9 Animal Breeding and Genomics Centers Can I genetically select dairy cows based on their emission of methane? Is it possible by measuring gene activity to find out whether chicken have good gut health? How do we store genetic material for future generations best?

10 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) Microarrays Bovine and Ovine Genotyping BeadChip The BovineLD BeadChip enables accurate genotyping to understand the impact of genetics on milk production, reproduction, health 80,000 custom markers for bovine 42,000 custom markers for ovine

12 Domestication of Animals Domestication was done in different areas in different periods First time in Mesopotamia ( b.p.) First domesticated species: sheep and goats ( b.p.) Followed pigs ( b.p.) and cattle ( b.p.).

13 Expansion of Animal domestication

14 Animals in the Neolithic period in Greece Τaurus primegenius ή Bos primigenius

15 The Animal Husbandry in Bronze and Iron Age

16 Autochthonous Animals in Greece

17 Autochthonous Animals Species Registered/referred races Cattle 36 Buffalo 1 Chicken 13 Donkeys 4 Goats 39 Horses 20 Pigs 6 Sheep 46

18 What happened the last 60 year in Greece

22 The Example of Greek Black Pig Michailidou et al Genet. Mol. Res. 13 (2): (2014)

26 DNA Traceability

27 DNA certified products of animal and plant origin Unique «DNA signature» Protection form adulteration and fraudulent actions Could protect the added valued of PDO and PGI products Protection of the investment made from the stakeholders Some Examples: Mozzarela di buffala, Feta Cheese, Greek Black Pig, Fava Santorinis etc.

28 Greek Feta Cheese + Only Sheep and Goat milk + Max goat milk to 30% - It is prohibited to manufacture Feta Cheese from other type of milk.

29 high-throughput sequencing technologies to certify cheeses

30 Microbial diversity of traditional cheeses Fungi 14 genera 21 species Yeast 13% 10 genera 35 species 8% Bacteria 79% 68 genera 237 species Stenotrophomonas Acinetobacter St-Nectaire Vibrio litoralis Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis Serratia Raoultella planticola Psychrobacter 17% Acinetobacter johnsonii Alcaligenes Brevundimonas diminuta Citrobacter Enterobacter hormaechei Escherichia coli Hafnia alvei Halomonas Sphingobacterium Serratia rubideae Raoultella planticola Pseudomonas Pantoea agglomerans Ochrobacterum sp.
