Resumo
O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar, por meio da utilização e análise de painéis de genotipagem de SNPs de alta densidade e da aplicação das estatísticas homozigose relativa do haplótipo estendido (REHH), uma extensão da análise EHH, e índice de fixação (FST), regiões do genoma selecionadas na linhagem de trabalho da raça Quarto de Milha de forma divergente em relação à de corrida. Foram utilizados 188 cavalos de ambos os sexos, nascidos entre 1985 e 2009, registrados na Associação Brasileira de Criadores de Cavalo Quarto de Milha (ABQM), sendo 68 da linhagem de trabalho e 120 da de corrida. A partir de 36 regiões do genoma, consideradas assinaturas de seleção por ambas as estatísticas utilizadas, foi feita a anotação funcional de genes a fim de identificar aqueles que possam ter sido importantes ao longo do processo de formação da linhagem de trabalho. Quarenta e cinco genes foram identificados em processos biológicos relacionados aos sistemas muscular, esquelético, cardiovascular, respiratório e nervoso, neurotransmissão, metabolismo energético muscular, atividade motora, visão, audição, e função cognitiva. Os genes relacionados aos últimos quatro processos, merecem destaque pelo fato de que, em confluência, podem estar relacionados ao cow sense ou habilidade de apartação, característica de grande importância para a utilização do equino no manejo de bovinos de corte
The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions selected in cutting line of Quarter Horses divergently in relation to racing line using high-density SNP genotyping arrays and the relative extended haplotype homozygosity (REHH) test, an extension of EHH analysis, and the fixation index (FST) as statistical methods. A total of 188 horses of both sexes, born between 1985 and 2009 and registered with the Brazilian Association of Quarter Horse Breeders (ABQM), were used. Of these, 68 horses were from the cutting line and 120 from the racing line. On the basis of 36 genomic regions classified as selection signatures by the two statistical methods, functional annotation of genes was performed in order to identify those that might have been important during formation of the cutting line. Forty-five genes were found to be involved in biological processes related to the muscle, skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems, neurotransmission, muscle energy metabolism, motor activity, vision, hearing, and cognitive function. The genes related to the last four processes are particularly interesting because these genes together may be involved in cow sense or cutting ability, an important characteristic for the management of beef cattle
