The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and discloses a cattle SNP
chip and application thereof, the detection object of the
liquid phase chip comprises 7,829 SNP sites located on a common cattle
reference genome AR-UCD 1.2, and the position information of the SNP sites is shown in the specification table 3. The liquid
chip provided by the invention highlights the specificity of the local cattle variety in the Tibet autonomous region, and by analyzing the local cattle
population structure, sites capable of effectively distinguishing the
population are screened, so that the problems of strong universality and poor specificity of a commercial chip are solved. The liquid-phase chip can also realize flexible selection and upgrading of sites, and breaks through the limitation that a
solid-phase chip cannot flexibly supplement or update the sites. The whole method can be stably operated on the premise of limited sample size and complex
population structure, and is suitable for genetic
resource protection and application scenarios of rare varieties. The method can also be expanded into a standardized
typing tool, and is suitable for various applications such as local cattle
germplasm registration, variety identification, region identification and the like.
