Our mission

is to provide genetics and genomics solutions to aquaculture farmers for implementing and enhancing novel strategies to improve production sustainably. Our services are based on a strong R&D expertise combined with well-stablished genetic improvement methods. We integrate analytical approaches related to Quantitative Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics, in order to understand biological processes associated to genome variation in farmed fish and its implications on both production traits and conservation.

Our main research interests are related with:

Design, implementation, and optimization of selective breeding programs for a range of aquaculture species, with emphasis on the incorporation of genomic information.

Development of novel genomic resources for the determination of the molecular basis of economically important traits (disease resistance, growth, and product quality) in farmed fish and shellfish.

Development of cost-effective genomic selection schemes using low-density SNP panels and efficient imputation methods.

Great collaborative work between Mexico and Chile, led by @GaboRCampos and supported by @AquaG_Lab, on the genomic characterization and GWAS for white spot syndrome virus resistance in shrimp
Congrats to all the team!!

Happy to share the results from the collaboration between
@MultiexportF, @AquaG_Lab
and @CriaUchile on the determination of strong GxE interaction for growth in freshwater vs seawater in Atlantic salmon, indicating that they are different traits.
