title = "Development of genomic resources in support of sequencing, assembly, and annotation of the catfish genome",
abstract = "Major progress has been made in catfish genomics including construction of high-density genetic linkage maps, BAC-based physical maps, and integration of genetic linkage and physical maps. Large numbers of ESTs have been generated from both channel catfish and blue catfish. Microarray platforms have been developed for the analysis of genome expression. Genome repeat structures are studied, laying grounds for whole genome sequencing. USDA recently approved funding of the whole genome sequencing project of catfish using the next generation sequencing technologies. Generation of the whole genome sequence is a historical landmark of catfish research as it opens the real first step of the long march toward genetic enhancement. The research community needs to be focused on aquaculture performance and production traits, take advantage of the unprecedented genome information and technology, and make real progress toward genetic improvements of aquaculture brood stocks.",

Funding Information: This paper stems from a presentation at the Genomics in Aquaculture Symposium held at Bod{\o} on 5th–7th July 2009. This was the first international meeting devoted exclusively to this field and it was funded by the Research Council of Norway (grant 192126/S40 ). Funding Information: In spite of its importance, whole genome sequencing with aquaculture species has lagged behind other species. However, more than a decade of preparation coupled with advances in sequencing technology has led to rapid recent progress. Of the six aquatic species groups included in the US Animal Genome NRSP-8 program, whole genome sequencing projects are underway for at least four: tilapia, Atlantic salmon, catfish, and oyster. The tilapia-genome project was funded by NIH, and it is being sequenced at the Broad Institute ( http://www.broad.mit.edu/science/projects/mammals-models/vertebrates-invertebrates/tilapia/ tilapia-genome-sequencing-project). Organized by the Oyster Genome Consortium, the oyster genome is being sequenced at the Beijing Genome Institute ( http://www.intl-pag.org/17/abstracts/W45_PAGXVII_329.html ). Sequencing of the Atlantic salmon genome is more complex as the salmon genome is derived from a whole genome duplication approximately 20–120 million years ago ( Ohno, 1970; Allendorf and Thorgaard, 1984 ). However, highly productive research projects, particularly those funded by Genome Canada, have prepared a solid foundation for sequencing the salmon genome. Recent communications with Dr. Willie Davidson (Simon Fraser University) and Ben Koop (University of Victoria) confirmed the initiation of salmon genome sequencing as a cooperative project between Canada, Norway, and Chile. Several countries including China, Thailand, Japan, and the US are discussing strategies for sequencing the shrimp genome. Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.",
