PROBMAX: a computer program for assigning unknown parentage in pedigree analysis from known genotypic pools of parents and progeny
Article Abstract:
The PROBMAX computer program gives assistance to researchers in identifying the parents of an individual sampled from a population mixture in which the genetic variation at a number of loci is known in both the progeny mixture and in the parents. It can accommodate mating designations between 999 different males and females, but it may be necessary to use a number of input files to test all parental pairs, as it is restricted to 32,700 array elements. It has a number of features, including allowing the researcher to retest the progeny matches at various microsatellite loci.

The candidate gene, clock, localizes to a strong spawning time quantitative trait locus region in rainbow trout
Article Abstract:
A candidate gene mapping approach applied to existing quantitative trait loci (QTL) for spawning date in rainbow trout (oncorynchus mykiss) is ascertained whether these genes potentially account for any QTL effects. The results suggests that arylalkylamine N-acetlytransferase as a regulator of melatonin production is not a major gene influencing spawning time in the rainbow trout cross hence, contributes to the lack of evidence supporting the physiological role of melatonin in reproduction.

A blue variant in the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum
Article Abstract:
A new blue variant in the rainbow trout is studied to determine its mode of inheritance, measure pleiotropic effects on survival and growth and understand the causation (chemical versus structural) of the blue color. Results show that the genetic determinant of the blue variant is neither dominant or codominant gene nor a recessive sex linked gene.
