In the mutton industry, feed efficiency traits have the greatest influence on the economic benefits of sheep raised in housing conditions. In this study, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Sanger sequencing, and KASPar methods were used to detect the expression levels of the B cell scaffold protein with ankyrin repeats 1 () gene and the relationship between its polymorphism and feed efficiency traits in Hu sheep. The qRT-PCR results showed that the gene was extensively expressed in 10 tissues and it was expressed at remarkably higher levels in lymph than in other tissues ( < 0.05). Then, the polymorphism locus, g.93888 A > T, was detected in intron 4 of the gene and proved to be remarkably associated with feed efficiency traits ( < 0.05). Hence, the gene can be used as a candidate gene for improving the feed efficiency of Hu sheep and this locus could be used as a potential molecular marker for breeding high-feed efficiency sheep in future breeding efforts.
在肉羊产业中,饲料效率性状对舍饲绵羊的经济效益影响最大。本研究采用定量实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)、桑格测序和竞争性等位基因特异性PCR(KASPar)方法,检测了锚蛋白重复序列1(ANKRD1)基因的表达水平及其多态性与湖羊饲料效率性状之间的关系。qRT-PCR结果显示,ANKRD1基因在10种组织中广泛表达,且在淋巴组织中的表达水平显著高于其他组织(P<0.05)。随后,在ANKRD1基因的第4内含子中检测到多态性位点g.93888 A>T,且该位点与饲料效率性状显著相关(P<0.05)。因此,ANKRD1基因可作为提高湖羊饲料效率的候选基因,该位点可作为未来培育高饲料效率绵羊的潜在分子标记。
