Title
Functional Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Biomarkers for Specific Gene Groups of Oreochromis Niloticus.
Abstract
Selecting a superior strain of fish for cultivation, shortening the cultivation period, preventing environment deterioration, and reducing infectious disease transmission have become crucial factors for the aquaculture industry. Here we integrated bioinformatics and next-generation sequencing technologies to establish simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker selection database for Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia). The designed system can facilitate fish farmers and biologists in effectively and efficiently performing marker-assisted selection. Genetic SSR biomarkers associated with the skeletal development system for Nile tilapias was experimentally verified in this study. In addition, a system for online comparison of two different Nile tilapia genomes was designed for the discovery of SSR variations. Based on Gene Ontology (GO) term features, a set of genes of interest and corresponding SSR biomarkers were retrieved and compared. Novel molecular biomarkers for a specific functional gene group can facilitate marker-assisted selection and breeding in the modern aquafarming industry.
