1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundYaks are multipurpose ruminants crucial for milk, meat, wool, fuel, and high-altitude transportation. Effective management of their genetic resources requires detailed knowledge of their genetic diversity, population structure, and genealogical parameters. SNP arrays offer a reliable and reproducible method for genotyping, overcoming limitations of other approaches. The present study focused on developing and validating a high-density SNP array tailored for Indian yak populations.

resultsIn whole genome resequencing analysis, 31 million variants, including SNPs and InDels, were scored in the Indian yak populations. The identified variants underwent rigorous filtering based on various criteria such as minor allele frequency, removal of insertions and deletions, selection of biallelic SNPs, filtration of adjacent SNPs, and p-convert value. Finally, a total of 627,377 SNPs were selected and tiled using Affymetrix® Axiom® High Density genotyping array technology. Subsequently, the developed SNP array was validated using 338 Indian yak DNA samples using the Affymetrix GeneTitan platform. Further, the SNP array data analysis revealed a greater than 99% SNP call rate with the ability to detect all three genotypes. Furthermore, a total of 465,203 markers were found to be polymorphic or poly high resolution, indicating robustness of the array. The MAF of selected variants across genotyped samples and WGS data was found to be 0.287 and 0.308, respectively. The PCA and admixture analysis confirmed the ability of the SNP panel to differentiate Indian, Chinese, and wild yak populations.

conclusionThe newly developed SNP array (IndiYak) holds significant promise for various applications in yak genetics research, including genome-wide association studies, assessment of genomic diversity, genomic selection, and molecular evolutionary analysis.
