SNP molecular marker related to Chinese Holstein cow reproduction traits and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology, in particular to an SNP molecular marker related to Chinese Holstein cow reproductive traits, a kit for detecting the molecular marker, and application of the SNP molecular marker and the kit.
Background
The molecular Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) makes full use of genetic Marker, phenotype and pedigree information, has larger information amount than that of a conventional genetic evaluation method, and can improve the accuracy of individual genetic evaluation. Meuwissen et al (2001) demonstrated by simulations that the accuracy of predicting breeding values based on marker information could reach 85%. In the case of asian assay records, it is of great significance that the estimates of breeding values achieve such high accuracy. The application of MAS in cattle breeding has many advantages: is not easily influenced by the environment, has no limitation of gender and age, allows early seed selection, shortens the generation interval, improves the selection strength, and further improves the efficiency and the accuracy of seed selection. Kashi et al (2008) indicated that the trait gene screening of replacement bulls by MAS in dairy cows was 20-30% faster than that of the conventional descendant determination method. By selecting breeding bulls in advance, MAS can gain a doubling of genetic progress.
PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism) belongs to a form of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). The PCR-SSCP molecular marker is a gene variation detection technology developed on the basis of PCR and DNA single-strand gel electrophoresis technology. The basic principle is as follows: in the neutral polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the mobility of a single DNA strand depends on the conformation formed by the single DNA strand, besides the length of the DNA strand. Under non-denaturing conditions, the single DNA strand may self-fold into a conformation with a certain spatial structure, which is determined by the base sequence of the single DNA strand, and its stability is maintained by intramolecular interactions (mainly hydrogen bonds). The single DNA strands of the same length show polymorphism, i.e., Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP), due to the change of single strand conformation caused by the difference of sequence and even single base, thereby causing the difference of electrophoretic mobility. As a new DNA sequence variation detection means, the PCR-SSCP method has unique points compared with the traditional gene variation detection method: 1) it can find the base mutation of unknown position in the target DNA segment; takao proves that 90% of single base mutation in the DNA fragment of less than 300bp can be found by SSCP through experiments; 2) the mutant single-stranded DNA with different mobility is separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and can be further purified.
The genetic homeostasis of the population is disturbed by the high-intensity selection of the lactation performance, and the negative correlation between the lactation performance and the functional traits causes the degradation of the reproductive performance of the high-yield cow population. It is reported that 15-20% of the cows are forced to be eliminated each year due to breeding problems, and the direct and indirect losses caused by them seriously affect the economic efficiency of the dairy industry. Common indexes for measuring reproductive performance mainly comprise the age of a primiparity month, the first mating days after delivery, the number of barren days, calving intervals, conception indexes and the like, and the heritability of the characters is low and data records are lacked, so that the characters are difficult to be considered in a breeding plan. The candidate genes of reproductive performance are taken as detection objects, the correlation between the polymorphism of the genes and the production performance is analyzed by a modern molecular biology technology and a quantitative genetics method, the genotype or allele which is favorable for production is found, and the genes or the genes which are closely linked with the genes are taken as markers to be applied to seed selection, so that the accuracy of seed selection can be improved, more importantly, the animal can be selected by detecting the genotype at the early stage when the animal cannot show the characters, and the method is obviously more economical and reliable than the traditional method of selecting only according to the phenotypic value.
Reproductive performance of cows is closely related to energy metabolism of organisms, and Negative Energy Balance (NEB) in perinatal period is an important reason for the deterioration of reproductive performance of high-yield cows. Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR γ) is a ligand-Activated nuclear transcription factor encoded by PPARG gene, and plays a key role in regulating and controlling animal energy homeostasis, glycolipid metabolism, immune response and the like. Research shows that PPAR gamma is a key transcription factor connecting energy metabolism and reproductive physiological processes of mammals, and high expression of PPAR gamma in corpus luteum and placenta plays an important role in progesterone generation, embryo implantation and pregnancy maintenance. If the nucleotide sequence of the PPARG gene is changed, the PPARG gene may possibly have influence on the combination of the PPARgamma and a ligand and the activation of covalent modification, reduce the affinity of the PPARgamma/RXR alpha and PPRE upstream of a promoter of a gene related to energy homeostasis, further influence the transcriptional activity and expression of the PPARgamma, disturb the energy homeostasis and insulin sensitivity of the organism, and have influence on the reproductive physiological processes such as oestrus, ovulation, embryonic development and the like.

Example 2 correlation analysis and detection application of different genotypes and reproductive traits of Chinese Holstein cows
The PCR-SSCP assay was performed on 293 Chinese Holstein cows according to the method of example 1, and the results of the analysis of the 118bp locus of the sequence of the PPARG gene shown in SEQ ID NO.1 are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 analysis of genetic polymorphisms of SNP loci in the Chinese Holstein cow population
As can be seen from Table 1, the GG type individuals had the highest frequency in the test population, with G being the dominant allele. He was 0.4147 and PIC 0.3270, in the medium polymorphic state. Chi obtained by Pearson's Chi-square test2Is 19.71>χ0.012(df is 2) 9.21, then P<0.01, the test population deviates significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this site, suggesting that its mutations are affected by drift, selection and introduction.
Using SPSS software, calling a general linear model program, analyzing the correlation between the genotype of the SNP polymorphic site and the propagation character, and adopting a model: y isijkl=μ+Gi+Bj+Yk+MlWherein Y is a phenotypic value of a certain individual trait, μ is a mean value of a certain population trait, GiIs a gene

TABLE 2 correlation of SNP loci of PPARG genes of Chinese Holstein cows with reproductive traits (F test)
As can be seen from table 2, genotype significantly affected the first mating days after delivery (P <0.01), days without pregnancy (P <0.05) and conception index (P < 0.05).
Allelic additive, dominant and surrogate effects
Allele additive effects were calculated using the mean of 2 homozygous deviations:
allelic dominant effects were calculated using the dispersion of the mean of heterozygotes from 2 homozygotes:
mean effect of G allele instead of T allele: s ═ a + (q-p) d
Wherein p is the G allele frequency, q is the T allele frequency, and GG, TT and GT are the least square mean of the phenotypes of the genotypes respectively. The significance test for the allele substitution effect was calculated by regression of the reproductive traits to the T allele copy number (0, 1, 2) using a linear regression model (SPSS), defining genotypes TT, GT, and GG as 2, 1, and 0, respectively.
TABLE 3 least square mean value and standard error of PPARG gene of different genotypes of Chinese Holstein cow
In table 3, the same row of the same number has obvious difference in the form of different capital letters, and different capital letters have obvious difference; indicates significant difference (P <0.05) and indicates very significant difference (P < 0.01).
As can be seen from Table 3, the number of days of first mating after GG type delivery is significantly lower than that of GT type (P <0.05) and TT type (P < 0.01); the number of days of nonpregnant GG type is significantly lower than that of GT type (P < 0.05); the GG type 1 subtropical index is significantly lower than the GT type (P <0.01), and the 2 nd subtropical index is significantly lower than the GT type and the TT type (P < 0.05).
For the G allele, the additive effects of the first postnatal mating days, days of nonpregnant and conception index were-6.97 d, -11.2d and-0.215 t, respectively. The gene replacement effect is-8.83 d, -15.70d and-0.25T respectively, namely, the replacement of the T allele by each G allele can lead to 8.83 days of first mating days after delivery, 15.7 days of non-pregnant days and 0.25 time reduction of conception index. Allele G is a high reproductive performance dominant gene.
