Genome-wide association mapping for heat shock tolerance in Mercenaria mercenaria through SNP microarray analysis
The fastStructure analysis revealed the proportions of different ancestral components within the quahogs from different farming stocks, highlighting that the genetic factors may contribute to their varying survival rates under heat stress. The associated genes have potential roles in immune response, cellular stress, and tissue repair. The findings highlighted the power of high-throughput approaches for the identification of superior quahog genotypes for further breeding.
