Genetic Maps -with a Presentation of the Differences between Sheep and Goats Jill Maddox
Family Bovidae • 9 sub-families • ~140 species in 45 genera • ungulates, ruminants • found in a wide variety of habitats • sheep and goats belong to Caprinae sub-family • cattle, buffalo, bison belong to Bovinae sub-family • Caprinae and Bovinae diverged ~17 - 20 million years ago • Robertsonian translocations common in many bovid lineages different chromosome numbers
Sub-family Caprinae • Sheep • Goats • Chamois • Musk Ox • Ibex • Tahr • etc
“Sheep” • All Ovis “species” can interbreed • Domestic Sheep (Ovis aries), 2n=54 • > 200 breeds • European Mouflon sheep (Ovis musimon), 2n=54 • Asiatic Mouflon sheep (Ovis orientalis), 2n=54 • Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), 2n=54 • Dall’s sheep (Ovis (montana) dalli), 2n=54 • Siberian bighorn or Snow sheep (Ovis nivicola), 2n=52 • Giant wild sheep (Ovis ammon), 2n=56 • Oriental steppe or Urial sheep (Ovis vignei), 2n=58 • Barbary sheep or Aoudad (Ammotragus lervia), 2n=? • Blue sheep or Bharals (Pseudois nayaur), 2n=?
“Goats” • Domestic goat (Capra hircus), 2n=60 • ~100 breeds • Mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus), 2n=?
Sheep, Goat and Cattle Karyotypes • Sheep • 2n = 54 • Goat, Cattle • 2n = 60 • 3 centric fusion events account for the differences in chromosome number between sheep vs goats and cattle OAR1 = CHI/BTA 3 + 1, OAR2 = CHI/BTA 8 + 2, OAR3 = CHI/BTA 11 + 5 • Goat resembles sheep chromosomal morphology for OAR 8, 9 and X (CHI 9, 14 and X) rather than cattle

Principles of Linkage Analysis A B a b A b a B • Recombination occurs between homologous chromosomes during meiosis • Alleles of loci close together on a chromosome tend to be transmitted together from parent to offspring • Linked loci - recombination fraction is less than 50% • Unlinked loci - recombination fraction equal to 50% • 1 cM (1% recombination) approximates 1 Mb DNA • LOD scores of greater than 3 indicate loci are linked
Linkage Mapping Needs • sufficient animals from suitable pedigrees • an ideal pedigree consists of large 3-generation full-sibling families • when mapping a trait the cross should be between phenotypically divergent animals • a panel of polymorphic markers that span the genome • ideally all markers are highly polymorphic
GATC Linkage Map Marker Types - Microsatellites • markers of choice for gene mapping • tandem repeats of di-, tri-, tetra- or penta- nucleotide sequences • 50,000 - 100,000 / mammalian genome, randomly distributed • most common form is (CA)n • highly polymorphic • PCR based typing • score by size differences
Ovine CD5 microsatellite A C D F G H FH AD • direct incorporation of 33P-dATP, denaturing gel electrophoresis
Linkage Map Marker Types - Other • SSCP • RFLP • protein polymorphism • VNTR • SNP • phenotype for Mendelian (single gene) trait
Mapping Populations for Sheep and Goats • 3 sheep flocks used for genetic map development • CSIRO has also developed a flock • many QTL flocks • 1 goat herd used for genetic map development • mapping also done in other goat populations
Goat Mapping Herd • Developed by INRA France • 12, 2-generation families • 575 goats • Founding goats derived from the Suffolk, Romanov and Rambouillet breeds • Primarily developed to map the Polled Intersex Syndrome (PIS) • Vaiman et al., 1996 Genetics144: 279-305.
Goat Linkage Map • Male map • Cri-MAP • 219 markers 2,300 cM • Vaiman et al., 1996 Genetics144: 279-305. • sufficient to enable localisation of (PIS) to CHI 1 • 307 markers 2,737 cM • Schibler et al., 1998 Genome Research8: 901-915. • 41 goat markers, 49 sheep markers, 217 cattle markers • incomplete coverage - lots of gaps, no X chromosome
International Mapping Flock (IMF) • Developed by AgResearch, New Zealand • Nine, 3-generation, full-sibling families • produced by MOET • 127 sheep including 98 F2 offspring • Maximum of 222 informative meioses • All F2 progeny share a paternal grandsire • Founding sheep derived from the Texel, Coopworth, Perendale, Romney and Merino breeds • Crawford et al., 1995 Genetics140: 703-724.

X Chromosome Mapping Flock (XMF) • Developed by AgResearch, New Zealand • 14, 3-generation, half-sibling families • 480 sheep • Maximum of 912 informative meioses • Founding sheep derived from the Romney breed • Initially developed to map the Inverdale (FecI) gene • Galloway et al., 1996 Genome Research6: 667-677.

CSIRO Sheep Mapping Flock • Romney x Merino (Booroola) • 2 Romney rams with translocations:t1 (rob 6;24), t2 (rob 9;10) • all F1 rams and ewes had one of the translocations • the translocations affect the distribution of crossovers in heterozygotes but do not affect the map length of the chromosome (pers comm Ian Franklin) • MOET - full-sibling F2 families - 172 offspring • from 2 sires and 15 dams • also produced back-cross families - 231 offspring
Numbers of markers typed by groups • Many of the markers mapped by CAB were developed or provided by other groups (mainly CSIRO, INRA, USDA, AgResearch and Noelle Cockett).
Status of Sheep Linkage Map • the ovine genome spans approximately 3660 cM • autosomes - 3537 cM (sex av), X chromosome - 132 cM (female) • 1231 loci (1277 markers) on the IMF linkage map • additional 20 markers/loci mapped by USDA on MARC flock but not on IMF • 932 anonymous, 287 genes, 12 unidentified ESTs • 1129 microsatellites, 49 RAPDs, 7 proteins, 30 SSCPs, 57 RFLPs, 5 VNTRs • 700 (55%) cattle markers, 531 (42%) sheep markers, 50 (4%) goat markers • 643 markers on the framework map • 627 - autosomes; 16 - X
Distribution and informativeness of markers on SheepMap v4.2 (sex averaged)
Comparison of male and female chromosome lengths (SheepMap v4.2)
Comparing the sheep and goat maps • 218 loci in common • generally there is good agreement in placement of markers on equivalent chromosomes • exceptions • OarCP9 OAR 9 CHI 16 sequence >90% identity • OarHH2 OAR 21 CHI 16 cattle agrees with sheep • BM723 OAR 23 CHI 3 cattle agrees with goat • MAF48 OAR X CHI 19 • however lots of inversions in order and relative expansions/contractions of map regions
