Исследование было проведено на 88 головах ресурсной популяции овец, включающих два неродственных семейства, разводимых на территории Московской области с 2017 года. Каждое семейство состоит из барана-родоначальника породы катадин, романовских маток (матери), межпородных кроссов F1 и двух групп возвратных кроссов. Все животные были генотипированы с помощью ДНК-чипа высокой плотности Illumina Ovine Infinium® HD SNP BeadChip (~600 тысяч SNP-маркеров). В программе PLINK v.1.90 была проведена фильтрация SNP-маркеров и выполнен анализ PCA с визуализацией в R пакете ggplot2. Параметры генетического разнообразия (Ho, uHe, Ar, FIS) рассчи-таны в пакете R «diveRsity». Было показано, что оба кросса превосходят исходную материнскую породу по уровню генетического разнообразия. Кроссы F1 характеризуются наивысшим уровнем наблюдаемой гетерозиготности (Ho = 0,409-0,407), в то время как Ho составила от 0,382 до 0,396 у возвратных кроссов соответственно. Ожидаемая гетерозиготность варьировала от 0,329 до 0,356 в группах овец, составляющих ресурсную популяцию. Показатель аллельного разнообразия был довольно высоким во всех группах (более 1,849). PCA показал, что подобранные родительские породы являются контрастными, как и должно быть при успешной закладке ресурсной популяции. Дана фенотипическая характеристика возвратных кроссов по живой массе и девяти промерам туловища в 9, 42 и 90 дней. Коэффициенты вариации были наиболее высокими по живой массе (17,0-19,0%), длине туловища (15,5-22,3%) и косой длине туловища (16,2 и 22,7%) в 90 дней. Полученные результаты являются промежуточными и создают генотипическую и фенотипическую базу для проведения GWAS на следующем этапе нашего исследования.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article presents the results of assessment of genetic diversity and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in the re-source sheep population, originated from crossing of fast-growing (Katahdin) and slow growing (Romanov) breeds for QTL mapping and search for candidate genes associated with growth rate. The study was conducted on 88 sheep from the resource population, including two unrelated families that have been reared in the Moscow region since 2017. Each family consists of a Katahdin ram (founder), Romanov’s ewes (mothers), F1 hybrids, and two groups of backcrosses. All sheep were genotyped using a high-density DNA chip Illumina Ovine Infinium® HD SNP BeadChip (~ 600 thousand SNP markers). SNP markers were filtered in the PLINK v.1.90. PCA was performed in PLINK v.1.90 and visualized in R package ggplot2. The genetic diversity indices (Ho, uHe, Ar, FIS) were calculated in R package “diveRsity”. It was established that both crosses had higher level of genetic diversity in comparison with the mother breed. F1 hybrids were characterized by the highest level of observed heterozygosity (Ho = 0.409-0.407), while Ho ranged from 0.382 to 0.396 for the backcrosses, respectively. The expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.329 to 0.356 in the groups from the resource population. Allelic richness was high in all studied groups (more than 1.849). PCA showed that the mated parent breeds were highly differentiated, as it should be in successful establishment of the resource population. The phenotypic characteristic of the backcrosses on live weight and nine body measurements at 9, 42 and 90 days is given. The coefficients of variation were the highest by live weight (17.0-19.0%), body length (15.5-22.3%) and oblique body length (16.2% and 22.7%) at 90 days. The results are intermediate and create a geno-typic and phenotypic base to perform GWAS at the next stage of our study.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>SNP-генотипирование</kwd><kwd>ДНК-микроматрицы</kwd><kwd>генетическое разнообразие</kwd><kwd>популяция для картирования QTL</kwd><kwd>домашние овцы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>SNP genotyping</kwd><kwd>DNA microarrays</kwd><kwd>genetic diversity</kwd><kwd>QTL mapping population</kwd><kwd>domestic sheep</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена при финансовой поддержке РФФИ в рамках выполнения научного проекта № 17-29-08015.
