Runs of homozygosity provide a genome landscape picture of inbreeding and genet...
Schiavo, G.; Bovo, S.; Muñoz, M.; Ribani, A.; Alves, E.; Araújo, Pedro Araújo; Bozzi, R.; Candek-Potokar, M.; Charneca, R.; Fernandez, A. I.; Gallo, M.ROHs are long stretches of DNA homozygous at each polymorphic position. The proportion of genome covered by ROHs and their length are indicators of the level and origin of inbreeding. Frequent common ROHs within the same population define ROH islands and indicate hotspots of selection. In this work, we investigated ROHs in a total of 1131 pigs from 20 European local pig breeds and in three cosmopolitan breeds, ...
Describing variability in pig (Sus scrofa) genes coding for receptors and primi...
Bovo, S.; Schiavo, G.; Ribani, A.; Utzeri, V.J.; Taurisano, V.; Ballana, M.; Muñoz, M.; Alves, E.; Araújo, J.P.; Bozzi, R.; Charneca, R.; Di Palma, F.Coronaviruses silently circulate in human and animal populations, causing mild to severe diseases. Therefore, livestock are important components of a “One Health” perspective aimed to control these viral infections. However, at present there is no example that considers pig genetic resources in this context. In this study, we investigated the variability of four genes (ACE2, ANPEP and DPP4 encoding for host rec...

Tracing autochthonous pig breeds with meat near-infrared spectra data pig
Parrini, S.; Dadousis, C.; Karolyi, D.; Martins, J.M.; Garcia-Casco, J.M.; Panella-Riera, N.; Nieto, R.; Petig, M.; Razmaite, V.; Kusec, I.D.Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers an easy to use and cost-effective tool for quantitative and qualitative application in animal science. Of special interest could be considered the use of NIRS for tracing meat origin on the basis of breed specification. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of meat NIRS as a “fingerprint” of autochthonous pig breeds. The research considered intact an...
Potential Use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Predict Fatty Acid Profile of Me...
Ortiz, A.; Parrini, S.; Tejerina, D.; Araújo, J.P.P.; Čandek-Potokar, M.; Crovetti, A.; Garcia-Casco, J.M.; González, J.; Hernández-García, F.I.Autochthonous pig breeds provide products of differentiated quality, among which quality control is difficult to perform and insufficient for current market requirements. The present research evaluates the predictive ability of near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, combined with chemometric methods as a rapid and affordable tool to assure traceability and quality control. Thus, NIR technology was assessed for intac...

Whole-genome sequencing of European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds all...
Bovo, S.; Ribani, A.; Muñoz, M.; Alves, E.; Araujo, J.P.; Bozzi, R.; Čandek-Potokar, M.; Charneca, R; Palma, F.D.; Etherington, G.; Fernandez, A.I.Background: Natural and artificial directional selection in cosmopolitan and autochthonous pig breeds and wild boars have shaped their genomes and resulted in a reservoir of animal genetic diversity. Signatures of selection are the result of these selection events that have contributed to the adaptation of breeds to different environments and production systems. In this study, we analysed the genome variability...
Genome-wide detection of copy number variants in European autochthonous and com...
Bovo, S.; Ribani, A.; Muñoz, M.; Alves, E.; Araujo, J.P.; Bozzi, R.; Charneca, R.; Palma, F.D.; Etherington, G.; Fernandez, A.I.; García, F.In this study, we identified copy number variants (CNVs) in 19 European autochthonous pig breeds and in two commercial breeds (Italian Large White and Italian Duroc) that represent important genetic resources for this species. The genome of 725 pigs was sequenced using a breed-specific DNA pooling approach (30–35 animals per pool) obtaining an average depth per pool of 429. This approach maximised CNV discovery...
Genomic diversity, linkage disequilibrium and selection signatures in European ...
Muñoz, M.; Bozzi, R.; García-Casco, J.; Núñez, Y.; Ribani, A.; Franci, O.; García, F.; Škrlep, M.; Schiavo, G.; Bovo, S.; Utzeri, V. J.; Charneca, R.Genetic characterization of local breeds is essential to preserve their genomic variability, to advance conservation policies and to contribute to their promotion and sustainability. Genomic diversity of twenty European local pig breeds and a small sample of Spanish wild pigs was assessed using high density SNP chips. A total of 992 DNA samples were analyzed with the GeneSeek Genomic Profler (GGP) 70K HD porcin...
