  • Genetic marker identification in atlantic cod
    Patent number: 8597887
    Abstract: The present application describes SNPs useful for the genetic analysis of Atlantic cod. Also described are QTLs and SNP marker associations for commercially important traits such as weight, nodavirus resistance, resistance to stress and for determining geographic origin. The application also provides methods and uses of the SNPs for identifying family members and/or estimating relatedness, marker assisted selection, breeding programs, population management, identification of geographic origin and trait-association studies. A SNP-based linkage map for Atlantic cod is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 9, 2010
    Date of Patent: December 3, 2013
    Assignee: Genome Atlantic
    Inventors: Sophie Hubert, Brent Higgins, Sharen Bowman, Tudor Borza, Jillian Tarrant Bussey, Stewart C. Johnson, Matthew L. Rise, J. Andrew B. Robinson, Gary Simpson, Amber Garber, Gordon E. Vander Voort, Christina E. Hastings, Tiago S. Hori, Luis O. Afonso, A. Kurt Gamperl
  • Recombinant vaccines against caligid copepods (sea lice) and antigen sequences thereof
    Patent number: 8207132
    Abstract: Molecular targets and vaccines against them in the treatment of sea lice infection of fish are provided, particularly caligid copepods. Vaccines targeted to L. salmonis trypsin are shown to reduce the quantity of sea lice present in challenged salmon from day 14 p.i. onward. Additional and novel molecular targets for vaccines are also provided.
