Identification of differentially expressed genes and SNPs linked to harvest body weight of genetically improved rohu carp, Labeo rohita.

ABSTRACT: In most of the aquaculture selection programs, harvest body weight has been a preferred performance trait for improvement. Molecular interplay of genes linked to higher body weight is not elucidated in major carp species. The genetically improved rohu carp with 18% average genetic gain per generation with respect to harvest body weight is a promising candidate for studying genes' underlying performance traits. In the present study, muscle transcriptome sequencing of two groups of individuals, with significant difference in breeding value, belonging to the tenth generation of rohu carp was performed using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. A total of 178 million paired-end raw reads were generated to give rise to 173 million reads after quality control and trimming. The genome-guided transcr
