High-resolution melting analysis of common and recombinant genotypes of the Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) hemoglobin β1 gene in transatlantic populations (original) (raw)

This research investigates the genetic variation in hemoglobin β1 gene (Hb-b1) among Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) populations across the North Atlantic using high-resolution melting analysis. It highlights the amino acid substitutions associated with different hemoglobin isoforms, their influence on physiological traits, and the presence of rare recombinant haplotypes in certain populations. Results indicate significant implications for cod management and understanding population dynamics in response to environmental changes.
