Whole genome sequencing in the search for genes associated with the control of SIV infection in the Mauritian macaque model. Sci Rep. 2018;8(1):7131. DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-25071-x2045-2322http://hdl.handle.net/10230/35788In the Mauritian macaque experimentally inoculated with SIV, gene polymorphisms potentially associated with the plasma virus load at a set point, approximately 100 days post inoculation, were investigated. Among the 42 animals inoculated with 50 AID50 of the same strain of SIV, none of which received any preventive or curative treatment, nine individuals were selected: three with a plasma virus load (PVL) among the lowest, three with intermediate PVL values and three among the highest PVL values. The complete genomes of these nine animals were then analyzed. Initially, attention was focused on variants with a potential functional impact on protein encoding genes (non-synonymous SNPs (NS-SNPs) and splicing variants). Thus, 424 NS-SNPs possibly associated with PVL were detected. The 424 candidates SNPs were genotyped in these 42 SIV experimentally infected animals (including the nine animals subjected to whole genome sequencing). The genes containing variants most probably associated with PVL at a set time point are analyzed herein.application/pdfeng© The Author(s) 2018.
