The <i>vgll3</i> locus controls age at maturity in wild and domesticated Atlantic salmon ( <i>Salmo salar</i> L.) males

2015-08-17

Abstract excerpt

Wild and domesticated Atlantic salmon males display large variation for sea age at sexual maturation, which varies between 1-5 years. Previous studies have uncovered a genetic predisposition for age at maturity with moderate heritability, thus suggesting a polygenic or complex nature of this trait. The aim of this study was to identify associated genetic loci, genes and ultimately specific sequence variants confer...
