Diversity and linkage disequilibrium in farmed Tasmanian Atlantic salmon

Abstract: SummaryFarmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a globally important production species, including in Australia where breeding and selection has been in progress since the 1960s. The recent development of SNP genotyping platforms means genome-wide association and genomic prediction can now be implemented to speed genetic gain. As a precursor, this study collected genotypes at 218 132 SNPs in 777 fish from a Tasmanian breeding population to assess levels of genetic diversity, the strength of linkage disequilibri… Show more

“…When genotype imputation is employed in livestock populations, multiple generations of ancestral genotyped individuals, and pedigree information are typically available. Likewise, in the study of Kijas et al (2016), multiple generations of genotyped individuals were available for the Tasmanian salmon breeding population. These genotyped multi-generation pedigrees are more amenable to resolving the phase of whole chromosome haplotypes, and therefore result in more accurate genotype imputation.…”

“…An Atlantic salmon 15K SNP chip was evaluated as a potential genomic tool for application in a Tasmanian Atlantic salmon (S. salar) breeding population and was found useful for carrying within-family selection (Dominik et al, 2010). Genetic diversity and frequencies of alleles in Tasmanian Atlantic salmon was lower than observed within European populations as revealed by analysis with 218 132 SNPs array (Kijas et al, 2016). In contrast to the European Atlantic salmon, the strength of observed LD was high at short distances and remained above background for marker pairs separated by chromosomal distances of hundreds of kb.…”
