Revealing the genetic mechanism of the growth, development and reproduction of cultured animals will provide a theoretical basis for the domestication of wild germplasm and the development of new breeds. The molecular basis of important economic traits will also provide a theoretical basis for cultivating new varieties of high-yield or stress-resistant breeding animals.
The research on germplasm resources mining of aquatic animals has made great progress in recent years, especially in the mining of functional genes and regulatory networks related to traits. More and more varieties and economic traits have received more extensive attention. At the same time, the mature commercialization of high-throughput sequencing technology provides strong support for the mining of functional genes and regulatory sites associated with traits. With the help of omics technology, it is efficient to reveal the coordination mechanism of key regulatory molecules in the process of aquatic animals' development, growth, sexual maturity, neuroendocrine and nutritional metabolism. It is helpful to reveal the signal pathways closely related to disease resistance and stress resistance. It is also conducive to the research on the epigenetic molecular basis of environmental regulation affecting the phenotype of traits.
In view of insufficient development and utilization of aquatic animal resources, the biological basis of environmental adaptation and the basic laws of reproductive development of aquatic animals deserve attention and exploration. At the same time, the research on genetic laws and molecular mechanisms in the growth, development, reproduction and other aspects of economic species should also be strengthened, focusing on screening and mining functional genes, regulatory sites and regulatory networks related to breeding traits.
The Research Topic is on studies using omics technology, particularly the multi-omics method, to explore genetic resources related to the economic traits of aquatic animals. It calls for original review and research papers related to the development and utilization of genetic resources of aquatic animals in any of the following research topics:
1、 Key gene regulatory networks and molecular mechanisms of sex, reproduction, growth, development, body color, neuroendocrine and stress-resistance related traits in aquatic animals
2、 The role and impact of epigenetics on traits responding to environmental changes in aquatic animals
3、 Evaluation of germplasm resources and analysis of genetic architecture targeting traits in aquatic animals
4、 Utilization of genomic resources and improvement of traits under artificial intervention
