摘要： Segregation distortion is a common phenomenon found in most genetic mapping studies and is an important resource to dissect the mechanism of action in gene loci that cause deviation. Marine animals possess high genetic diversity and genomic heterozygosity, they therefore are ideal model organisms to study segregation distortion induced by selection. In the present study, we constructed a full-sib family of Fenneropenaeus chinensis and exerted high-intensity selection on 10,000 incipient progenies. 2b-RAD method was employed in remaining 273 individuals to develop genome-wide SNPs for segregating analysis and 41,612 SNPs were developed. 50.77% of 32,229 high-quality representative markers deviated from the expected Mendelian ratio. Results showed that most of these distorted markers (91.57%) were influenced at zygotic level. Heterozygote excess (53.07%) and homozygous deletions (41.96%) may both play an important role, sum of which explained 95.03% of distortion after fertilization. However, further results identified highly probable linkage among deleterious alleles, which may account for a considerable portion of heterozygote excess rather than single locus with heterozygote advantage. Results of this study support a major role of deleterious alleles in genetic load, thus in favor of partial dominance hypothesis. It would also offer necessary recommendations for the formulation of breeding strategy in shrimps.
