Copy number variation (CNV), a significant source of genetic diversity in the mammalian Y chromosome, is associated with the development of many complex phenotypes, such as spermatogenesis and male fertility. The contribution of Y-linked CNVs has been studied in various species, however, water buffalo has not been explored in this area and the genetic information still remains unknown. The aim of the current study was to investigate the CNVs of four Y-linked genes, including, sex determining Region of Y-Chromosome (SRY), ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat gene protein on the chromosome Y (UTY), DEAD-box helicase 3 Y-linked (DDX3Y, also known as DBY), and oral-facial-digital syndrome 1 Y-linked (OFD1Y) in 254 swamp buffaloes from 15 populations distributed across China, Vietnam, and Laos using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Our results revealed the prevalence of a single-copy UTY gene in buffaloes. The DBY and OFD1Y represented CNVs among and within different buffalo breeds. The SRY showed CNVs only in Vietnamese and Laotian buffaloes. In conclusion, this study indicated that DBY, OFD1Y, and SRY showed CNVs, while the UTY was a single-copy gene in swamp buffaloes.

The swamp buffalo is a domesticated animal commonly found in Southeast Asia. It is a highly valued agricultural animal for smallholders, but the production of this species has unfortunately declined in recent decades due to rising farm mechanization. While swamp buffalo still plays a role in farmland cultivation, this species’ purposes has shifted from draft power to meat, milk, and hide production. The current status of swamp buffaloes in Southeast Asia is still understudied compared to its counterparts such as the riverine buffaloes and cattle. This review discusses the background of swamp buffalo, with an emphasis on recent work on this species in Southeast Asia, and associated genetics and genomics work such as cytogenetic studies, phylogeny, domestication and migration, genetic sequences and resources. Recent challenges to realize the potential of this species in the agriculture industry are also discussed. Limited genetic resource for swamp buffalo has called for more genomics work to be done on this species including decoding its genome. As the economy progresses and farm mechanization increases, research and development for swamp buffaloes are focused on enhancing its productivity through understanding the genetics of agriculturally important traits. The use of genomic markers is a powerful tool to efficiently utilize the potential of this animal for food security and animal conservation. Understanding its genetics and retaining and maximizing its adaptability to harsher environments are a strategic move for food security in poorer nations in Southeast Asia in the face of climate change.

This paper describes the findings of the complete reconstruction of the lineage Y chromosome haplotype of the French Emperor Napoléon I. In a previous study (Lucotte et al., 2013) we reconstructed, for more than one hundred Y-STRs (Y–short tandem repeats), the Y-chromosome haplotype of Napoléon I based on data comparing STR allelic values obtained from the DNA of two of his living descendants: Charles Napoléon (C.N.) and Alexandre Colonna Walewski (A.C.W.); in the present study we compare STR allelic values of C.N. and A.C.W. to those of Mike Clovis (M.C.), a living fifth generation descendant of Lucien (one of Napoléon’s brothers). When compared between M.C., C.N. and A.C.W., STR allelic values are identical for a total of 93 STRs; that permits us to propose those values, for which the three living descendants are identical, as expected allelic values of Napoléon I’s Y-chromosome haplotype. For seven STRs, allele values are variable between M.C., C.N. and A.C.W.; we propose for three of them (DYS442, DYS454 and DYS712) expected allelic values, based on data concerning the allele distributions of these STRs in the population.
