Application of genome-wide association studies in channel catfish to identify QTL associated with hypoxia tolerance

Wang, Xiaozhu (2017-03-07)

Catfish is the dominant aquaculture species in the United States. The production of the domestic catfish industry rapidly increased in the last two decades. However, as imported catfish from Southeast Asia have kept ...

Assembly and Annotation of the Channel Catfish Transcriptome and Assessment of Pervasive Expression

Jiang, Chen (2015-12-10)

For a long period of time, it was widely believed that only a small fraction of the genome is transcribed, and researchers were mainly focused on studying expression of protein-coding genes. In the last a few years, pervasive ...

Association analysis of intraspecific ESC resistance QTL and identification of landscape of promoters in catfish on the genome-wide level

Shi, Huitong (2019-07-02)

Catfish is the most important aquaculture species, accounting for over 50% of aquaculture production in the US. However, disease problems threaten the survival of the catfish industry. Bacterial diseases are a major issue ...

A Biodegradable Microparticle Vaccine Platform using Femtomole Peptide Antigen Doses to Elicit T-cell Immunity against Chlamydia abortus

Chowdhury, Erfan (2016-12-19)

Successful vaccination against Chlamydia spp. has remained elusive, largely due to a lack of vaccine platforms for the required Th1 immunization. Modeling of T helper cell immunity indicates that Th1 immunity requires ...

Bulk segregant RNA-seq reveals expression and positional candidate genes and allele-specific expression for disease resistance against enteric septicemia of catfish

Wang, Ruijia (2013-11-15)

The application of RNA-seq has accelerated gene expression profiling and identification of gene-associated SNPs in many species. However, the integrated studies of gene expression along with SNP mapping have been lacking. ...

Characterization of an Attenuated Aeromonas hydrophila Vaccine and Molecular Mechanisms of Channel Catfish Immunity against Aeromonas hydrophila infection

Mu, Xingjiang (2012-07-17)

An attenuated Aeromonas hydrophila AL09-71 N+R vaccine strain was compared to its virulent parent strain A. hydrophila AL09-71. The attenuated AL09-71 N+R strain was developed through selection of resistance to both ...

Chemokine ccl33 is a key regulator of fish barbel development

Zhou, Tao (2017-07-22)

Barbels are integumentary sense organ that can be found in fishes, reptiles and amphibians. Barbel structures are relatively simple, consisting of central rod of cartilage, nerve trunk, artery and taste bud. The cell types ...

Comparative analysis of repetitive elements in fish genomes

Yuan, Zihao (2018-03-15)

Repetitive elements make up significant proportions of genomes. However, their roles in evolution remain largely unknown. To provide insights into the roles of repetitive elements in fish genomes, this dissertation work ...

Comparative genome analysis of related catfish species

Zhang, Jiaren (2014-12-12)

Catfish belong to the order Siluriformes. They are one of the largest orders of teleost fish, with over 5,000 living species, accounting for approximately 15% of teleost fish species, or 7.8% of all vertebrates. Catfish ...

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Catfish Linkage Group 27 with Teleost Species Genomes

Gao, Xiaoyu (2012-07-20)

Comparative genomics is a powerful tool to transfer genomic information from model species to related non-model species. Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is the primary aquaculture species in the United States. Its ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of catfish swimbladder reveals expression signatures in chamber formation and their response to low oxygen stress

Yang, Yujia (2018-07-18)

The swimbladder is an internal gas-filled organ in teleosts. Its major function is to regulate buoyancy. Swimbladder exhibits great variations in size, shape, number of compartments or chambers among teleosts. However, the ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of genes expressed in the skin of channel catfish, common carp and pleco

Yao, Jun (2015-12-10)

Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), as a member of Siluriformes, has scaleless skin. However, it is hardy and resistant to many types of stresses including low oxygen, high density, handling, and infections from various ...

Construction of a high-density high-resolution genetic map and its integration with BAC-based physical map in channel catfish

Li, Yun (2015-12-10)

Catfish is the leading aquaculture specie in the United States of American. However, the catfish industry is facing great challenges due to devastating diseases, high production cost, high feed and energy cost and international ...

Development of 690K SNP arrays for whole genome mapping and genetic studies in catfish

Zeng, Qifan (2016-08-05)

Catfish is the leading aquaculture species in the United States, accounting for approximately 60% of U.S. aquaculture production. However, the catfish industry is facing great challenges including escalating feed and fuel ...
