概括
这项研究调查了与霍尔斯坦牛乳腺炎病原体相关的单核酸多态 (SNP). 六个SNP与埃斯库林阳性链球菌,凝结酶阴性葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌的存在有关,有可能改善疾病耐药性.
科学领域:
- 动物遗传学动物遗传学
- 兽医微生物学 兽医微生物学
- 乳制品科学 乳制品科学
背景情况:
- 牛乳炎是一个重大的经济问题,通常是由特定的细菌病原体引起的,如埃斯库林阳性链球菌 (SC+),凝结酶阴性葡萄球菌 (CNS) 和大肠杆菌 (E. coli).
- 之前的研究已经确定了10个单核酸多态 (SNP),与体细胞评分 (SCS) 和霍尔斯坦牛的一般乳腺炎发病率有关.
研究的目的:
- 评估之前识别的SNP与霍尔斯坦牛中单个乳腺炎病原体 (SC+,中枢神经系统,大肠杆菌) 的存在之间的关联.
- 确定特定的SNP,可以作为抗常见乳腺炎引起的细菌的遗传标记.
主要方法:
- 来自3076头荷尔斯坦牛的牛奶和病原体样本被分析以确定SC+,中枢神经系统和大肠杆菌的存在.
- 统计方法包括拉索,向后和向前选择,ROC曲线,Cochran-Armitage (CAT) 和Jonckheere-Terpstra (JTT) 测试,以及通用线性混合模型 (GLMM) 被用于评估SNP关联.
- 使用病例控制设计,病原体阳性样本作为病例,病原体阴性样本作为对照.
主要成果:
- 在10个测试的SNP中,有6个使用前选择方法显示了与病原体存在的显著关联.
- 两种SNP与SC+相关,两种与中枢神经系统相关,三种与大肠杆菌相关.
- 两种SNP (中枢神经系统的rs41634110和大肠杆菌的rs109441194) 被GLMM证实,分别解释了13.2%和13.8%的差异.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
12.5K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
14.1K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
