Genomic signatures of selection in Brangus cattle revealing the genetic foundations of adaptability and production traits using a breed of origin approach by Gabriel A. Zayas, Raluca G. Mateescu

“…The aim of this study was to detect genomic signatures of selection by analyzing changes in breed origin of allele (BOA) frequencies across the genome.MethodsUsing a multi-breed Angus and Brahman herd (n = 4,516) as a reference, population structure was measured via principal component analysis and admixture analysis in two commercial Brangus herds (n = 4,720). BOA was estimated in these herds using LAMP-LD, followed by a signature of selection analysis utilizing a median-based Z-score approach and Fst analyses to detect genomic regions under selection.ResultsThe analysis revealed a genome-wide increase in Angus ancestry in both Brangus populations (71.46%, 68.7%), reflecting intense selection for traits associated with this lineage. …”
