Genome sequence analysis of bos frontalis and genome wide association study (GWAS) between near species
Abstract
The Gayal is an enormous estimated imperiled bovine species having a place with the
Bovidae family, Bovini tribe , Bovina group, Bos family , and Bos frontalis species. It
is a semi-domestic animal, kept in gated forest regions rather than in or near villages.
It is also known as the mithan or mithun. With 2n=58 XX chromosome complements
and bred in India, Myanmar, China, Bangladesh, and Bhutan’s hill forests at an
elevation of 1000 to 3000 meters above sea level. The most common animal utilized
by Eastern Himalayan groups is the mithun or Gayal (Bos frontalis).In Bangladesh,
the home plot of Gayal has been found in the Bandarban Slope area. In Bangladesh,
the complete number of Gayal was assessed to be between 800-900, with a normal
of 5.01 Gayal per rancher. Be that as it may, the beginning of this species is as
yet questioned and data on its genomic design is inadequate up until now. Gayal’s
meat is quite possibly the most favored wellsprings of creature protein among nearby
clans and its milk is nutritious.Mithuns are mostly introduced outside of North East
India with the intention of cross-breeding with other bovids. By breeding Gayal
with different types of cattle we can have hybrids which will be able to produce good
quality meat as well as milk. Bangladesh had high reproductive efficiency, with a
calving interval of 402 days. As a result, Gayal’s reproductive efficiency and rapid
growth in the home tract suggest that Bos frontalis can be commercially exploited
provided a solid breeding plan and competent extension service are implemented.
Gayal’s genome resequencing will reveal important details on genomic organization,
evolutionary divergence, conservation, and total endemic diversity. We will use
Genome-wide association studies on Bos frontalis and the purpose of our work is
identifying some genes-proteins with economic importance and compare them with
related species.
