Y chromosome haplotype characterization of Tunisian sheep breeds

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate Y chromosomal haplotypes in the main Tunisian sheep breeds. For this purpose, we sequenced 2 regions of SRY (549-bp and 598-bp fragments) and 1 region in each of the AMELY and DBY genes in Barbarin, Western Thin Tail, Sicilo Sarde, and Black Thibar breeds. In addition, we analyzed the diversity at the SRYM18 microsatellite locus and detected 4 alleles of 139, 141, 143, and 145 bp. The sequencing analysis did not reveal any polymorphism in the AMELY or DBY regions; however, 2 sam… Show more

“…The Noire de Thibar breed displayed the highest proportion of loci with rare alleles and the highest proportion of loci, out of the total SNP set, showing heterozygote excess. These results are consistent to previous genetic diversity studies of Tunisian sheep populations using nuclear microsatellites (Kdidi et al, 2015a) and Y chromosome markers (Kdidi et al, 2015b).…”

“…However, the frequency of most common Y chromosome haplotype(s) found in different countries were as follows: 72.8% H6 [29] in African breeds; 60.7% H6 [7,8] in sheep breeds from all over the world; 65.0% [30] in Northern Eurasian breeds; 55.5% H8 and 34.5% H6 [31] in Tunisian breeds; 43.4% H6 [32] in Chinese breeds. Thus, it seems that H6 haplotype is the most frequent haplotype (except in Tunisia) in most of the places of the old continents.…”
