    Turkey's biological diversity is considerable because of its biogeographical positions, therefore it is plentiful in terms of diversity in animal genetic resources. Genetic diversity is important in sustainable breeding and conservation programs in livestock. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic structure of Yalova genotype, Kivircik, Tahirova and Es,me sheep breed by using twenty microsatellite markers. A total of 223 Turkish native unrelated sheep (Yalova, Kivircik, Tahirova and Es,me) which were raised in sixteen flocks located in four different provinces (Kirklareli, canakkale, Yalova ve Us,ak) were investigated. A total of 543 alleles were found. The number of loci showed deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ranged from 11 (Kivircik) to 17 (Yalova). Although a total of 183 private alleles were detected, only 21 of them had allele frequency above 0.05. The number of observed alleles differed from 42 (for OarFCB20 and ILSTS5) to 20 (for OarCP34 and DRBP1). The highest Ne and PIC values (19.23 and 0.95, respectively) were also observed for ILSTS5 locus. While expected heterozygosity (He) ranged between 0.83-0.95, observed heterozygosity differed from 0.69-0.95. These results can be used for the initiation of registration studies for Yalova after combining phenotypic data evaluations.

    Indigenous breeds have a high level of genetic diversity that might contribute to develop animal breeds with desired traits such as disease resistance and high productivity. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a key component of adaptive immune system and consists of highly polymorphic genes that take part in adaptive immune response and disease resistance. Exploring and understanding the effect of polymorphisms in MHC could be beneficial to future animal breeding strategies. In this study, we sequenced the highly polymorphic Exon2 of the ovine DRB1 gene using Sanger sequencing to explore the diversity of this gene in six indigenous Turkish sheep breeds and two crossbreeds. In total, 894 haplotypes from 447 sheep were investigated, and 69 different haplotypes including 27 novel ones were identified. Among the identified haplotypes there were common and breed specific haplotypes. There was a relatively high diversity of the alleles within indigenous breeds. Allelic diversity patterns were mostly associated with geographical differences. The results of this study highlight the genetic variation within indigenous breeds which has important implications for biodiversity and the adaptability of breeds to specific environments. There is value to further studies which include other genomic regions and traits, and these could guide breeding strategies.

    Scrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy caused by prions and leads to neurodegeneration in the Central Nervous System (CNS) of sheep and goats. Genetic resistance/susceptibility to scrapie is well studied and it is known that the variations of 136th, 154th and 171st codons at the ovine PRNP gene have a major effect on the development of the disease. Many studies demonstrated that selection for PRNP genotypes has not influenced other performance traits, nevertheless, there is a knowledge gap about the possible link between the PRNP gene and the status of the other important diseases that affect the sheep population worldwide. In the present study, we tested whether there is an association between scrapie-related PRNP genotypes and fecal egg count (FEC) of gastrointestinal nematodes in seven adult Turkish sheep breeds. For this purpose, FEC scores of studied sheep (n = 253) were determined and the same animals were genotyped for the PRNP gene. Finally, an association analysis was performed for scrapie resistant (ARR), susceptible (VRQ), and wild-type (ARQ) haplotypes. Based on our statistical analysis, it is concluded that PRNP genotypes have no positive or negative effect on the FEC scores of adult sheep.

    Genome-wide association studies of somatic cell count in the assaf breed
    (Mdpi, 2021-06-01) Serrano, Malena; Sarto, Pilar; Iguacel, Laura Pilar; Piquer-Sabanza, Maria; Estrada, Olaia; Juan, Teresa; Calvo, Jorge Hugo; Öner, Yasemin; ÖNER, YASEMİN; Ziraat Fakültesi; 0000-0002-2904-8986; ABB-3181-2020
    Simple Summary Mastitis causes economic loss due to discarded milk and reduced milk production and quality, increased medical care costs and somatic cell count (SCC) penalties. The use of genetic markers associated with the variability of this trait through marker-assisted selection (MAS) could help traditional methods. Our objectives were to identify new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes associated with mastitis resistance in Assaf sheep by using the Illumina Ovine Infinium (R) HD SNP BeadChip (680K). Firstly, corrected phenotype estimates for somatic cell score (SCS) were calculated using 6173 records from 1894 multiparous Assaf ewes, and were used to select 192 extreme animals (low SCS group: n = 96; and high SCS group: n = 96) for the genome-wide association study (GWAS). Four SNPs (rs419096188, rs415580501, rs410336647, and rs424642424), three of them totally linked, were found to be significant at the chromosome level (FDR 10%) in two different regions of OAR19 close to genes related to the immune system response. Validation studies of two SNPs (rs419096188 and rs424642424) by Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) genotyping in the total population (n = 1894) confirmed previous GWAS association results for the SCS trait. Finally, the SNP rs419096188 was also associated with lactose content trait. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to identify new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes associated with mastitis resistance in Assaf sheep by using the Illumina Ovine Infinium HD SNP BeadChip (680K). In total, 6173 records from 1894 multiparous Assaf ewes with at least three test day records and aged between 2 and 7 years old were used to estimate a corrected phenotype for somatic cell score (SCS). Then, 192 ewes were selected from the top (n = 96) and bottom (n = 96) tails of the corrected SCS phenotype distribution to be used in a GWAS. Although no significant SNPs were found at the genome level, four SNPs (rs419096188, rs415580501, rs410336647, and rs424642424) were significant at the chromosome level (FDR 10%) in two different regions of OAR19. The SNP rs419096188 was located in intron 1 of the NUP210 and close to the HDAC11 genes (61 kb apart), while the other three SNPs were totally linked and located 171 kb apart from the ARPP21 gene. These three genes were related to the immune system response. These results were validated in two SNPs (rs419096188 and rs424642424) in the total population (n = 1894) by Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) genotyping. Furthermore, rs419096188 was also associated with lactose content.

