Description
Summary:The ISGA (International Symposium on Genetics in Aquaculture)is an important conference in the field of aquaculture genetics, which is held every three years. This year, the meeting was hosted by James Cook University, in Cairns. The conference sessions included biotechnology and functional genomics, sex control, genomic prediction, selective breeding and quantitative genetics, industrial use of genetics, genome technology, genetics of diseases and stress, genetics of nutrition, epigenetics, genomics and metabolomes, population genetics and ethics, food safety, as well as environmental risks. Many new and interesting unpublished data, including those for new aquaculture species, marker-assisted selection, genomic selection and genome editing using Crispr/Cas9 technologies, were reported at the conference. In this brief review, we highlight the novel and interesting researches on aquaculture genetics and genomics to give readers an overview of the current status and trends of aquaculture genetics and genomics research.
