A Linkage-Based Genome Assembly for the Mosquito and Identification of Chromosomal Regions Affecting Diapause.

The Asian tiger mosquito, , is an invasive vector mosquito of substantial public health concern. The large genome size (~1.19-1.

Clustering of loci controlling species differences in male chemical bouquets of sympatric butterflies.

The degree to which loci promoting reproductive isolation cluster in the genome-that is, the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation-can influence the tempo and mode of speciation. Tight linkage between these loci can facilitate speciation in the face of gene flow. Pheromones play a role in reproductive isolation in many Lepidoptera species, and the role of endogenously produced compounds as secondary metabolites decreases the likelihood of pleiotropy associated with many barrier loci.

First High-Density Linkage Map and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Significantly Associated With Traits of Economic Importance in Yellowtail Kingfish .

The genetic resources available for the commercially important fish species Yellowtail kingfish (YTK) ( are relative sparse. To overcome this, we aimed (1) to develop a linkage map for this species, and (2) to identify markers/variants associated with economically important traits in kingfish (with an emphasis on body weight). Genetic and genomic analyses were conducted using 13,898 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated from a new high-throughput genotyping by sequencing platform, Diversity Arrays Technology (DArTseq) in a pedigreed population comprising 752 animals.
