The genetic profiles and maternal origin of local sheep breeds on Java Island (Indonesia) based on complete mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Java Island is one of the islands in Indonesia which has local sheep breeds with specific characteristics and native development geography in certain regions. This study aimed to determine the genetic profiles and maternal origin of six local sheep breeds on Java Island.

Materials and methods

This study was conducted by identifying the profiles of complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displacement loop (D-loop) region sequences on a total of 22 individual in six local sheep breeds on Java Island, including Javanese thin-tailed (JTT), Javanese Fat-Tailed (JFT), Batur (BTR), Wonosobo (WSB), Garut (GRT), and Priangan (PRG) sheep. The D-loop region was amplified using specific primers, and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed. The PCR products were purified and sequenced.

Results

The mtDNA D-loop analysis identified 21 haplotypes in the analyzed 22 animals with 123 polymorphic sites (V) consisting of 60 singleton variable sites (S) and 63 parsimony informative sites (P). Within all breeds tested, the haplotype diversity, the average number of pairwise differences (K), and nucleotide diversity (Pi) were 0.99567, 25.36364, and 0.02153, respectively. The genetic distance (D) within groups and between groups was 0.001-0.006 and 0.004-0.036, respectively. The phylogeny resulted in the presence of two haplogroups (Hap), which are 5 Hap A and 16 Hap B. All JTT, JFT, BTR, and WSB breeds were in the same cluster in Hap B, whereas GRT and PRG breeds were in clusters in both Hap A and Hap B.

Conclusion

The high genetic diversity in six local sheep breeds on Java Island suggests that they originated from different genetic sources. JTT sheep have closer genetic relationships to JFT, BTR, and WSB sheep, and they are close to European sheep, whereas GRT sheep have closer genetic relationships to PRG sheep. Both are closer to Asian sheep than to European sheep.

Project description:BackgroundThe cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene is one of the most studied mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes to determine sheep's genetic profile. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity and relationships of several Indonesian local sheep populations on Java Island, Indonesia, based on the mtDNA Cyt b gene sequences. Blood samples were collected from forty-one individual sheep in seven populations of Indonesia local sheep breeds on Java Island (Priangan = 6, Garut = 6, Batur = 7, Wonosobo = 5, Javanese Thin-Tailed/JTT = 7, Javanese Fat-Tailed/JFT = 5, and Sapudi = 5). DNA extraction was performed on blood samples, and the mtDNA Cyt b gene was amplified using specific primers (Alek-CBF: 5'-CAACCCCACCACTTACAA-3' and Alek-CBR: 5'-CCTTGAGTCTTAGGGAGGTT-3'). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were then sequenced, and data were analyzed using the MEGA version 7.0, DNA SP version 6.0, and NTSYS-pc version 2.11 software.ResultsA total of 1140 bp complete mtDNA Cyt b gene sequences in this study obtained 1134 monomorphic sites (I), six polymorphic sites (V), one segregation site (S), and five parsimony informative sites (P) with a nucleotide diversity (Pi), the average number of nucleotide differences (K), and sequence conservation (SC) were 0.00119, 1.35610, and 0.9947, respectively. There were six haplotypes consisting of two unique haplotypes and four shared haplotypes with a haplotype diversity (Hd) of 0.5415. The genetic distance within and between populations ranged from 0.0000 to 0.0016 and 0.0000 to 0.0020, respectively. Wonosobo, JFT, and Sapudi sheep have the closest relationship, and then these three breeds were close to JTT sheep, followed by Batur, Priangan, and Garut sheep. Two haplogroups have been found based on the Ovine haplogroup clustering. All Wonosobo, JTT, JFT, Sapudi sheep, and most Batur sheep were clustered into haplogroup B. In contrast, Garut sheep were mostly clustered into haplogroup A, while Priangan sheep were clustered into both haplogroups with the same percentage.ConclusionSeven Indonesian local sheep breeds on Java Island have a close relationship clustered into two haplogroups, namely haplogroups A and B. Most Indonesian local sheep breeds on Java Island in this study were clustered into haplogroup B, except for Garut and Priangan sheep.

Project description:BackgroundCynopterus brachyotis (Müller 1838) is a generalist and widespread fruit bat species which inhabits different types of habitats in Southeast Asia. This species plays an essential role as a seed disperser and pollinator. Morphological study and phylogenetic analysis using mtDNA markers (cyt-b and D-loop) revealed that this species had two different forms in peninsular Malaysia and Borneo and six lineages in Southeast Asia that lead to new species formation. In addition, this species is also reported to have high genetic diversity in Malaysia and Thailand based on the D-loop sequence. However, a phylogenetic and genetic variation study of C. brachyotis in Indonesia has not been conducted yet. These two studies are important as additional information for taxonomic and population genetic studies of this species. Thus, we performed the phylogenetic and genetic diversity analysis of the C. brachyotis population collected from seven habitats on Java island, including open-fragmented habitats (urban, coffee and rubber plantations, pine forest, secondary forest, mangrove forest) and closed habitats (natural forest) using the mtDNA D-loop marker.ResultsThe phylogenetic tree using the Bayesian inference (BI) and genetic distance using the Kimura-2 parameter (K-2P) demonstrated that 33 individuals of C. brachyotis from seven habitats on Java island overlapped between habitats and could not be distinguished according to their habitats and lineage. Intrapopulation and intraspecies analysis revealed high haplotype diversity of this species on Java island (Hd = 0.933-1.000). The haplotype network was split into two haplogroups, showing haplotype sharing between habitats. These phylogenetic and genetic variations analysis of C. brachyotis bats on Java island indicated that this species is widespread and adapt to different habitats.ConclusionsThis study of C. brachyotis on Java island collected from seven different habitats has overlapped and genetically close and has high genetic variation. Our results provide the first reported study of C. brachyotis on Java island and provide data to understand the phylogenetic and genetic diversity of this species in Indonesia.
