Abstract EN
Goat plays a crucial role in human livelihoods, being a major source of meat, milk, fiber, and hides, particularly under adverse climatic conditions.
The goat genomics related to the candidate gene approach is now being used to recognize molecular mechanisms that have different expressions of growth, reproductive, milk, wool, and disease resistance.
The appropriate literature on this topic has been reviewed in this article.
Several genetic characterization attempts of different goats have reported the existence of genotypic and morphological variations between different goat populations.
As a result, different whole-genome sequences along with annotated gene sequences, gene function, and other genomic information of different goats are available in different databases.
The main objective of this review is to search the genes associated with economic traits in goats.
More than 271 candidate genes have been discovered in goats.
Candidate genes influence the physiological pathway, metabolism, and expression of phenotypes.
These genes have different functions on economically important traits.
Some genes have pleiotropic effect for expression of phenotypic traits.
Hence, recognizing candidate genes and their mutations that cause variations in gene expression and phenotype of an economic trait can help breeders look for genetic markers for specific economic traits.
The availability of reference whole-genome assembly of goats, annotated genes, and transcriptomics makes comparative genomics a useful tool for systemic genetic upgradation.
Identification and characterization of trait-associated sequence variations and gene will provide powerful means to give positive influences for future goat breeding program.
