Development and validation of a 66K SNP array for the hard clam (Mercenaria mercenaria)
The 66K SNP array is a powerful and robust genotyping tool that offers unprecedented insights into the species' genomic architecture and population dynamics and that can greatly facilitate hard clam selective breeding. It represents an important resource that has the potential to transform clam aquaculture, thereby promoting industry sustainability and ecological and economic resilience.
