“…Furthermore, improved bioinformatics pipelines made it possible to automate the large-scale genotyping of SNPs ( Slate et al, 2009 ), and their subsequent utilization in high-resolution linkage maps and genome-wide association studies ( Bennet et al, 2010 ; Salem et al, 2012 ; Li et al, 2016 ; Joshi et al, 2018 ; Hillestad et al, 2020 ; Yáñez et al, 2022 ) has been elucidated. Use of differential expression data from transcriptomes for identification of genes linked to improved growth ( Chealoh et al, 2018 ; Duran et al, 2022 ; Shen et al, 2022 ), disease resistance ( Yanez, Houston, and Newman, 2014 ; Tadmor-Levi et al, 2019 ), and low saline adaptation ( Lin et al, 2019 ; Powell et al, 2021 ) has been instrumental in understanding molecular pathways associated with performance traits. In rohu, a number of genomics resources have been generated in the last 1 decade to enable genome-guided data analysis and marker-assisted breeding programs ( Robinson et al, 2012 ; Robinson et al, 2014 ; Das et al, 2020 ; Arick et al, 2022 ).…”
