Abstract
The world's buffaloes are primarily divided into two main categories
: swamp buffaloes and riverine buffaloes. Binhu buffaloes (BB) are Chinese indigenous swamp buffaloes, characterized as strong body vigor, fit for durable work with docile nature. However, there is literature void regarding genomic architecture and selective sweeps analysis for this breed. Herein we utilized 20 newly whole genome sequences (WGS) of BB together with published WGS data of seventy-four buffaloes [Upper Yangtze (UY) buffaloes; n = 30, Middle-Lower Yangtze (MLY) buffaloes; (n = 30) and River buffaloes (RB); (n = 14)] to elucidate population structure, genetic diversity and selection characteristics of the BB. The results showed that the BB originated from swamp buffalos. The genetic diversity of the BB was lower than that of the RB and higher than that of the UY and the MLY buffaloes. In addition, employing five selective sweep detection methods numerous genes related to immunity (RELT, TP73, C5, CHMP1A, CDK10, ANKRD17), heat tolerance (DNAJB4, DNAJA1, HSF4, HELB, DNAJC28), growth (LYN, DYNC1I2, PLAG1, ADAMTSL3, CHKB, PDE1A, RXFP2), carcass and metabolism (SIRT6, LYPLA1, FADS1), nervous system (KIRREL3, AUTS2), and reproduction (SMG6, TSNAXIP1, CACNB2, ERCC3, RAD51, GDF9, CAMK4, KALRN, FANCA, SPIRE2, ATP2B1, AREG, EREG) were found to be under selection. Taken together, current investigation provides a genetic basis for the characteristics specific to the BB, such as high body strength; tolerance to roughage and easy to gain weight; docile nature; ability to endure labor; strong adaptability; and low fecundity and offers new ideas for the conservation, development and utilization of this breed.
