Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.0K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.

Area of Science:

  • Animal Genetics
  • Livestock Science
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Residual feed intake (RFI) is a crucial economic trait in livestock and poultry breeding.
  • The genetic regulation of RFI in sheep remains largely uncharacterized, hindering genetic improvement efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the genetic regulatory mechanisms of RFI in Hu lambs.
  • To identify candidate genes and genetic variants associated with feed efficiency (FE) in sheep.

Main Methods:

  • Phenotypic measurement of feed efficiency-related traits in 137 male Hu lambs.
  • Liver transcriptome analysis of lambs with extreme RFI values (high vs. low).
  • Differential gene expression analysis, pathway enrichment, and SNP scanning for candidate genes (ADRA2A, RYR2).

Main Results:

  • 101 differentially expressed genes were identified between low-RFI and high-RFI groups.
  • Downregulated genes were linked to immune function; upregulated genes were associated with energy metabolism.
  • Two synonymous mutations in ADRA2A and RYR2 were significantly associated with feed conversion rate.

Conclusions:

  • This study elucidates molecular mechanisms underlying FE regulation in sheep.
  • Identified ADRA2A and RYR2 genes and specific variants offer potential targets for genetic improvement of FE in sheep populations.
