Abstract

The importance of a gene’s impact on traits is well appreciated. Gene expression will affect the growth, immunity, reproduction and environmental resistance of some fish, and then affect the economic performance of fish-related business. Studying the connection between gene and character can help elucidate the growth of fishes. Thus far, a collected database containing large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) genes does not exist. The gene having to do with the growth efficiency of fish will have a huge impact on research. For example, the protein encoded by the IFIH1 gene is associated with the function of viral infection in the immune system, which affects the survival rate of large yellow croakers. Thus, we collected data through the published literature and combined them with a biological genetic database related to the large yellow croaker. Based on the data, we can predict new gene–trait associations which have not yet been discovered. This work will contribute to research on the growth of large yellow croakers.

Highlights

  • The large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), whose meat is delicious and has therapeutic effects, is a crucial source for the fish markets

  • We collected the genes related to the economic traits of large yellow croakers

  • We proposed the large yellow croaker gene–trait association prediction

Summary

Introduction

The large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), whose meat is delicious and has therapeutic effects, is a crucial source for the fish markets. Larger yellow croakers, belonging to Asian croakers, are economically important, few studies focus on the genes related to economic traits of the large yellow croaker. With the development of molecular biology technology [1], such as genomics in recent years, research on important economic traits of aquatic animals has attracted much attention. Growth, disease resistance, cold and hypoxia, and other traits of common aquatic organisms has made some achievements, and a large number of related functional genes have been identified from the large yellow croaker. In 2016, Shen et al [2] sequenced and characterized the melanoma differentiation-associated antigen 5 (LcMDA5), laboratory of genetics and physiology.
