The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is among the top aquatic species of commercial importance around the world. Over the last four decades, the breeding works of L. vannamei have been carried out intensively and have generated multiple strains with improved production and performance traits. However, signatures of domestication and artificial selection across the L. vannamei genome remain largely unexplored. In the p...

Molluscan shell color has consistently drawn attention for its abundant diversity and commercial use in shellfish breeding projects. Recently, two new strains of bay scallop ( Argopecten irradians irradians ) with different shell colors as marked phenotypic traits have been artificially bred to improve their economic values; however, the inheritance mechanism of their shell pigmentation is still unclear. In this study, a genom...
