Abstract:Background: Flavobacterium columnare is the pathogen agent of columnaris disease, a major emerging disease affecting rainbow trout aquaculture. Selective breeding using genomic selection has potential to achieve cumulative improvement of host resistance. However, genomic selection is expensive partly due to the cost of genotyping high numbers of animals using high-density SNP arrays. The objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of genomic selection for resistance to F. columnare using in silico low… Show more
