High-throughput sequencing technologies have expanded gene-based to genome-wide
research in aquaculture species. Several techniques adopting the Second Generation …

The availability of well-assembled genome sequences and reduced sequencing costs have
enabled the resequencing of many additional accessions in several crops, thus facilitating …

Grasslands are wide-spread, multi-species ecosystems that provide many valuable services.
Plant genetic diversity (ie, the diversity within species) is closely linked to ecosystem …

High-throughput sequencing platforms are increasingly being used for targeted amplicon
sequencing because they enable cost-effective sequencing of large sample sets. For …

Noninvasive genotyping methods have become key elements of wildlife research over the
last two decades, but their widespread adoption is limited by high costs, low success rates …

This chapter provides an overview of the genomic selection progress in long-lived forest tree
species. Factors affecting the prediction accuracy in genomic prediction are assessed with …

Parasite resistance traits in aquaculture species often have moderate heritability, indicating
the potential for genetic improvements by selective breeding. However, parasite resistance …

Aquaculture production is expected to increase with the help of genomic selection (GS). The
possibility of performing GS using only a small number of SNPs has been examined in order …

The novel non-targeted PCR-based genotyping system, namely Genotyping by Random
Amplicon Sequencing, Direct (GRAS-Di), is characterized by the simplicity in library …

The rising price of fishmeal and the need for sustainable use of fishery resources have
encouraged efforts by the aquaculture industry to identify alternative protein sources …
