Article Synopsis
- - The allotetraploid common carp is a vital freshwater food fish, but the presence of internal bone structures (IBs) complicates its processing and consumer appeal.
- - Researchers measured various types of IBs in different carp strains and utilized whole-genome resequencing to find SNPs linked to IB numbers.
- - A total of 21 significant SNPs associated with different IB types were identified, providing insights into the genetic basis of IB development and potential markers for breeding carp with fewer IBs.
How two subgenomes in allo-tetraploids adapt to coexistence and coordinate through structure and expression evolution requires extensive studies. In the present study, we report an improved genome assembly of allo-tetraploid common carp, an updated genome annotation of allo-tetraploid goldfish and the chromosome-scale assemblies of a progenitor-like diploid Puntius tetrazona and an outgroup diploid Paracanthobrama guichenoti. Parallel subgenome structure evolution in the allo-tetraploids was featured with equivalent chromosome components, higher protein identities, similar transposon divergence and contents, homoeologous exchanges, better synteny level, strong sequence compensation and symmetric purifying selection.
