The application provides a method for screening genetic lethal interval on the whole
genome level of
shellfish, and belongs to the technical field of
shellfish breeding. The method obtains the
genotype information of
shellfish, locates ROH on the whole
genome level, constructs the theoretical distribution of ROH, evaluates the actual distribution of ROH, defines the genetic lethal interval, and determines the
genotype of the low
survival rate individual by evaluating the
genotype frequency and
allele frequency distribution characteristics of the sites in the genetic lethal interval. The application can screen the genetic lethal interval on the whole
genome level of shellfish, solves the problem that the survival and death of shellfish individuals cannot be converted into
phenotype information suitable for traditional
genetic analysis, and reveals the distribution characteristics and action mode of the genetic lethal interval on the whole genome level, thereby providing a theoretical basis for designing a shellfish breeding scheme, and providing a reliable standard for screening high-quality parent populations and high-quality breeding populations and improving breeding efficiency.
