Whole-genome resequencing and bisulfite sequencing provide new insights into the feeding habit domestication in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi).

ABSTRACT: Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is one of the most economically important fish in China. However, it has the peculiar feeding habit that it feeds solely on live prey fish since first-feeding, while refuses dead prey fish or artificial diets. After the specific training procedure, partial individuals could accept dead prey fish and artificial diets. The genetic basis of individual difference in artificial diet feeding habit is still unknown. In the present study, the resequencing was performed between 10 individuals which could be domesticated to accept artificial diets and 10 individuals which could not. Through the selective sweep analysis based on heterozygosity (Hp) and population differentiation coefficient (Fst), 57 candidate windows were identified as the putat
