WorldFish Data

The data is the WGS (.bam files) of 126 animals from the G15 from WorldFish. Specifically the parents of the fish collected from the TiLV outbreak

Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) is one of the most important threats for Nile tilapia farming, especially in developing and undeveloped countries. We have previously shown the existence of a significant genetic additive genetic variation for host resistance to TiLV in a Nile tilapia breeding population, indicating the feasibility to improve this trait by means of selective breeding. Also, by including genomic data from a 65 K SNP array developed by WorldFish and The Roslin Institute, and using almost 1,000 fish collected from a natural outbreak, we found a major QTL located on chromosome 22 (Oni22) associated with host resistance, and candidate genes likely associated with BS.
The current data encompass the WGS information from the parents of these fish. This data was used for imputation analyses, GS and GWAS.
