Dissecting the loci underlying maturation timing in Atlantic salmon using haplotype and multi-SNP based association methods
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Resolving the genetic architecture of fitness-related traits is key to understanding the evolution and maintenance of fitness variation. However, well-characterized genetic architectures of such traits in wild populations remain uncommon. In this study, we used haplotype-based and multi-SNP Bayesian association methods with sequencing data for 313 individuals from wild populations to further characterize known candidate regions for sea age at maturation in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ). We detected an association at five loci (on chromosomes ssa06 , ssa09 , ssa21 , and ssa25 ) out of 116 candidates previously identified in an aquaculture strain with maturation timing in wild Atlantic salmon. We found that at each of these five loci, variation explained by the locus was predominantly driven by a single SNP suggesting the genetic architecture of Atlantic salmon maturation includes multiple loci with simple, non-clustered alleles. This highlights the diversity of genetic architectures that can exist for fitness-related traits. Furthermore, this study provides a useful multi-SNP framework for future work using sequencing data to characterize genetic variation underlying phenotypes in wild populations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
