Mapping of a quantitative trait locus for resistance against infectious salmon anaemia in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): comparing survival analysis with analysis on affected/resistant data.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) is a viral disease affecting farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) worldwide. The identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) affecting resistance to the disease could improve our understanding of the genetics underlying the trait and provide a means for Marker-Assisted Selection. We previously performed a genome scan on commercial Atlantic salmon families challenge...
