Vestigial-like protein 3 and maturity in reared Atlantic salmon
When reared under typical conditions used in commercial aquaculture, the vgll3 genotype regulates age at maturity in male mowi Atlantic salmon but not in females, in contrast to what is observed in wild animals.
Aims and scope
BMC Genetics is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of inheritance and variation in individuals and among populations.
