We describe an emerging initiative - the 'Functional Annotation of All Salmonid Genomes' (FAASG), which will leverage the extensive trait diversity that has evolved since a whole genome duplication event in the salmonid ancestor, to develop an integrative understanding of the functional genomic basis of phenotypic variation. The outcomes of FAASG will have diverse applications, ranging from improved understanding of genome evolution, to improving the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture production, supporting the future of fundamental and applied research in an iconic fish lineage of major societal importance.
我们描述了一项正在兴起的计划——“所有鲑科鱼类基因组的功能注释”(FAASG),该计划将利用自鲑科鱼类祖先发生全基因组复制事件以来进化出的广泛性状多样性,来全面理解表型变异的功能基因组基础。FAASG的成果将有多种应用,从增进对基因组进化的理解,到提高水产养殖生产的效率和可持续性,为这个具有重大社会意义的标志性鱼类谱系的基础研究和应用研究的未来提供支持。
