Pinan cattle, as the progeny of crossbreeding improvement between Nanyang cattle and Piedmontese, have attracted attention for their excellent growth performance. In this study, we constructed a copy number variation map by whole genome resequencing of 132 Pinan cattle. In the genome of Pinan cattle, deletion-type copy number variants occupied a higher proportion and only 3.31% of CNVRs overlapped with exonic regions. It showed that Pinan cattle was clearly distinguishable from other breeds and Pinan cattle was closer to Nanyang cattle by population genetic structure analysis based on CNVRs. The degree of inbreeding in the Pinan cattle population was explored by ROH analysis, which showed that the degree of inbreeding in Pinan cattle was lower than that in European beef cattle, suggesting that the risk of inbreeding was low. Candidate genes related to muscle development (CADM3, CNTFR, DOCK3), reproductive traits (SCAPER), embryonic development (RERE) and immune traits (CD84) were identified by V selection analysis, ROH islands and iHS selection analysis, which provided a new scientific basis for the genetic basis of the excellent traits in Pinan cattle.

Beef cattle breed improvement holds strategic significance in the livestock industry. Pinan cattle, developed through years of selective breeding in Xinye County, Henan Province, exhibit superior traits including thin skin, fine bone structure, rapid growth, high dressing percentage, excellent meat yield, and superior feed efficiency. However, research on the genetic characteristics of Pinan cattle remains in its infancy.

The breeding of high-quality beef cattle breeds is crucial for the development of animal husbandry, and whole-genome resequencing is widely applicated in the field of molecular breeding. Advantages in growth and reproductive traits exist in Pinan cattle compared with other cattle breeds, but there is limited research on its genomic mechanism. Using whole-genome resequencing, the genetic structure and genomic selection signatures in Pinan cattle were investigated in this study.

Copy number variation (CNV), as one of the important variations in the biological genome, refers to the deletion and duplication of genomic segments between 1 kb and 50 kb caused by genomic rearrangements. Currently, many copy number variations have been found to be significantly associated with important economic traits such as growth, development and reproduction of cattle. However, the study of MUC19 gene has not been reported.

Background: Generally, copy number variation (CNV) is a large-scale structural variation between 50 bp and 1 kb of the genome. It can affect gene expression and is an important reason for genetic diversity and phenotypic trait diversity. Studies have shown that the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A2 (EIF4A2) gene plays an essential role in muscle development in both humans and pigs.
