Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in BACE2 gene and growth traits of Niangya yak,and to provide potential molecular markers for improving the growth performance of yak.Based on the re-sequencing data,two SNP sites(g.47,411T>C and g.81,108T>C)were detected in the BACE2 gene of Niangya yak.The genetic polymorphism of the two SNPs and the correlation between the two SNPs and growth traits of yaks were analyzed.Genetic polymorphism analysis showed that g.47,411T>C and g.81,108T>C loci were low polymorphic loci.The correlation results showed that the body weight and chest circumference traits of TT yaks with g.47,411T>C were significantly higher than those of CC yaks,and the body length of TT yaks was significantly higher than that of TC and CC yaks.The body weight and chest circumference of TT yaks with g.81,108T>C locus were significantly higher than those of CC yaks.The body length of TT yaks was significantly higher than that of TC yaks,and the body length of TC yaks was significantly higher than that of CC yaks.In conclusion,the g.47,411T>C and g.81,108T>C loci of the BACE2 gene had significant effects on growth traits of Niangya yak.
