Method for selecting pigs with excellent meat color trait}

The present invention relates to a method for providing information on the color of a pig and selecting a pig having a good color. More specifically, a polynucleotide represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 is isolated from a nucleic acid molecule in a pig. And identifying a base type of the 61st nucleotide of at least one polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of polynucleotides complementary thereto. will be.

The genomes of all organisms undergo spontaneous mutations that result in variants in the sequence of progeny during evolution (Gusella, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 55, 831-854, 1986). Variants may be evolutionarily beneficial or disadvantageous or neutral compared to progeny forms.

In some cases, variants may be fatally penalized and not passed on to their offspring. In other cases, it gives evolutionary benefit to the species, and eventually DNA is inserted into most of the species, effectively forming a ancestral form. In many cases, these ancestral forms and variants survive and coexist among species. By coexistence of plural forms of sequences, polymorphism occurs.

Such polymorphisms include restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), short tandem repeats (STR), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Dual SNPs (monobase polymorphisms) take the form of single nucleotide variations between individuals of the same species. When SNPs occur in the coding region sequence, a defective or mutated protein may be expressed by any of the polymorphic forms. In other cases, SNPs may occur in the non-coding region sequence. Some of these may result in the expression of defective or mutated proteins (eg, as a result of defective splicing). Some SNPs may have no effect on the phenotype.

If these SNPs affect the phenotype, the polynucleotides comprising the single base polymorph can be used as primers or probes to provide information about the phenotype or to select good phenotypes. Currently, several research institutes are conducting research on single base analysis and its functional analysis.

The quality of meat is finally determined by consumers, and in recent years, consumers 'tastes have also diversified with the rapid increase in meat consumption due to the improvement of consumers' living standards. Therefore, the goal of pig improvement is changing from meat-based improvement to meat quality for producing high quality pork, and the improvement of meat quality to meet the various needs of consumers is an important factor in the modern pig industry. have.

Factors affecting meat quality include year, conservatism, meat color, texture, post-pH change, and shear force, and most of these meat traits are not easy to obtain phenotypic results because traits can only be measured by slaughter. Economically expensive. Particularly, in order to select good breeding traits, it is necessary to obtain information on the traits of the livestock without harming the livestock, since the livestock must be kept healthy and obtain information on the traits. .

As one of these means, the discovery of genes related to traits and researches on the relationship between SNPs and traits are being actively conducted. Until now, some genes or markers have been used in the pig industry, but their utilization is insufficient.

Therefore, as a means of obtaining information on the traits of livestock without harming the livestock, it is necessary to discover SNPs that are closely related to the traits for various traits of the livestock.

The method of the present invention applies to swine (Sus scrofa) and includes all breeds of pigs used for food. For example, the pig of the present invention may be a Korean native pig, Landrace, Yorkshire, Berkshire, Hampshire and their hybrids. Preferably, it may be F2 of the reference herb constructed by hybridizing Korean native pigs and land race breeds.

In step (a), the nucleic acid molecules of the pig are separated from the pig.

Nucleic acid molecules of the present invention include all genomic DNA, cDNA and RNA molecules, the nucleotides constituting the nucleic acid molecule also includes common nucleotides in nature and analogues in which sugar or base sites are modified.

Nucleic acid molecules of the present invention can be obtained from various tissues of pigs. The tissue from which the nucleic acid molecule can be obtained may be obtained from, for example, muscle, epidermis, blood, bone, or organ tissue, and preferably from muscle or blood. Separation of the nucleic acid molecule of the present invention from pigs can be separated by methods known in the art.

For example, it can be done by directly purifying DNA from tissue or cells or by specifically amplifying and isolating a specific region using an amplification method such as PCR.

In step (b), the base type of the 61st nucleotide of one or more polynucleotides selected from the group consisting of polynucleotides represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 and complementary polynucleotides is identified from the isolated swine nucleic acid molecule.

The base types of the 61 nucleotides of SEQ ID NOs: 1-6 and complementary polynucleotides are highly associated with the meat color trait of swine.

The inventors have found for the first time that the 61st nucleotide of the polynucleotide represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 is highly related to the pig's color trait.

