TL;DR: The high-density and high-resolution genetic linkage map provides an important tool for QTL fine mapping and positional cloning of economically important traits, and improving common carp genome assembly.

TL;DR: A genome scan and comparison of these two populations and a set of genomic regions under selective sweeps that harbor genes involved in ion homoeostasis, acid-base regulation, unfolded protein response, reactive oxygen species elimination, and urea excretion are identified.

TL;DR: To identify quantitative trait loci that affect body shape in common carp Cyprinus carpio, a linkage map was constructed with a total of 307 markers covering 51 linkage groups (LG) and five significant QTL were detected for body-shape related traits and located for LGs.

TL;DR: Examination of gene families with detailed phylogenetic or orthology analysis verified the authenticity and accuracy of assembly and annotation of the recently published common carp whole genome sequences, providing an important genomic resource for future biochemical, physiological, and phylogenetic studies on FGFs in teleosts.

TL;DR: 7 SCARAs across the common carp genome were identified and results suggested that SCARA genes played important roles in host immune response to A. hydrophila infection in common carp, and provided important genomic resources for future studies on fish disease management.
