Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

The development of DNA-based genetic markers has had a revolutionary impact on animal
genetics. With DNA markers, it is theoretically possible to observe and exploit genetic …

The ordering and orientation of genomic scaffolds to reconstruct chromosomes is an
essential step during de novo genome assembly. Because this process utilizes various …

In less than half a century, molecular markers have totally changed our view of nature, and
in the process they have evolved themselves. However, all of the molecular methods …

Many genes are members of large families that have arisen during evolution through gene
duplication events. Our increasing understanding of gene organization at the scale of whole …

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 …

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

Infectious and parasitic diseases generate large economic losses in salmon farming. A
feasible and sustainable alternative to prevent disease outbreaks may be represented by …

Background Dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping arrays provide
extensive information on polymorphic variation across the genome of species of interest …

The aim of this review was to highlight the extent to which the genetic technologies are
implemented by the aquaculture industry. The review shows that some of the modern …
