Parentage assignment with genomic markers: a major advance for understanding and exploiting genetic variation of quantitative traits in farmed aquatic animals
Since the middle of the 1990s, parentage assignment using microsatellite markers has been
introduced as a tool in aquaculture breeding. It now allows close to 100% assignment …
