Functional SNP panel for parentage assessment and assignment in worldwide goat breeds / A. Talenti, I. Palhière, F. Tortereau, G. Pagnacco, A. Stella, E.L. Nicolazzi, P. Crepaldi, G. Tosser-Klopp. - In: GENETICS SELECTION EVOLUTION. - ISSN 0999-193X. - 50(2018 Nov 19), pp. 55.1-55.7.
Abstract:
Background: International standard panels of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have replaced microsatellites
in several species for parentage assessment and assignment (PA) purposes. However, such a resource is still lacking
in goats. The application of a cheap tool for PA would help the management of goat populations by improving the
reliability of pedigree registration and, consequently, allow a better implementation of breeding schemes or conservation
programs.
Results: Using data from the current GoatSNP50 chip, starting from a worldwide dataset of more than 4000 animals
belonging to more than 140 breeds and populations from the AdaptMap initiative, we selected a panel of 195 SNPs.
The assignment rate of this panel was up to 100% on an additional dataset that included 2000 Alpine and Saanen
animals and highly related candidate sires.
Conclusions: In this study, we defined a highly informative SNP panel, which will be publicly available to worldwide
breeders and laboratories. Its development on such a large number of breeds and populations, together with validation
on a second set of cosmopolitan breeds, makes it a promising and important genomic tool for the goat species.
