Genetic effects of sterol regulatory element binding proteins and fatty acid-binding protein4 on the fatty acid composition of Korean cattle (Hanwoo).

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:This study identifies single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) or gene combinations that affect the flavor and quality of Korean cattle (Hanwoo) by using the SNP Harvester method. METHODS:Four economic traits (oleic acid [C18:1], saturated fatty acids), monounsaturated fatty acids, and marbling score) were adjusted for environmental factors in order to focus solely on genetic effects. The SNP Harvester method was used to investigate gene combinations (two-way gene interactions) associated with these economic traits. Further, a multifactor dimensionality reduction method was used to identify superior genotypes in gene combinations. RESULTS:Table 3 to 4 show the analysis results for differences between superior genotypes and others for selected major gene combinations using the multifactor dimensionality reduction method. Environmental factors were adjusted for in order to evaluate only the genetic effect. Table 5 shows the adjustment effect by comparing the accuracy before and after correction in two-way gene interactions. CONCLUSION:The g.3977-325 T>C and (g.2988 A>G, g.3977-325 T>C) combinations of fatty acid-binding protein4 were the superior gene, and the superior genotype combinations across all economic traits were the CC genotype at g.3977-325 T>C and the AACC, GACC, GGCC genotypes of (g.2988 A>G, g.3977-325 T>C).

Project description:Genomic selection using high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers is used in dairy and beef cattle breeds to accurately estimate genomic breeding values and accelerate genetic improvement by enabling selection of animals with high genetic merit. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) aimed to identify genetic variants associated with beef fatty-acid composition (FAC) traits and to evaluate the accuracy of genomic predictions (GPs) for those traits using genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP), pedigree BLUP (PBLUP), and BayesR models. Samples of the longissimus dorsi muscle of 965 thirty-month-old Hanwoo steers (progeny of 73 proven bulls) were used to investigate 14 FAC traits. Animals were genotyped or imputed using two bovine SNP platforms (50K and 777K), and after quality control, 38,715 (50K) and 633,448 (777K) SNPs were subjected to GWAS and GP study using a cross-validation scheme. SNP-based heritability estimates were moderate to high (0.25 to 0.47) for all studied traits, with some exceptions for polyunsaturated fatty acids. Association analysis revealed that 19 SNPs in BTA19 (98.7 kb) were significantly associated (P < 7.89 × 10-8) with C14:0 and C18:1n-9; these SNPs were in the fatty-acid synthase (FASN) and coiled-coil domain-containing 57 (CCDC57) genes. BayesR analysis revealed that 0.41 to 0.78% of the total SNPs (n = 2,571 to 4,904) explained almost all of the genetic variance; the majority of the SNPs (>99%) had negligible effects, suggesting that the FAC traits were polygenic. Genome partitioning analysis indicated mostly nonlinear and weak correlations between the variance explained by each chromosome and its length, which also reflected the considerable contributions of relatively few genes. The prediction accuracy of breeding values for FAC traits varied from low to high (0.25 to 0.57); the estimates using the GBLUP and BayesR methods were superior to those obtained by the PBLUP method. The BayesR method performed similarly to GBLUP for most of the studied traits but substantially better for those traits that were controlled by SNPs with large effects; this was supported by the GWAS results. In addition, the predictive abilities of the 50K and 777K SNP arrays were almost similar; thus, both are suitable for GP in Hanwoo cattle. In conclusion, this study provides important insight into the genetic architecture and predictive ability of FAC traits in Hanwoo cattle. Our findings could be used in selection and breeding programs to promote production of meat with enhanced nutritional value.
