Genetic diversity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) throughout West Africa
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a globally significant aquaculture species rapidly gaining status as a farmed commodity. In West Africa, wild Nile tilapia genetic resources are abundant yet knowledge of fine-scale ...
Maximum likelihood parentage assignment using quantitative genotypes
Type: Journal Article
The cost of parentage assignment precludes its application in many selective breeding programs and molecular ecology studies, and/or limits the circumstances or number of individuals to which it is applied. Pooling samples ...
Pipette and paper: Combining molecular and genealogical methods to assess a Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) breeding program
Type: Journal Article
The paper compared molecular and paper records of pedigrees in a Nile tilapia breeding program, the Abbassa line in Egypt. It established a novel pipeline of checks and balances based on molecular data to correct erroneous ...