    The aim of this study was to investigate the gene and genotype distributions of some mutations in the aromatase cytochrome P450 (CYP19), estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha), and progesterone receptor (PGR) genes in fertile and subfertile Holstein-Friesian heifers using the PCR-RFLP method and comparing the distributions between groups. A total of 106 heifers were included the study, and the heifers that became pregnant after the first artificial insemination (n=51) were used as a fertile group. Heifers (n=55) with equal and more than 3 AIs were accepted as a subfertile heifers. Blood samples from all of the heifers were obtained for DNA isolation. While two alleles and three genotypes were found at the PGR and ER alpha loci, two alleles and two genotypes were detected at the CYP19 locus. The A allele and AA genotype, G allele and GG genotype, and C allele and CT genotype were found to be predominant in CYP19, ER alpha and PGR, respectively. According to the chi-square test (chi(2)), two of the groups investigated were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for all gene loci. There were no differences detected in allele or genotype frequencies between the fertile and subfertile heifers.

    Analysis for prioritizing risk status and sustainable utilization of cattle, sheep, and goat breeds in Turkiye
    (Tübitak Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu Türkiye, 2023-01-01) Yıldırır, Mesut; Koncagül, Seyrani; Öner, Yasemin; Akın, Ayşe Oya; ÖNER, YASEMİN; Ziraat Fakültesi; Zootekni Bölümü; ABB-3181-2020
    Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) are a warranty for future unknown conditions and needs. Due to this fact, sustainable use and conservation of AnGR have special importance, and to achieve reliable programs for these goals, the risk status of AnGR should be estimated accurately. The aim of this study was to estimate the risk status for three widely used domesticated livestock species of cattle, sheep, and goat in animal production: 6 cattle, 33 sheep, and 15 goat breeds were included in the analysis. Extinction probability (z) was taken as a criterion for the risk status of each breed. Data collection based on survey realized with 215 farmers, field observations and personal interviews were performed for different provinces between 2014 and 2017. Extinction probabilities estimated were ranged from 0.53 to 0.90 with an average of 0.71 for native cattle breeds. cine caparu sheep and Abaza goat had the highest extinction probabilities of 0.97 and 0.87, respectively, while Kul goat and Ivesi sheep breeds had the lowest probabilities of 0.37 and 0.40, respectively. Present study demonstrated that risk analyses of survey data sets may provide useful information concerning the decision-making on conservation efforts for endangered breeds. It should be monitored risk status for breeds to create efficient conservation investments. Considering the limited resources, it is undeniable that while some breeds continued to protect, some others would be removed from conservation programs. To make this task an appropriate manner extinction probability may be used as a criterion for decision-making.

    A novel 2 bp deletion variant in ovine DRB1 gene is associated with increased visna/maedi susceptibility in Turkish sheep
    (Nature Portfolio, 2021-07-14) Yaman, Yalçın; Bay, Veysel; Aymaz, Ramazan; Keleş, Murat; Öner, Yasemin; Teferedegn, Eden Yıtna; Ün, Cemal; Öner, Yasemin; ÖNER, YASEMİN; Ziraat Fakültesi; JKO-1528-2023
    Visna/maedi (VM) is a multisystemic lentivirus infection of sheep that affecting sheep industry across the globe. TMEM154 gene has been identified to be a major VM-associated host gene, nevertheless, a recent study showed that the frequency of the VM-resistant TMEM154 haplotypes was very low or absent in indigenous sheep. Thus, the present study was designed to determine other possible co-receptors associated with VM. For this purpose, DRB1 gene, which is renowned for its role in host immune response against various diseases was targeted. A total number of 151 case-control matched pairs were constructed from 2266 serologically tested sheep. A broad range of DRB1 haplotype diversity was detected by sequence-based genotyping. Moreover, a novel 2 bp deletion (del) in the DRB1 intron 1 was identified. For the final statistic, the sheep carrying VM-resistant TMEM154 diplotypes were removed and a McNemar's test with a matched pairs experimental design was conducted. Consequently, it was identified for the first time that the 2 bp del variant is a genetic risk factor for VM (p value 0.002; chi-square 8.31; odds ratio 2.9; statistical power 0.90) in the dominant model. Thus, negative selection for 2 bp del variant could decrease VM infection risk in Turkish sheep.

    Genetic diversity and population structure of Turkish native cattle breeds
    (South African Journal Of Animal Sciences, 2019-01-01) Yilmaz, O.; Ata, N.; Koncagül, S.; Öner, Y.; ÖNER, YASEMİN; Eris, Cüneyt; Ünal, Cihan; ÜNAL, CİHAN; Ziraat Fakültesi; Veteriner Fakültesi; EAB-3526-2022; ABB-3181-2020; CNZ-7411-2022
    Cattle are an important livestock species for human life, but certain breeds are at risk of extinction. Maintaining genetic diversity plays an important role in sustainable breeding and conservation programmes in farm animals. The aim of this study was to determine genetic diversity among five Turkish native cattle breeds. A total of 199 Turkish native cattle of the Native Southern Yellow (n = 40), South Anatolian Red (n = 40), Anatolian Grey Cattle (n = 40), Native Black Cattle (n = 39) and East Anatolian Red (n = 40) breeds were investigated using 22 autosomal microsatellite markers. The analysis revealed considerable genetic variation among these breeds. All loci were polymorphic, and a total of 545 alleles were found. Among these loci, only INRA032 was at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Thirty-four private alleles with frequencies greater than 5% were found. Expected heterozygosity and polymorphic information content indexes were 0.87 and 0.88, respectively. Native Southern Yellow, South Anatolian Red and Native Black Cattle breeds were closely related.
