dc.description.abstractThe tilapias are a group of African and Middle Eastern cichlid fish that are widely cultured in developed and developing countries. With many different species and sub-species, and extensive use of interspecies hybrids, identification of tilapia species is of importance in aquaculture and in wild populations where introductions occur. This research set out to distinguish between tilapia species and sub-species by retrieving species-specific nuclear DNA markers (SNPs) using two approaches: (i) sequencing of the coding regions of the ADA gene; and (ii) next-generation sequencing, both standard RADseq and double-digest RADseq (ddRADseq). The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) marker cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) was used to verify tilapia species status. ADA gene sequence analysis was partially successful, generating SNP markers that distinguished some species pairs. Most species could also be discriminated using the COI sequence. Reference based analysis (RBA: using only markers found in the O. niloticus genome sequence) of standard RADseq data identified 1,613 SNPs in 1,002 shared RAD loci among seven species. De novo based analysis (DBA: based on the entire data set) identified 1,358 SNPs in 825 loci and RBA detected 938 SNPs in 571 shared RAD loci from ddRADseq among 10 species. Phylogenetic trees based on shared SNP markers indicated similar patterns to most prior phylogenies based on other characteristics. The standard RADseq detected 677 species-specific SNP markers from the entire data set (seven species), while the ddRADseq retrieved 38 (among ten species). Furthermore, 37 such SNP markers were identified from ddRADseq data from a subset of four economically important species which are often involved in hybridization in aquaculture, and larger numbers of SNP markers distinguished between species pairs in this group. In summary, these SNPs are a valuable resource in further investigating hybridization and introgression in a range of captive and wild stocks of tilapias.en_GB
