BACKGROUND: The current cattle reference genome assembly, a pseudo-linear
sequence produced using sequences from a single Hereford cow, represents a
limitation when performing genetic studies, especially when investigating the
whole spectrum of genetic variations within the species. Detecting structural
variations (SVs) poses significant challenges when relying solely on conventional
methods of sequencing read mapping to the current bovine genome assembly.
RESULTS: In this study, we used long-reads (LR) and bioinformatic tools to
construct a comprehensive bovine pangenome, using as a backbone the Hereford
ARS-UCD1.2 reference genome assembly, and incorporating genetic diversity of 64
good quality de novo genome assemblies representing 14 French dairy and beef
cattle breeds. Using a combination of complementary approaches, we explored the
pangenome graph and identified 2.563 Gb of sequences common to all samples, and
cumulated 0.295 Gb of variable sequences. Notably, we discovered 0.159 Gb of
novel sequences not present in the current reference genome assembly. Our
analysis also revealed 109,275 SVs, of which 84,612 were bi-allelic. These
included 27,171 insertions and 24,592 deletions, while the remaining 32,849 SVs
corresponded to alternate allele sequences defined as sequence substitutions
between the reference genome and the sample sequence. Genome-wide association
studies using SNPs and a panel of 221 SVs, shared between the pangenome and the
EuroGMD chip, revealed well-known QTLs across the genome for the Holstein,
Montbéliarde and Normande breeds. Among those, a QTL on chromosome 11 presents an
SV with a highly significant effect on stature in the Holstein breed. This SV is
a 6.2 kb deletion affecting the 5'UTR, first exon and part of the first intron of
the MATN3 gene, suggesting a potential regulatory and coding effect. CONCLUSIONS:
Our study provides new insights into the genetic diversity of 14 French dairy and
beef breeds and highlights the utility of pangenome graphs in capturing
structural variation. The identified SV associated with stature highlights the
importance of integrating SVs into GWAS for a more comprehensive understanding of
complex traits.
