Auburn researchers report blue catfish genome breakthrough

An Auburn University research team has become the first to map a high-quality genome assembly of the blue catfish - one of the keystone species of the US aquaculture industry.

The genome, which was published in the journal GigaScience, is essential for genetic improvement using gene-editing or genome-assisted selection and will aid in the genetic enhancement of better catfish breeds for the multimillion-dollar catfish farming industry, according to a news release from Auburn.
