Quantitative genomic analyses in the pacific whiteleg shrimp litopenaeus vannamei
Conference Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
Traditional genetic improvement programs for Pacific white-leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) rely on family selection to improve growth and disease resistance traits. DNA technologies can help in simplifying breeding schemes and increasing genetic gains particularly for complex or difficult to measure traits. Here we present the results of genome-wide association and whole genomic prediction analyses using average family allele frequencies and the family mean of a growth trait in a genetic resource population consisting 1,934 animals and 690 families of L. vannamei genotyped with 8,967 genome-wide SNPs. After correcting for FDR, no significant SNPs were detected for growth. The accuracy of DGV in mirror prediction is much higher (0.65-0.69) as compared to forward prediction. A SNP that may be closely linked to the sex locus was identified with the female being the heterogametic sex.
