The incorporation of a rigorous selective breeding program for the Eastern oyster, which would increase the profitability of oyster farms, is constrained by the lack of genomic tools (such as high-density SNP chip) which would allow implementing genomic-based selection. The overall goal of this project is to enable L\u2019\u00c9tang Ruisseau Bar Lt\u00e9e, Eastern Canada\u2019s largest seed supplier, to produce the first production-ready strain of selectively bred Eastern oyster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\"><strong>Lead Genome Centres:&nbsp;<\/strong>Genome Atlantic and G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nCo-project leaders:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" width=\"112\" height=\"19\">Andr\u00e9<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" width=\"112\">Mallet<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\" width=\"511\">L\u2019\u00c9tang Ruisseau Bar Lt\u00e9e<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-25858","financed-project","type-financed-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project\/25858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/financed-project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
