“…The tested approaches in analyzing SNPs show their high efficiency and will be put into practical use in breeding and preservation programs for small chicken breeds and populations. Importantly, the current thorough phenotypic and genotypic survey involved several remarkable native breeds of Russia and the former USSR including OM [77], YC [78,79], RW [50,51,64], PC [80][81][82][83], PS/PW, RC, MG, UM, and UG. The obtained information will be helpful in their future conservation and commercial use.…”

Evolutionary Subdivision of Domestic Chickens: Implications for Local Breeds as Assessed by Phenotype and Genotype in Comparison to Commercial and Fancy Breeds

To adjust breeding programs for local, commercial, and fancy breeds, and to implement molecular (marker-assisted) breeding, a proper comprehension of phenotypic and genotypic variation is a sine qua non for breeding progress in animal production. Here, we investigated an evolutionary subdivision of domestic chickens based on their phenotypic and genotypic variability using a wide sample of 49 different breeds/populations. These represent a significant proportion of the global chicken gene pool and all major purposes of breed use (according to their traditional classification model), with many of them being characterized by a synthetic genetic structure and notable admixture. We assessed their phenotypic variability in terms of body weight, body measurements, and egg production. From this, we proposed a phenotypic clustering model (PCM) including six evolutionary lineages of breed formation: egg-type, meat-type, dual purpose (egg-meat and meat-egg), game, fancy, and Bantam. Estimation of genotypic variability was carried out using the analysis of five SNPs, i.e., at the level of genomic variation at the NCAPG-LCORL locus. Based on these data, two generally similar genotypic clustering models (GCM1 and GCM2) were inferred that also had several overlaps with PCM. Further research for SNPs associated with economically important traits can be instrumental in marker-assisted breeding programs.

“…The meat industry in general and the poultry sector specifically essentially rely on the evaluation, characterization, and utilization of genetic diversity inherent in various breeds and lines (e.g., [124][125][126][127][128][129]). In this whole-genome resequencing study, we examined the genetic diversity features in the two divergently selected transboundary meat-type breeds, CRW and PRW, used for producing the Smena 8 broiler cross and compared to the aboriginal cold-tolerant Russian breed of USH.…”

Breeding improvements and quantitative trait genetics are essential to the advancement of broiler production. The impact of artificial selection on genomic architecture and the genetic markers sought remains a key area of research. Here, we used whole-genome resequencing data to analyze the genomic architecture, diversity, and selective sweeps in Cornish White (CRW) and Plymouth Rock White (PRW) transboundary breeds selected for meat production and, comparatively, in an aboriginal Russian breed of Ushanka (USH). Reads were aligned to the reference genome bGalGal1.mat.broiler.GRCg7b and filtered to remove PCR duplicates and low-quality reads using BWA-MEM2 and bcftools software; 12,563,892 SNPs were produced for subsequent analyses. Compared to CRW and PRW, USH had a lower diversity and a higher genetic distinctiveness. Selective sweep regions and corresponding candidate genes were examined based on ZFST, hapFLK, and ROH assessment procedures. Twenty-seven prioritized chicken genes and the functional projection from human homologs suggest their importance for selection signals in the studied breeds. These genes have a functional relationship with such trait categories as body weight, muscles, fat metabolism and deposition, reproduction, etc., mainly aligned with the QTLs in the sweep regions. This information is pivotal for further executing genomic selection to enhance phenotypic traits.

“…It is believed that they were created by the method of folk selection by selecting the best individuals obtained by crossing local birds with imported breeds (New Hampshire, Wyandotte, etc. ), which were brought to Ukraine at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries [Moiseyeva et al 2007]. Targeted selection work with poultry was started in 1948, when it was brought to the Experimental Farm «Birky» from the Poltava region.…”
