Chromosome-level genome sequence of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) highlights regions of introgression with O. mossambicus

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the GIFT tilapia strain, identifying introgressed regions from O. mossambicus associated with growth and immunity traits.

Genome-wide association and genomic prediction of growth traits in the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis)

This study evaluates genomic selection for improving growth traits in European flat oysters using low-density SNP panels and finds that similar prediction accuracies can be achieved with fewer markers.

Genome-scale comparative analysis for host resistance against sea lice between Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout

This study identifies candidate genes for sea lice resistance in Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout through genome-wide association studies.

Exploring genetic resistance to Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus in Atlantic salmon by genome-wide association and RNA sequencing

This study identifies genetic and functional basis of resistance to ISAV in Atlantic salmon using GWAS and RNA sequencing, finding TRIM25 as a key antiviral gene.

This study identifies and characterizes quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting resistance to sea lice in Atlantic salmon using genomic and transcriptomic data from a commercial breeding population.

Population genomic structure and genome-wide linkage disequilibrium in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) using dense SNP genotypes

The paper analyzes population structure and linkage disequilibrium in Chilean farmed Atlantic salmon using SNP genotypes, finding genetic differentiation and varying LD decay across populations.

Novel insights into the genetic relationship between growth and disease resistance in Pacific salmon

This study examines genetic correlations between growth and disease resistance traits in Pacific salmon, finding favorable genetic links between early growth and survival during infection.

Gene expression response to sea lice in Atlantic salmon skin: an RNA-Seq comparison between resistant and susceptible animals

Genome-Wide Association Study And Genomic Predictions For Resistance Against Piscirickettsia salmonis In Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Using ddRAD Sequencing

The paper identifies a SNP associated with resistance to P. salmonis in coho salmon and shows genomic selection models perform similarly to pedigree-based methods.
