Development and validation of a 70K SNP genotyping array for Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The analysis of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes which capture genome-wide polymorphic variation can be used to improve the accuracy of selection in breeding programs and reveal the genetic architecture of quantitative traits. Mid-density SNP genotyping arrays containing > 60 K SNP markers have been developed for numerous production species and have been used to enable enhanced breeding progress. Despite recent genomic advances, Atlantic halibut lacks mid-density genotyping tools, limiting the application of genomic selection and high-resolution association studies in this species. The evolving Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) industry is also interested in genetically informed selection of breeding candidates to facilitate genetic improvement.
