Major progress has been made with genomic and genetic studies in aquaculture in the last
decade. However, research on epigenetic regulation of aquaculture traits is still at an early …

Adaptive radiation is the likely source of much of the ecological and morphological diversity
of life,,–. How adaptive radiations proceed and what determines their extent remains unclear …

The transition from 'well-marked varieties' of a single species into 'well-defined species'—
especially in the absence of geographic barriers to gene flow (sympatric speciation)—has …

Cichlid fishes are a very diverse and species-rich family of teleost fishes that inhabit lakes
and rivers of India, Africa, and South and Central America. Research has largely focused on …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have been extensively applied to genetics and
breeding in the aquaculture industry. To date, many aquaculture animal genomes have …

Aquaculture is an important sector for ensuring global food security. Due to the scarcity of
freshwater available for expanding aquaculture, the development of omnivorous fish species …

Eukaryotic genome sequencing and de novo assembly, once the exclusive domain of well-
funded international consortia, have become increasingly affordable, thus fitting the budgets …

In Egypt, the temperature of the water fluctuates drastically, reaching a daytime high of 25° C
and a nighttime low of 15° C, respectively, in the spring and the fall. To understand the …

Selective breeding of tilapia populations started in the early 1990s and over the past three
