Observations • Large difference between selfing and random sibling mating. • Randomization was an important design decision in the CC. • Attempt to accelerate inbreeding using marker-assisted techniques. • Study impact of marker-assisted inbreeding on the genetic structure of the CC. 4
Backcross G2:F10 Change breeding scheme after 10 generations of random sib-matings to cross offspring with their parent; alternating sex of parent at each generation. Sib-Mating Pedigree Diagram Parent-Child Backcross Pedigree Diagram 5
Backcross 100,000 Simulations were done. No genotyping necessary. 33.5 38.2 141.2 145.1 6
Marker-Assisted Inbreeding (MAI) • Random sib-matings for 10 generations • Starting at generation 11: • Generate 4 female and 4 male offspring • Consider all 16 pair matings • Choose the “best” breeding pair 7
MAI DD Choosing the “Best” Breeding Pair • Consider all heterozygous regions • Calculate fraction of the genome that segregates in each pair of mice. • Take into account the different types of heterozygosity Each of the marked regions is some form of heterozygosity between the 2 animals. SS Ss = Opposite Homozygous DD = Both Heterozygous DS = One Heterozygous, One Homozygous SS = Same Homozygous Ss DS SS 8
MAI Metrics Relationship between a potential breeding pair at 1 allele Ss = Opposite Homozygous DD = Both Heterozygous DS = One Heterozygous, One Homozygous SS = Inbred 9
MAI Model is very conservative; assume every location fully informative 100,000 simulations 23.5 141.2 137.5 145.1 33.5 38.2 10 10
99% Fixation • 25.7 generations to reach 99% inbred with a regular 8-way cross • 23.5 generations to be 99% inbred using Backcrosses • 17.5 generations to be 99% inbred using MAI 17.6 23.5 25.7 11
MAI Impact Regular 8-way MAI 8-way 12
Starting Earlier Impact on Number of Generations Impact on Number of Segments 13
Maximizing Mapping Power • Advanced Intercross – Maximize # of segments for x generations, thereafter minimize heterozygosity until inbred. Impact on Number of Generations Impact on Number of Segments 14
Conclusion • 2 approaches to accelerating inbreeding • Backcrosses – slight speedup • MAI – dramatic acceleration • Both have small impact on # of segments (slight decrease) • Use of advanced intercross will increase # of segments • MAI techniques are currently being used at UNC with CC lines • 8 lines in various stages • Considering the use of backcrosses in more lines 15
