Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) for Growth Rate and Age at Sexual Maturation in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
TL;DR: The relatively low power to detect genetic markers associated with growth (days to 5 kg) in this GWAS indicates the need to use a higher density SNP array in order to overcome the low levels of linkage disequilibrium observed in Atlantic salmon before the information can be incorporated into a selective breeding program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a Medium Density Combined-Species SNP Array for Pacific and European Oysters (Crassostrea gigas and Ostrea edulis)
Alejandro P. Gutierrez,Frances Turner,Karim Gharbi,Richard Talbot,Natalie R Lowe,Carolina Peñaloza,Mark McCullough,Paulo A. Prodöhl,Tim P. Bean,Ross D. Houston +9 more
TL;DR: A combined-species, medium density SNP array for Pacific oyster and European flat oyster, and it is revealed that the array can be used to clearly distinguish between both families based on identity-by-state (IBS) clustering parental assignment software.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Selection for Growth Traits in Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas): Potential of Low-Density Marker Panels for Breeding Value Prediction.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the use of genomic selection in oyster breeding could offer benefits for the selection of breeding candidates to improve complex economic traits at relatively modest cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for body-weight in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) using a 6.5 K SNP array
Alejandro P. Gutierrez,Krzysztof P. Lubieniecki,Evelyn A. Davidson,Sigbjørn Lien,Matthew Peter Kent,Steve Fukui,Ruth E. Withler,Bruce Swift,William S. Davidson +8 more
TL;DR: Five families from the Mainstream Canada Atlantic salmon broodstock program are examined to identify quantitative trait loci associated with body-weight at four time points during a commercial production cycle to identify genome-wide significant QTL effects.