Meat color refers to the color of meat. In general, beef is important for redness, and pork is the main criterion. The color of the present invention is represented by CIE-L value indicating brightness in the Commission Internationale d'clairage (CIE) Lab. CIE-L ranges from +100 (white) to 0 (grey) to -100 (black). In general, pork CIE-L is usually in the range of 47-55. In general, pigs are measured by taking a fillet in a semiconductor state.

According to the method of the present invention, it is possible to select sows that can adjust the color of the group in the desired direction in consideration of the color of the group already held.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the DNA of 551 pigs was extracted, and the base type of the 61st nucleotide of the polynucleotide represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 of the present invention was examined and compared with the meat color information of the corresponding pig. The change in color was determined according to the base type.

As a result, as shown in the following [Table 1], the base type of the 61st nucleotide of the polynucleotide represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 was related to meat color, and it was confirmed that the degree of meat color was excellent according to the type.

In the above table, + means that the color of the base is superior to the influence value compared to the case of having the base type indicated by-.

For example, the sequence number 1 was obtained by regression analysis of the additive effects of genes for AA, AG, and GG types. The influence value corresponds to the slope of the regression equation.

Therefore, according to the method of the present invention, the nucleic acid molecule of the pig is separated from the isolated nucleic acid molecule of the pig, wherein the polynucleotides represented by SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 6 and the polynucleotides complementary thereto are selected from the 61st one or more polynucleotides Checking the base type of the nucleotides shows whether the pig's meat color is superior to that of the average pig, and meat color is closely related to the meat's meat, resulting in information about the meat's meat color and meat quality. have.

In particular, the method of the present invention can know information about meat color without killing pigs, and can select sows having excellent meat color traits.

The method of identifying the base type of the nucleotide in step (b) may be by a method known in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, direct sequencing of DNA, TaqMan assays, molecular beacon assays, allele-specific primer extensions (ASPEs), alleles- Specific PCR (AS-PCR), arrayed primer extension (APEX), homogeneous primer extension assays, pyrosequencing, restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), SBE-Tag assay (single base extension-tag assay), invader assay, ligation-rolling circle amplification (L-RCA) or DNA microarray (nucleotide microarray) method, such as can be confirmed.

The identification of such nucleotide base types is called single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, and these SNP gene typing methods are described in Chen et al., “Single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping: biochemistry, protocol, cost and throughput”, Pharmacogenomics J. 2003; 3 (2): 77-96; Kwok et al., “Detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms”, Curr Issues Mol. Biol. 2003 April; 5 (2): 43-60; Shi, “Technologies for individual genotyping: detection of genetic polymorphisms in drug targets and endometriosis genes”, Am J Pharmacogenomics. 2002; 2 (3): 197-205; and Kwok, “Methods for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms” Annu Rev Genomes Hum Genet 2001; 2: 235-58. Examples of high-throughput SNP gene typing are described in Marnellos, “High-throughput SNP analysis for gene association studies. ”, Curr Opin Drug Discov Devel. 2003 May; 6 (3): 317-21.

It may include.

A DNA chip is a small number of nucleic acids, such as DNA, DNA fragments, cDNAs, oligonucleotides, etc., that can serve as probes on small solid substrates made of glass, silicon, or nylon. It refers to a biological microchip that can detect the base type of the nucleotides contained in the sample DNA by attaching and arranged at regular intervals up to hundreds of thousands. The nucleic acids contained in the sample and the probes immobilized on the surface are combined to different degrees depending on the degree of complementarity of the nucleotide sequence to form a hybridization state. By simultaneously detecting and interpreting the information, the information on the nucleic acid contained in the sample can be obtained. Can be.

In analysis via DNA microarrays, the DNA chip of the invention comprises one or more probes complementary to a sequence comprising the nucleotide to be identified. The nucleotide to be identified refers to the polynucleotide represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 and the 61st nucleotide of the polynucleotide complementary thereto.

