Overview

Randomized trial examines genetic diversity and admixture in Lucerna breed, highlighting its unique genomic profile.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the genetic diversity, admixture, and relationships within the Lucerna breed of Colombia.
  • DNA was extracted from 94 Lucerna and 10 Hartón del Valle (HV) animals.
  • Genetic analyses included the estimation of minor allele frequencies, ROH fragments, and Fst values.
  • PCA analysis and admixture estimation were performed between breeds.
  • Lucerna exhibited higher observed and expected heterozygosity compared to HV conservation nucleus (CN).
  • The average minor allele frequency was 0.31 for Lucerna and 0.28 for HV-CN.
  • Genetic diversity in HV-CN was lower than in Lucerna, aligning with FAO reports.
