摘　　要： 【目的】选择信号是物种在进化过程中,经历长期的自然和人工选择在基因组上所留下的印迹。选择信号检测不仅能反映选择对品种培育的作用,还可以作为重要经济性状QTL定位的一个有效方法。苏尼特羊是中国内蒙古地区一个优良的地方绵羊品种,适应于恶劣的戈壁自然环境条件。对苏尼特羊全基因组选择信号检测,不仅能够寻找受正向选择(positive selection)相关的候选基因,揭示重要经济性状的遗传机制,还能为苏尼特羊品种培育过程中受正向选择的性状所经历过长期的人工选育提供遗传学证据。【方法】基于Illumina Ovine SNP50K芯片利用基于单倍型信息的单倍型积分值(integrated haplotype score,iHS)方法对苏尼特羊进行全基因组选择信号检测。首先对SNP芯片数据进行经过质控和单倍型推断后,共剩余42 616个SNP标记用于连锁不平衡(linkage disequilibrium,LD)分析和单倍型推断。然后按照祖先等位基因信息进一步筛选后得到30 537个SNP标记估计用于选择信号检测iHS值,并再以500kb长度作为为一个窗口进行划分一个选择区段,计算窗口内iHS均值,然后进行显著性检验。对具有显著|iHS|值的选择区段基因组区域进行基因注释,并对所检测的候选基因进行GO富集分析。【结果】构建了苏尼特羊的连锁不平衡衰减图谱,发现LD值随着两标记间距离的增大而减小,但也发现某些远距离标记之间存在较高水平的连锁不平衡。通过iHS方法在全基因组范围内共检测到204个具有选择信号的基因组区段,这些区段内与845个候选基因紧密相关。其中有与绵羊角的缺失相关的RXFP2基因,调控一系列控制绵羊毛色基因的ASIP,参与机体神经系统发育的HTR4和SOX10,与胚胎时期神经嵴发育密切相关的SOX10,可以激活骨调控中转录因子12进而调节骨骼发育的E2F2,对骨骼与肌肉的发育和形成相关的PLA2G6,促进核糖体蛋� [ Objective] Selection signatures are the selective footprints across the genome because of the effects of selection in the process of species under natural and artificial selection. It could not only reflect the effect of selection in new breed cultivation but also used as a method for QTL mapping which is correlated with economically important traits. Sunite sheep is one of the excellent indigenous sheep breeds distributed in Inner Mongolia through long time artificial selection-, which could adapt to the harsh Gobi natural environment condition. Selection signature detection could be used to search candidate genes due to positive selection and reveal genetic mechanism of economically important traits. Moreover, it could provide genetic evidences for traits undergoing positive selection for a long time in the breed formation process of Sunite sheep. [Method] The integrated haplotype score （illS） method was used to detect genomic selection signatures in the Sunite sheep population based on the Illumina Ovine SNP50K BeadChip data. After quality control, 42616 SNP markers were retained for linkage disequilibrium （LD） analysis and haplotype construction. According to ancestral allelic information, 30537 SNP makers were left to calculate the illS values. All the illS values within one window with 500kb length, which was split the whole genome into non-overlapping segments, were averaged. After significant test, the genomic regions with selection signals were annotated. To investigate the biological fimction of candidate genes, gene ontology enrichment analysis was carried out. [Result] The LD decay map of Sunite sheep was constructed. Linkage disequilibrium analysis suggested that LD decreased with marker distances increase, but few pair markers with long distance had high LD levels. There were 204 genomic regions with selection signatures harboring 845 candidate genes were detected. For example, RXFP2 confers the absence of horns in sheep and ASIP could regulate a series of alleles for black and white coat
