1 Using genomics: especially for pig health Graham Plastow University of Alberta NSIF Annual Meeting Lincoln, NE December 2011
2 What is Genomics? The study of the genome: genes and variation in DNA sequence Closely related to a series of omics, e.g. transcriptomics (gene expression) proteomics.
3 What is Genomics? The study of genes (variation in DNA sequence) In animals, in order to be able to explain variation in economically important traits So as to improve our ability to select sires, dams, matings, animals in order to optimize processes and products Requires genomic tools but also data..
4 Why Genomics? Parentage or the origin of a piece of meat To identify carriers of a genetic disease To manage genetic health /diversity (df) To determine the genetic potential of an animal at birth E.g. The carcass grade of a steer/sl. pig A sire s ability to breed prolific daughters An animals ability to tolerate environmental or disease challenge (robustness)
5 Potential gains from MAS Meuwissen & Goddard, 1996 QTL with 1/3 of genetic variance haplotype-marked h 2 = Provided by Jack Dekkers (ISU) Generation Meat Quality Litter Size Performance after selection Performance before selection
6 Genomics Catch 22 Genomics requires lots of data Adds real value for difficult or expensive to measure traits Where do we have lots of data? For easy to measure traits (& dairy bulls) So, we develop markers for easy to measure traits These markers have a relatively small impact (except for dairy)
7 Genomics Catch 22 Genomics requires lots of data Adds real value for difficult or expensive to measure traits Where do we have lots of data? For easy to measure traits (& dairy bulls) So, we develop markers for easy to measure traits These markers have a relatively small impact (except for dairy)
8 Genomics Catch 22 Genomics requires lots of data Adds real value for difficult or expensive to measure traits Where do we have The lots of data? For easy to measure traits (& dairy bulls) Phenomic So, we develop markers for easy to measure traits Gap These markers have a relatively small impact (except for dairy)
9 Application of Genomics in Animals Marker Assisted Selection (MAS/GAS) To determine the genetic potential of an animal at birth Marker Assisted Management (MAM) To help optimize production/return by sorting animals into treatment groups Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) Genomic Selection
10 Take-home Genomics can help add value throughout the chain (MAM as well as MAS) State-of-the-art genomics tools are available now! Their greatest value is to impact difficult/expensive to measure traits Need to work with large numbers which means working with commercial animals Requires sharing information between participants
11 Today is the age of Genome Sequence
12 Cost of sequencing The human genome sequence, the culmination of 13 years effort and an estimated $3 billion was completed in Early in 2009, the first cow sequence was completed at $50 million in 4 years. The sequence of the two Canadian bulls took around 7 months at a cost of $130,000. Current Gentec Cost <$20,000 per individual (up to 100x)
13
14 Costs reduce faster than Moore s law Allows us to consider direct approaches We don t need the genetic proofs before we ask with today s genomics Of course it s harder for most diseases or complex traits Even so we still see the unexpected
15 Genomic Tools Today High Density SNP Chips allow Whole Genome Association Analysis Genomic Selection The Pig Genome Sequence enables Rapid identification of SNPs Fine mapping Analysis of other types of variation Characterization of genes and pathways (RNAseq)
16 Genomics of Swine Health: an example of a Canada-wide Livestock Gentec initiative.
17 Breeding for Disease Resistance Or reduced susceptibility Host Genetic Variation Identified For every type of pathogen Probably exists for all diseases Major opportunity for genomics As difficult and expensive to measure trait May be only practical way to breed healthier pigs Specific diseases or Improved Robustness?
18 The Phenomic Roadblock The real benefit will be from addressing 70 difficult to measure 60 traits Significant efforts are 30 needed to measure 20 these traits on 10 sufficiently large 0 numbers of animals
19 Health is the Biggest Opportunity for Genomics It represents an opportunity for the Canadian swine industry to build on its reputation for healthy genetics
20 Application of genomics to improve swine health and welfare An international industry/research partnership Project Leaders: Graham Plastow (UofA), John Harding (UofS), Bob Kemp (PigGen Canada)
21 Objective To provide new diagnostic tools to select for pigs that are genetically less susceptible to PCVAD and PRRS PCVAD - Porcine Circovirus Associated Disease PRRS Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus 21
22 How? By creating extensive resources for an integrated genomic analysis (and banking for future analysis) of host/virus interaction By integrating the research with application through use of industry populations, management and environments, and GE 3 LS enablement 22
23 The Need (Canadian Swine Health Forum Oct 2010) PRRS in Canada Very costly - in excess of $130 million/year in Canada PCVAD in Canada Total Direct Impact $500M plus on-going cost to cure of $600M 23
24 Global impact US: Because of PRRS, pig producers are known to suffer an estimated loss of $700 million a year. Neumann, E.J., et al. (2005) Assessment of the economic impact of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome on swine production in the United States. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association 227: so-called high fever disease in China in 2006 with the essence of PRRS, which spread to more than 10 provinces (autonomous cities or regions) and affected over 2,000,000 pigs with about 400,000 fatal cases. K. Tian et al. PLoS ONE. 2007; 2(6): e526. Emergence of Fatal PRRSV Variants: Unparalleled Outbreaks of Atypical PRRS in China and Molecular Dissection of the Unique Hallmark

28 Coordinated effort Phalanx of phenomic/genomic tests Blood for r/t window on health Serum components In vitro tests (proliferation assays, MDMs, transcriptomics.) Post-hoc analyses (transcriptomics, proteomics, kinomics) Genotype Dedicated pool of experts/analysts (across models) Linked animal resources providing discovery, validation, calibration, and demonstration Banked samples providing options for new tests/hypothesis testing
29 The PRRS Host Genetics Consortium PHGC Understanding the role of host genetics in resistance to PRRSV infection, and the effects of PRRS on pig health and related growth. Uses a nursery pig model to assess pig resistance/ susceptibility to primary PRRSV infection crossbred pigs (PIC USA; Newsham Choice Genetics; Fast Genetics; Genetiporc; Genesus). After acclimation, pigs infected with PRRSV and followed for 42 days post infection (dpi). Blood samples collected at 0, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 dpi, and weekly weights recorded. Results have affirmed that all pigs become PRRSV. Multivariate statistical analyses of viral load and weight data have identified PHGC pigs in different virus/weight categories. Sera are now being compared for factors involved in recovery from infection, including speed of response and levels of immune cytokines. Overall, the PHGC project will enable researchers to verify important genotypes and phenotypes that predict resistance/susceptibility to PRRSV infection.
