Construction of a High-Density Linkage Map and QTL Fine Mapping for Growth- and Sex-Related Traits in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
A high-density genetic linkage map is of particular importance in the fine mapping for important economic traits and whole genome assembly in aquaculture species.The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), a species native to North America, is one of the most important commercial freshwater fish in the world.Outside of the United States, China has b
