AB  - Preserving diversity of indigenous pig (Sus scrofa) breeds is a key factor to (i) sustain the pork chain
(both at local and global scales) including the production of high-quality branded products, (ii) enrich
the animal biobanking and (iii) progress conservation policies. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
chips ofer the opportunity for whole-genome comparisons among individuals and breeds. Animals
from twenty European local pigs breeds, reared in nine countries (Croatia: Black Slavonian, Turopolje;
France: Basque, Gascon; Germany: Schwabisch-Hällisches Schwein; Italy: Apulo Calabrese, Casertana,
Cinta Senese, Mora Romagnola, Nero Siciliano, Sarda; Lithuania: Indigenous Wattle, White Old Type;
Portugal: Alentejana, Bísara; Serbia: Moravka, Swallow-Bellied Mangalitsa; Slovenia: Krškopolje pig;
Spain: Iberian, Majorcan Black), and three commercial breeds (Duroc, Landrace and Large White) were
sampled and genotyped with the GeneSeek Genomic Profler (GGP) 70 K HD porcine genotyping chip.
A dataset of 51 Wild Boars from nine countries was also added, summing up to 1186 pigs (~49 pigs/
breed). The aim was to: (i) investigate individual admixture ancestries and (ii) assess breed traceability
via discriminant analysis on principal components (DAPC). Albeit the mosaic of shared ancestries
found for Nero Siciliano, Sarda and Moravka, admixture analysis indicated independent evolvement

AB  - ROHs are long stretches of DNA homozygous at each polymorphic position. The proportion of
genome covered by ROHs and their length are indicators of the level and origin of inbreeding.
Frequent common ROHs within the same population define ROH islands and indicate hotspots of
selection. In this work, we investigated ROHs in a total of 1131 pigs from 20 European local pig
breeds and in three cosmopolitan breeds, genotyped with the GGP Porcine HD Genomic Profiler.
PLINK software was used to identify ROHs. Size classes and genomic inbreeding parameters were evaluated. ROH islands were defined by evaluating different thresholds of homozygous SNP
frequency. A functional overview of breed-specific ROH islands was obtained via overrepresentation analyses of GO biological processes. Mora Romagnola and Turopolje breeds had the largest proportions of genome covered with ROH (~1003 and ~955 Mb respectively),
whereas Nero Siciliano and Sarda breeds had the lowest proportions (~207 and 247 Mb
respectively). The highest proportion of long ROH (>16 Mb) was in Apulo-Calabrese, Mora
Romagnola and Casertana. The largest number of ROH islands was identified in the Italian
Landrace (n=32), Cinta Senese (n=26) and LithuanianWhite Old Type (n=22) breeds. Several
ROH islands were in regions encompassing genes known to affect morphological traits.
Comparative ROH structure analysis among breeds indicated the similar genetic structure of
local breeds across Europe. This study contributed to understanding of the genetic history of the
investigated pig breeds and provided information to manage these pig genetic resources.

AB  - In the frame of the European TREASURE* project, the genetic characterization of 20 local pig breeds is being performed with genetic and genomic tools. The objectives are the study of genetic diversity in these populations and the identification of useful markers for authentication, traceability, conservation and breeding programs. In first place, a candidate gene approach has been applied and the most relevant genes and mutations associated with pig productive, meat quality, reproductive and disease resistance traits have  been prioritized and analyzed. Two OpenArray® chips of 32 and 16 SNPs were designed and genotyped in 48 animals from each one of 20 breeds included in the project (Alentejana, Apulo Calabrese, Basque, Bísaro, Black Majorcan, Black Sicilian, Black Slavonian, Casertana, Cinta Senese, Gascon, Iberian, Krskopolje, Lithuanian indigenous wattle, Mangalitsa, Mora Romagnola, Moravka, Old Lithuanian White, Sarda, Schwäbisch Hällisches, Turopolje). Forty SNPs located in 34 genes were successfully genotyped (MC1R, TYRP1, NR6A, PCK1, RYR1, IGF2, MC4R, PHKG1, SCD, GBP5, TAS2R39, TAS2R4, MUC4, ESR1, CYP2E1, LEP, CAST, MTTP, CYB5A, FTO, PPARGC1A, CAPN1, PPARD, CTSL, LEPR, PRKAG3, ACACA, KIT, ACSL4, ADIPOQ, FASN, AHR, FUT1, MSTN). Results provide relevant information regarding genetic diversity and segregation of SNPs responsible for specific production and quality traits. Coat color and morphological trait-genes, showing low level of segregation, and fixed SNPs may be useful for traceability. On the other hand, we detected SNPs which may be useful for breeding programs. For instance, we observed predominance of unfavorable alleles for disease resistance and boar taint genes in most breeds, and segregation of many genes involved in meat quality, fatness and growth. These results joint with ongoing genomic assays, will provide essential information regarding genetic diversity, structure, selective signatures and biological processes responsible for specific production and quality traits.
