| Abstract | Background Population genomic analysis can reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship and demographic history, and identify genomic selective signatures of a species. To date, fundamental aspects of population genomic analyses, such as intraspecies taxonomy, evolutionary history, and adaptive evolution, of sika deer have not been systematically investigated. Furthermore, accumulating lines of evidences have illustrated that incorrect species delimitation will mislead conservation decisions, and even lead to irreversible mistakes in threatened species. Results In this study, we resequenced 81 wild and 71 domesticated sika deer representing 10 main geographic populations and two farms to clarify the species delimitation, demographic and divergence histories, and adaptive evolution of this species. First, our analyses of whole genomes, Y chromosomes and mitochondrial genomes revealed substantial genetic differentiation between the continental and Japanese lineages of sika deer, representing two phylogenetically distinct species. Second, sika deer in Japan were inferred to have experienced a “divergence-mixing-isolation” evolutionary scenario. Third, we identified four candidate genes (XKR4, NPAS3, CTNNA3, and CNTNAP5) possibly involved in body size regulation of sika deer by selective sweep analysis. Furthermore, we also detected two candidate genes (NRP2 and EDIL3) that may be associated with an important economic trait (antler weight) were under selection during the process of domestication. Conclusion Population genomic analyses revealed that the continental and Japanese lineages represent distinct phylogenetic species. Moreover, our results provide insights into the genetic selection signatures related to body size differences and a valuable genomic resource for future genetic studies and genomics-informed breeding of sika deer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