The hybridization signal of the sequence including the probe and the nucleotide to be identified is detected to directly determine whether the SNP variant is present. By probe is meant a linear oligomer having naturally occurring or modified monomers or bonds, including deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides that can hybridize to a particular nucleotide sequence. The probe is preferably single stranded for optimal hybridization. The probe is preferably deoxy ribonucleotide. As the probe used in the present invention, a sequence that is perfectly complementary to a sequence including a nucleotide to be identified may be used, but a sequence that is substantially complementary to a range that does not prevent specific hybridization is used. May be

Genotyping

DNA was extracted from the blood of 551 pigs containing meat color and production data using Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega, Madison, Wis., USA). Reference family is widely used to discover genes related to traits. The pigs used were F2 individuals of the reference herb, constructed by hybridizing Korean native pigs and land races. In the measurement, pigs were taken from a sirloin portion, which is generally used for meat analysis, in a semiconductor state after slaughter.

The lowest surveyed meat color in this group was 34.65 and the highest was 67.07. Pork has a better color as the CIE-L value approaches 50.

SNP genotyping was performed on the extracted DNA using iSelect Infinium Porcine ArrayChips (Illumina, San Diego, USA) consisting of 62,163 SNP information.

The analysis was performed using the Sentrix BeadChip Array 12-sample HD DNA Analysis BC Porcine SNP60 (Cat. No. WG-410-1001) from Illumina according to the kit's user manual. Chip Scan was performed using Illumina iScan ^TM System.

SNP discovery related to meat color-statistical analysis

All SNP data obtained were tested using the R / SNPassoc package. Tests that did not match Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) and minor allele frequency (MAF) to certain conditions (HWE: P <0.05, MAF: <10%) were excluded from the whole genome association analysis. It was. The association between the color phenotype and the SNP marker was verified by single marker regression analysis.

Significant SNPs were selected using the R-association package (R / assoc package) as an additive effect of the SNP markers on the color phenotype.

<Equation 1> y = Xb + Za + e

y is the phenotype vector for fixed effects (parts that have a fixed effect on analysis, such as sex and age), including gender and age at carcass, X is the incidence matrix for SNP, and b is a single SNP genotype. The regression coefficient vector for, Z is the connection matrix for the animal effect (random effects between objects), a is the vector for the individual effect, and e is the vector for the residual.

In order to find the optimal SNP combination related to meat color among the significant SNPs selected through Equation 1, the multiple regression analysis including the first significant SNPs as an argument of the equation is performed using the ASReml program. Analyzes according to>.

<Equation 2> y = Xβ + Za + Zqi + e

y is a phenotype vector, β is a regression coefficient for fixed effects, a is a random animal effect, q is all significant SNPs (QTL) detected in Equation 1, and e is a random residual effect.

For statistical inference, Benjamini and Hochberg ("Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing" Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B (Methodological) 57 (1): 289300) presented for complex hypothesis testing. One false discovery rate (FDR) was used for the calculation and all significant values were calculated at the 5% chromosome-wise FDR level.

As a result, as shown in [Table 2], two, one and three chromosomes of chromosomes No. 1 and No. 16 were detected on chromosomes No. 1 and No. 16 among the 62,163 SNPs present in the total porcine genome. (chromosome-wise P <0.05).

In addition, as a result of measuring the relationship between the detected SNP change and the color trait, it was confirmed that there is a significant relationship with the color trait as shown in [Table 3].

The estimated values in Table 3 are the color values that change when the SNP changes to minor nucleotides.

The estimated values (impact values) in [Table 3] are obtained by regression analysis of the additive effects of genes on AA, AG, and GG types through genotyping of each individual (for example, SEQ ID NO: 1). Corresponds to the slope of.

The SNP shown in the serial number 1 of chromosome 1 was confirmed that the average CIE-L level increased by 0.79 as compared with the case of GG in AA (all corresponding SNPs of two homologous chromosomes A).

SNP shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 of chromosome 1 increased by 1.02 CIE-L on average compared to TT in CC, and SNP shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 of chromosome 16 in CC Compared to 1.01, the SNP shown in SEQ ID NO: 4 of chromosome 18 is increased by 0.79 compared to the case of CC in TT, and the SNP shown in SEQ ID NO: 5 of chromosome 18 is AA in GG. Compared to the case of 1.04, the SNP shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 of the chromosome 18 was confirmed that the increase in the color lightness by increasing the CIE-L value of about 2.03 compared to the case of TT CC.

These genotypes can be used to predict meat color, which is expected to be effective as a DNA marker for selection of sows with excellent color traits.
