Whole genome re-sequencing reveals recent signatures of selection in three strains of farmed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Abstract excerpt

Nile tilapia belongs to the second most cultivated group of fish in the world, mainly because of its favorable characteristics for production. Genetic improvement programs and domestication process of Nile tilapia may have modified the genome through selective pressure, leaving signals that can be detected at the molecular level. In this work, signatures of selection were identified using genome-wide SNP data, by...
