Signatures of positive selection in African Butana and Kenana dairy zebu cattle
Open accessAbstract
Butana and Kenana are two types of zebu cattle found in Sudan. They are unique amongst African indigenous zebu cattle because of their high milk production. Aiming to understand their genome structure, we genotyped 25 individuals from each breed using the Illumina BovineHD Genotyping BeadChip. Genetic structure analysis shows that both breeds have an admixed genome composed of an even proportion of indicine (0.75 ± 0.03 in Butana, 0.76 ± 0.006 in Kenana) and taurine (0.23 ± 0.009 in Butana, 0.24 ± 0.006 in Kenana) ancestries. We also observe a proportion of 0.02 to 0.12 of European taurine ancestry in ten individuals of Butana that were sampled from cattle herds in Tamboul area suggesting local crossbreeding with exotic breeds. Signatures of selection analyses (iHS and Rsb) reveal 87 and 61 candidate positive selection regions in Butana and Kenana, respectively. These regions span genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with biological pathways that are important for adaptation to marginal environments (e.g., immunity, reproduction and heat tolerance). Trypanotolerance QTL are intersecting candidate regions in Kenana cattle indicating selection pressure acting on them, which might be associated with an unexplored level of trypanotolerance in this cattle breed. Several dairy traits QTL are overlapping the identified candidate regions in these two zebu cattle breeds. Our findings underline the potential to improve dairy production in the semi-arid pastoral areas of Africa through breeding improvement strategy of indigenous local breeds.

Rsb is a powerful method to detect selection signature when the selected allele has reached fixation.
“in agreement with Rsb being a powerful method to detect selection signature when the selected allele has reached fixation (Tang et al., 2007; Oleksyk et al., 2010; Bahbahani et al., 2018).”
From Identification of Candidate Signature Genes and Key Regulators Associated With Trypanotolerance in the Sheko Breed (2019) · cites this paper as Bahbahani et al., 2018
The Methods section uses Rsb to detect signatures of positive selection, and the Discussion contrasts it with iHS, which the authors say is weak at detecting haplotypes approaching fixation. The paper does not establish that Rsb is powerful when a selected allele has reached fixation; it also notes that Rsb cannot detect selection when the same region is under selection in both populations compared. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

“Consistent with the previous findings and the origins of the genetic backgrounds of the cattle breeds worldwide (Mbole-Kariuki et al., 2014; Bahbahani et al., 2018), K = 2 highlights best the ancient divergence between indicine and taurine cattle.”

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.
