Target gene-capture strategy for the cichlid subfamily pseudocrenilabrinae
The genome availability for cichlid species of the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae, including Oreochromis niloticus can help develop robust molecular tools to address questions related to the conservation and management of O. niloticus in its invasive range and O. mossambicus in its natural range. The objectives of this study include (1) identifying the best candidate orthologous genes among Pseudocrenilabrinae using gene ontology and a dedicated filtering strategy, (2) mining coding sequences for these candidate genes from O.
