全基因组关联分析(genome-wide association study,GWAS)已鉴定出大量与人类疾病和动植物经济性状显著关联的遗传变异。然而,由于多数变异位于基因组的非编码区域,使得从众多变异位点中准确识别具有生物学功能的变异仍面临巨大挑战。进入后GWAS时代,以高通量报告基因分析、CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑技术及表观遗传学分析为代表的高通量解析方法,已成为系统揭示基因组中功能变异的有力工具。这些方法不仅能够有效识别功能性变异,还可以揭示其调控基因表达的机制,从而阐明影响性状或疾病形成的分子基础。本文系统综述了当前用于基因组功能性变异的高通量鉴定方法,总结了其在主要农业动物中的应用进展,并对其未来研究前景进行展望,以期为后续相关领域研究提供参考。

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified a large number of genetic variations that are significantly associated with human diseases and animal and plant economic traits. However, the majority of these variants are located in non-coding regions of the genome, which makes it challenging to accurately pinpoint functional variants of biological significance from a vast number of candidate loci. In the post-GWAS era, high-throughput analytical approaches, such as high-throughput reporter gene analysis, CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing technologies, and epigenetic analyses, have become powerful tools for systematically uncovering functional variants in the genome. These methods not only enable efficient identification of functional variants but also help elucidate the mechanisms through which they regulate gene expression, thereby clarifying the molecular basis underlying trait formation or disease pathogenesis. In this review, we systematically summarize current high-throughput strategies for identifying functional genomic variants, highlight their applications and recent advances in major agricultural animal species, and outline future research directions, with the aim of providing a reference for subsequent studies in related fields.
