Abstract

BACKGROUND: Domestic goats (Capra hircus) have been selected to play an essential role in agricultural production systems, since being domesticated from their wild progenitor, bezoar (Capra aegagrus). A detailed understanding of the genetic consequences imparted by the domestication process remains a key goal of evolutionary genomics. RESULTS: We constructed the reference genome of bezoar and sequenced representative breeds of domestic goats to search for genomic changes that likely have accompanied goat domestication and breed formation. Thirteen copy number variation genes associated with coat color were identified in domestic goats, among which ASIP gene duplication contributes to the generation of light coat-color phenotype in domestic goats. Analysis of rapidly evolving genes identified genic changes underlying behavior-related traits, immune response and production-related traits. CONCLUSION: Based on the comparison studies of copy number variation genes and rapidly evolving genes between wild and domestic goat, our findings and methodology shed light on the genetic mechanism of animal domestication and will facilitate future goat breeding.

Fig. 1 Genomic synteny of assembled chromosomes between wild goat (right half) and domestic goat (left half). In the right half, (a) distribution of gene counts in 1-Mb non-overlapping windows; (b) Distribution of CNV gain region (>800 bp in domestic goats using wild goat as reference) counts in 1-Mb non-overlapping windows; (c) Distribution of CNV loss region counts in 1-Mb non-overlapping windows. (d) In the left half, candidate domestication loci in domestic goat genomeCC BY · PubMed Central

Fig. 2 Photos of wild goat and re-sequenced domestic goat breeds with CNV ratio curve around the ASIP gene region. The CNV ratios (CNV ratio = Read Depth/One average fold depth in whole genome, e.g. CNV ratios fluctuating around two means the read depth of the region is two-fold of the mean in whole genome) calculated within 200-bp sliding windows with 100-bp slide steps were shown as scatter plot and fitted with moving average trend line. Around ASIP (wild goat scaffold1142:1,447,546-1,449,086 bp) region, Bamu wild goat, Khonj wild goat, Yunnan black goat and two Rangeland goats were detected as having one copy while two Boer goats and a Cashmere goat were detected as having at least two copies. Panel 1: wild goat (tan) (Photo is provided by Ghasem Hosseini Salekdeh.); (a) Bamu wild goat; (b) Khonj wild goat. Panel 2: Yunnan Black goat (black); Panel 3–4: Rangeland goats (dark brown and black); Panel 5–6: Boer goats (banded and Schwartzal); Panel 7: Cashmere goat (white) (Photos of Panel 3–7 are provided by James Kijas)CC BY · PubMed Central

(a) Alignment of CCKA receptor sequences among human (H. sapiens), cattle (B. taurus), wild goat (C. aegagrus) and dometic goat (C. hircus). Amino acids unique to domestic goats are shown. Completely identical residues in all receptor homologues are shown in white letters with black background, similar residues are shown in black letters with gray background, and distinct residues are shown in black letters with white background. (b) Transmembrane topology of CCKAR. The binding region (the third extracellular loop) affected in the domestic goat is highlighted with yellow.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
