Transcriptome analysis revealed the existence of family-specific regulation of growth traits in grass carp.

Abstract excerpt

The grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is the world's most prolific freshwater fish. Little is known, however, about the functional genes and genetic regulatory networks that govern its growth traits. We created three grass carp families in this study by using two grass carp parents with fast-growing offspring and two grass carp parents with slow-growing offspring, namely the fast-growing × fast-growing family...
