CIGENE-PWP1: Identification of the genetic determinants underlying fillet pigmentation in salmon

Project leader: Stig W. Omholt
Coordinator PWP1: Dag Inge Våge

Main goal
Reveal the biological background of natural variation in pigment retention in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by combining two different research strategies. A genomic approach based on QTL identification in family structures (task 1), and an experimental approach based gene and protein expression profiling in natural populations showing extreme differences in the ability to utilise dietary carotenoids for muscle deposition (task 2).
