Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important
breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on …

Food adulteration is one of the most serious problems regarding food safety and quality
worldwide. Besides misleading consumers, it poses a considerable health risk associated …

Highly imbalanced data typically make accurate predictions difficult. Unfortunately, software
defect datasets tend to have fewer defective modules than non-defective modules. Synthetic …

Molecular markers are widely used in plant genetic research and breeding. Single
Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are currently the marker of choice due to their large …

Microsatellites are the most popular and versatile genetic marker with myriads of
applications in population genetics, conservation biology, and evolutionary biology. These …

The foundation of quantitative genetics theory was developed during the last century and
facilitated many successful breeding programs for cultivated plants and t-restrial livestock …

Advancing the production efficiency and profitability of aquaculture is dependent upon the
ability to utilize a diverse array of genetic resources. The ultimate goals of aquaculture …

Microsatellites represent codominant molecular genetic markers, which are ubiquitously
distributed within genomes. Due to their high level of polymorphism, relatively small size and …

The ability to fully control sexual maturation and spawning and to produce large numbers of
high quality seeds 'on demand'(ie all year long) is a primary requirement for the successful …

Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector in agriculture. Substantial genetic gains have been
achieved in a few cultured species using conventional selective breeding approaches …
