genome, and TC is a heterozygous type of the specific SNP sites T and C in the duck genome.

[0009] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a composition for detecting polymorphisms or genotypes (i.e., alleles) of specific SNP sites in the duck genome, the composition being used in any of the following ways:

[0010] Q1. Detect single nucleotide polymorphisms or genotypes associated with the content of triglycerides in duck skin fat;

[0011] Q2. To identify or assist in the identification of the content of triglycerides in duck skin fat;

[0012] Q3. Duck breeding;

[0013] The specific SNP site is a SNP site in the duck genome, and its nucleotide type is T or C, which is the 70th nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1; the composition contains the PCR primers.

[0014] In the above composition, the composition comprises PCR primers, which are composed of single-stranded DNA with nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No. 2 and single-stranded DNA with nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No. 3.

[0015] In the above composition, the indicators for duck breeding include the content of duck skin polyglycerides.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the duck breeding is parental hybridization breeding, and the purpose of the duck breeding includes selecting ducks with high (higher than the parent) content of duck skin polyglycerol triglyceride TG (10:0_16:0_18:3) or low (lower than the parent) content of duck skin polyglycerol triglyceride TG (10:0_16:0_18:3).

[0017] The aforementioned parental hybridization breeding refers to a breeding method that involves crossing the male and female parents and selecting new varieties from their offspring (hybrids) that combine the superior traits of both parents.

[0018] Another technical problem that this invention aims to solve is how to breed ducks.

[0019] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for breeding ducks with high levels of duck sebaceous triglyceride (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3), comprising: detecting the polymorphism of a specific SNP in the duck genome, selecting a homozygous duck with the specific SNP site T in the duck genome as a parent, and breeding ducks with a higher level of duck sebaceous triglyceride (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3) than the parent, thereby obtaining ducks with high levels of duck sebaceous triglyceride (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3).

[0020] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for breeding ducks with low levels of duck subcutaneous triglycerides (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3), comprising: detecting the polymorphism of a specific SNP in the duck genome; selecting a homozygous duck with the specific SNP site C in the duck genome as a parent to breed ducks with lower levels of duck subcutaneous triglycerides (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3) than the parent, thereby obtaining ducks with low levels of duck subcutaneous triglycerides (TG) (10:0_16:0_18:3).

[0023] A2. Application in the preparation of products for identification or auxiliary identification of duck skin fat triglyceride content;

[0025] The specific SNP site is a SNP site in the duck genome, and its nucleotide type is T or C, which is the 70th nucleotide of SEQ ID No. 1.

[0026] The composition comprises PCR primers, which are composed of single-stranded DNA with nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No. 2 and single-stranded DNA with nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No. 3.

[0027] The genotype of the specific SNP site in the duck genome can be TT, TC, or CC. TT is the homozygous type of the specific SNP site T in the duck genome, CC is the homozygous type of the specific SNP site C in the duck genome, and TC is the heterozygous type of the specific SNP site T and C in the duck genome.

[0028] In the above applications, the duck breeding indicators in the above compositions include the content of duck skin polyglycerides.

[0030] The aforementioned parental hybridization breeding refers to a breeding method that involves crossing the male and female parents and selecting new varieties from their offspring (hybrids) that combine the superior traits of both parents.

[0031] In the above methods, compositions, and references, the composition for detecting polymorphisms or genotypes (i.e., alleles) of specific SNP sites in the duck genome can be reagents and / or instruments required to determine the polymorphisms or genotypes of specific SNPs by at least one of the following methods: DNA sequencing, restriction enzyme fragment protein content polymorphism, single-strand conformation polymorphism, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography, and SNP chips.

[0036] In the methods, compositions, and references described above, the PCR primers may be labeled with a marker. The marker refers to any atom or molecule that can be used to provide a detectable effect and can be linked to nucleic acids. Markers include, but are not limited to, dyes; radioactive markers, such as… 32 P; binding moieties, such as biotin; haptens, such as digoxigenin (DIG); luminescent, phosphorescent, or fluorescent moieties; and fluorescent dyes alone or in combination with moieties whose emission spectra can be inhibited or shifted by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The label can provide a signal detectable by fluorescence, radioactivity, colorimetry, gravimetric determination, X-ray diffraction or absorption, magnetism, enzyme activity, etc. The label can be a charged moieties (positive or negative) or, optionally, charge-neutral. The label can include nucleic acid or protein sequences or combinations thereof, provided that the sequence containing the label is detectable. In some embodiments, nucleic acids are detected directly without labeling (e.g., direct sequence reading). PCR primers as described can consist of single-stranded DNA with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 2 and single-stranded DNA with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 3.

[0042] The ducks mentioned above are meat ducks. The ducks are small-sized meat ducks. The meat ducks can be local breeds such as Beijing ducks, Shaoxing ducks, Liancheng white ducks, or Putian black ducks, or their hybrid offspring. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is a hybrid offspring of Beijing ducks and Liancheng white ducks.

[0043] The molecular markers described in this invention were obtained through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The specific SNP molecular markers of this invention are associated with the duck subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content trait (10:0-16:0-18:3). By determining the genotype of the specific SNP in the duck to be tested, early selection for the duck subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content trait can save production costs, increase or decrease subcutaneous triglyceride (TG) content (10:0-16:0-18:3), accelerate genetic progress, improve duck breeding efficiency, and shorten the breeding cycle.
