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 () 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.
基因对性状的影响非常重要。基因表达会影响一些鱼类的生长、免疫、繁殖和环境抗性,进而影响与鱼类相关的商业经济表现。研究基因与性状之间的联系可以帮助阐明鱼类的生长。到目前为止,还没有一个包含大黄鱼()基因的数据库。与鱼类生长效率相关的基因将对研究产生巨大影响。例如,IFIH1 基因编码的蛋白质与免疫系统中病毒感染的功能有关,这会影响大黄鱼的存活率。因此,我们通过已发表的文献收集数据,并将其与大黄鱼相关的生物遗传数据库相结合。基于这些数据,我们可以预测尚未发现的新的基因-性状关联。这项工作将有助于研究大黄鱼的生长。
