摘要:

羊的皮、毛、奶和肉经加工能为人们产出具有重要经济效益的畜产品并深受人们喜爱,促使人们对绵、山羊的需求量不断增多。养羊业在我国畜牧业中占有重要地位,保持本品种的优势性能、表型选育和基因型选育均为科学选育提供了有效并准确的数据支撑,通过传统和新兴技术手段进行良种扩繁得以改良品种的生产性能,从而改善羊的生产性状增加其经济效益。表观遗传学是遗传学的分支学科并且是一门新兴学科领域,是在DNA序列不发生改变的情况下,对基因进行调控和遗传表达。通过高通量测序技术手段在DNA甲基化、染色质可及性、组蛋白修饰和三维基因组层面持续加强对羊遗传育种的应用。在研究羊的复杂经济性状如生长性状、绒毛性状、繁殖性状、脂质代谢以及免疫和疾病等方面均发挥着重要作用,鉴定出相关候选基因和调控元件及其作用位点。本综述从表观遗传学的角度归纳总结了羊遗传育种领域的最新研究现状和未来发展方向。

Abstract:

The skin, wool, milk and meat of sheep and goats can be processed for people to produce livestock products with important economic benefits and loved by the people, prompting the demand for sheep and goats continue to increase. Sheep and goats farming occupies an important position in China′s animal husbandry industry. Maintaining the superior performance of the breed, phenotypic breeding and genotypic breeding provide effective and accurate data support for scientific selection and breeding, and through the traditional and emerging technology means of breeding to improve the production performance of the breed, thus improving the production traits of sheep and goats to increase their economic benefits. Epigenetics is a sub-discipline of genetics and an emerging field of study, which is the regulation and genetic expression of genes without altering the DNA sequence. The application of high throughput sequencing technology for genetic breeding of sheep and goats continues to be enhanced at the DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, histone modification and 3D genomic levels. It plays an important role in the study of complex economic traits in sheep and goats such as growth traits, fleece traits, reproductive traits, lipid metabolism, as well as immunity and disease, identifying relevant candidate genes, regulatory elements and their loci of action. This review summarizes the latest research status and future directions in the field of sheep and goats genetic breeding from an epigenetic perspective.

Key words: epigenetics, sheep and goats, genetic breeding
