摘要: 旨在通过全基因组关联分析(GWAS)解析大白猪关键生长性状的遗传机制,为分子标记辅助育种提供理论依据。本研究以5 701头大白猪为研究对象,采集猪达100kg体重日龄(AGE)、达100 kg体重背膘厚(BF)及达100 kg体重眼肌面积(LMA)的表型数据,结合Illumina 50K SNP芯片基因分型数据,采用混合线性模型进行全基因组关联分析,鉴定与猪生长性状相关的SNPs与候选基因。结果表明:AGE、BF和LMA遗传力分别为0.50、0.45和0.43,均属中高遗传力性状,AGE与BF的遗传相关系数为-0.13,表型相关系数为-0.20;AGE与LMA的遗传相关系数为-0.09,表型相关系数为-0.31;BF与LMA的遗传相关系数为0.22,表型相关系数为0.06;GWAS分析共鉴定出13个显著SNPs,其中AGE鉴定出8个显著SNPs,关联到PIK3CG等11个候选基因;BF鉴定出3个显著SNPs,关联到IFN-ALPHA-15等6个候选基因;LMA鉴定出2个显著SNPs,关联到ALDH6A1基因。本研究通过长白猪生长性状的GWAS鉴定了PIK3CG、ELOVL2、IFN-ALPHA-15和ALDH6A1等20个与猪生长性状相关的候选基因。研究结果为猪生长性状的分子标记辅助选择育种提供了重要参考。

Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the genetic mechanism of key growth traits in Large White pigs through genome-wide association study (GWAS) and provide a theoretical basis for molecular marker-assisted breeding. A total of 5 701 Large White pigs were used in this study. Phenotypic data on age at 100 kg body weight (AGE), backfat thickness at 100 kg body weight (BF), and loin muscle area at 100 kg body weight (LMA) were collected. Combined with genotyping data from the Illumina 50K SNP chip, GWAS was performed using a mixed linear model to identify SNPs and candidate genes associated with pig growth traits. The heritability values of AGE, BF, and LMA were 0.50, 0.45, and 0.43, respectively, all of which were medium to high heritability traits. The genetic correlation coefficient between AGE and BF was -0.13, and the phenotypic correlation coefficient was -0.20; between AGE and LMA, the genetic correlation coefficient was -0.09, and the phenotypic correlation coefficient was -0.31; between BF and LMA, the genetic correlation coefficient was 0.22, and the phenotypic correlation coefficient was 0.06. A total of 13 significant SNPs were identified through GWAS, including 8 significant SNPs for AGE, which were associated with 11 candidate genes including PIK3CG; 3 significant SNPs for BF, which were associated with 6 candidate genes including IFN-ALPHA-15; and 2 significant SNPs for LMA, which were associated with ALDH6A1. This study identified 20 candidate genes related to growth traits in Large White pigs, including PIK3CG, ELOVL2, IFN-ALPHA-15, and ALDH6A1, through GWAS. The results provide an important reference for molecular marker-assisted selection in pig breeding.
