Uncovering Allele-Specific Expression Patterns Associated with Sea Lice (Caligus rogercresseyi) Burden in Atlantic Salmon
several ASE genes co-localized with previously identified QTLs for sea lice resistance, indicating that cis-regulatory variants contribute to phenotypic differences in parasite susceptibility. These results highlight ASE analysis as a powerful tool to identify functional regulatory elements and provide valuable candidates for selective breeding and genomic improvement strategies in aquaculture.
