SNPs genotypes of Italian wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations

Human activities can globally modify natural ecosystems determining ecological, demographic and range perturbations for several animal species. These changes can jeopardize native gene pools in different ways, leading either to genetic homogenization or, conversely, to the split into genetically divergent demes. Â In the past decades, most European wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations were heavily managed by humans. Anthropic manipulations have strongly affected also Italian populations through heavy hunting, translocations and reintroductions that might have deeply modified their original gene pools. Â In this study, exploiting the availability of the well-mapped porcine genome, we applied genomic tools to explore genome-wide variability in Italian wild boar populations, investigate their genetic structure and detect signatures of possible introgression from domestic pigs and non-native wild boar. Genomic data from 134 wild boar sampled in six areas of peninsular Italy and in...人类活动可在全球尺度上改变自然生态系统，对多种动物物种造成生态、种群统计及分布范围的扰动。此类变化可通过多种途径威胁本土基因库，或引发遗传同质化，反之则会分化为遗传分化的同类群（deme）。 过去数十年间，多数欧洲野猪（Sus scrofa）种群受到人类的高强度管控。人为干预同样对意大利野猪种群造成了显著影响：高强度狩猎、个体迁地转移及再引入等措施，可能已深刻重塑了其原始基因库。 本研究依托已高精度绘制的猪参考基因组，运用基因组学工具探究意大利野猪种群的全基因组变异特征，解析其遗传结构，并检测来自家猪及非本土野猪的潜在基因渐渗信号。研究共采集了134份野猪样本，采样点覆盖意大利半岛6个区域以及……
