| Abstract: | In Angola, about 70% of the population relies on subsistence agriculture, with cattle
production crucial to the economy and culture of the southern regions. Local cattle
breeds face extinction due to crossbreeding with improved breeds or replacement by
exotic commercial breeds, risking the loss of unique genetic traits vital for adapting to
Angola's ecosystems.
This project aims to establish a biobank representing the genetic diversity of native cattle
biotypes, and to investigate its diversity using high-throughput genome sequencing, and
identify genetic markers linked to adaptive traits.
The project aims to collect samples from various parts of the country (Angola), in areas
where there are reports of biotypes (breeds) of autochthonous cattle. So far 68 samples
have been collected in provinces located in the Northwest, Southwest and Southeast of
the country. A total of six samples collected in Namibe and Cunene were sequenced,
generating a total of 339Gb of data, the depth reached was 10X for 4 samples and 30X
depth for two samples. The level of genetic diversity |
