A major QTL for resistance against Salmonid Rickettsial Septicaemia in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) maps to a narrow region on chromosome 21, implicating two candidate genes

This study identifies a major QTL on chromosome 21 in coho salmon linked to SRS resistance, implicating two candidate genes, hint3 and a lncRNA, through SNP analysis and expression correlation.

Meta-analysis of GWAS for sea lice load in Atlantic salmon

This study performs a meta-GWAS on Atlantic salmon to identify genetic variants associated with sea lice load, finding significant genomic regions and candidate genes involved in immune and tissue repair responses.

Prioritized imputed sequence variants from multi-population GWAS improve prediction accuracy for sea lice count in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

The paper improves genomic prediction accuracy for sea lice count in Atlantic salmon by prioritizing imputed SNPs from multi-population GWAS meta-analysis.

GWAS meta-analysis of resistance against Piscirickettsia salmonis in Atlantic salmon

This study performs a GWAS meta-analysis of SRS resistance in Atlantic salmon, identifying a QTL on Ssa02 and 16 shared genes associated with resistance traits.

Bayesian genomic models boost prediction accuracy for resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia (Oreochromus nilioticus)

The paper evaluates Bayesian genomic models for predicting resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia, finding improved prediction accuracy compared to pedigree-based models.

Genomic and functional gene studies suggest a key role of beta-carotene oxygenase 1 like (bco1l) gene in salmon flesh color.

The paper identifies two SNPs associated with salmon flesh color and suggests bco1l as the likely gene responsible for color variation through functional studies.
