Description

APPLICATION OF A MOLECULAR MARKER ASSISTED SELECTION IN NUMBER OF PIGLETS BORN ALIVE FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to the field of the screening of molecular
markers, and in particular to the application of a molecular marker assisted
selection in number of piglets born alive.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Reproductive traits of sows are one of the important economic traits
in pigs. However, due to the low heritability of pigs, the conventional
selection of reproductive traits in sows proceeded slowly. With the rise and
rapid development of molecular biology technology, the combination of
conventional breeding and marker assisted selection (MAS) has been
developed, which can effectively speed up the selection progress of
selection in number of piglets born alive.
DKK2 belongs to DKK protein family and is a kind of secretory
glycoprotein. It plays a role by antagonizing WNT signaling pathway,
mainly including signal peptide sequence, coesterase folding and two
conserved domains rich in cysteine (Niehrs, 2006). The characterization of
SNPs associated with number of piglets born alive plays an important role
in marker assisted selection. Up to now, the reports related to the DKK2
gene as a molecular marker assisted selection are rare.

Embodiment 1: Acquisition of SNP detection fragment of DKK2 gene
and establishment of the detection method of polymorphic sites
1. Extraction of porcine genomic DNA
The experimental pig variety of the invention is a new black pig
variety jointly cultivated by the Institute of Animal Science and Veterinary
Medicine, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Hubei Tianzhili
High Quality Pig Breeding Co., Ltd. The porcine genomic DNA was
extracted by the animal tissue genomic DNA kit produced by Beijing
Qingke Xinye Biotechnology Co., Ltd according to the instructions.
2. Acquisition of SNP fragment of porcine DKK2 gene
(1) PCR amplification
Designed a pair of primers to amplify the fragment of a polymorphic
site according to the SNP marker sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 of
DKK2 gene sequence (Gene ID: NC_010450.4), and the sequences of the
primers are shown as follows:
The upstream primer is: 5'ATAAGGAATGTGAAGTTGGGAGAT3'
(also shown in SEQ ID NO.2), and the downstream primer is: 5'
GCTTTGAGGAAGGCTAGGGA 3'(also shown in SEQ ID NO. 3).
PCR amplification was carried out by the genomic DNA of the new black
pig with the above primers. The PCR reaction system was 50 pL and it
comprised: template DNA 100 ng, 10xbuffer comprising Mg2 4 gL,
upstream primer 0.5 pM, downstream primer 0.5 pM, dNTPs 2.5 pM, 1U
TaqDNA polymerase.
The operation procedure of PCR comprises: pre-denaturation at 94°C
for 3min, denaturation at 94°C for 30s, annealing at 60°C for 30s,
extending at 72°C for 45s, 35 cycles; then extending at 72°C for 10min,
and maintaining at 4°C.
(2) Purification of PCR products
The PCR product was purified by Gel Extraction Kit of Sangon
Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, and the specific steps are shown in the
instructions of the kit.
3. Sanger sequencing for detection of molecular markers
The recovered PCR products were sent to Beijing AuGCT
Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for Sanger sequencing.
Embodiment 2: Polymorphism distribution detection of the molecular
marker in the new black pig
In this embodiment, the polymorphism of the 8: g.114967878A>G
located in the second intron of porcine DKK2 gene was detected in the new
black pigs, and the detection results are shown in Table 1.
Table Genotype frequency and allele frequency of 8:g.114967878A>G

8:g.1149678 The new 417 332 83 2 0.90 0.10 1.77 0.18 78A>G black pigs
The results in Table 1 showed that: in the new black pig, the
8:g.114967878A>G site of DKK2 gene showed three genotypes: AA, AG
or GG, and the frequency of A allele was 0.9, which was the dominant
allele. Chi-square test showed that the 8:g.114967878A>G site in the new
black pig obeyed Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05).
Embodiment 3: Correlation analysis between molecular markers of
the invention and the number of piglets born alive and its application
In order to determine the correlation between 8:g.114967878A>G site
of DKK2 gene and the difference of the number of piglets born alive, the
method established in embodiment 1 was used to detect the polymorphism,
and the correlation between the different genotypes of 8:g.114967878A>G
site of DKK2 gene and total number of piglets born and number of piglets
born alive was analyzed. The GLM program of SAS software (SAS
Institute Inc, Version 9.1) was used to analyze the variance of different SNP
genotypes, and apply the significant test. The model used was as follows:
Yij=p+Gi+Fj+eij
Wherein, Yij was the phenotypic value of traits, p was the average
value, Gi was the genotype effect (comprising the additive gene effect and
the dominant effect; in the additive gene effect, 1, 0 and -1 represent AA,
AG and GG genotypes respectively; in the dominant effect, 1, -1 and 1
represent AA, AG and GG genotypes respectively); Fj was the
comprehensive effect of pig farm, and the eij was the random error.
The correlation analysis between different genotypes and total
number of piglets born and number of piglets born alive was carried out in
new black pig, and the statistical analysis results are shown in Table 2.

The table 2 showed that in 8:g.114967878A>G site, the number of
piglets born alive in GG genotype was significantly lower than that of AA
genotype and AG genotype (P<0.05), and the dominant effect reached to
significant level (P<0.05), but the SNP site had no significant correlation
with the total number of piglets born in the new black pigs.
