Genome sequencing and identification of candidate variants for a red/black color polymorphism in tilapia (Oreochromis spp.)

Red tilapia are favored by consumers, but the molecular genetic basis for this color pattern is unknown. Here we report on the genetic and physical mapping of the red locus in two strains of tilapia. We raised ∼3000 hybrid individuals to map the red locus to a single bacterial artificial chromosome...
