Next Generation Sequencing and Whole Genome Selection in Aquaculture

Recent developments in DNA marker technologies, in particular theemergence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) discovery, haverendered some of the traditional methods of genetic researchoutdated. Next Generation Sequencing and Whole Genome Selectionin Aquaculture comprehensively covers the current state ofresearch in whole genome selection and applies these discoveries tothe aquaculture industry specifically. The text begins with athorough review of SNP and transitions into topics such as nextgeneration sequencing, EST data mining, SNP quality assessment, andwhole genome selection principles. Ending with a discussion of thetechnology's specific applications to the industry, this text willbe a valuable reference for those involved in all aspects ofaquaculture research.
Special Features:
* Unique linking of SNP technologies, next generation sequencingtechnologies, and whole genome selection in the context ofaquaculture research
* Thorough review of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism and existingresearch
* 8-page color plate section featuring detailedillustrations
