| Bighead carp and silver carp (Asian carp) were introduced to the US in early 1970s and are extremely abundant in the Mississippi River basin (MRB). Extensive hybridization between Asian carp, a relatively uncommon phenomenon within native river habitats in China, has been identified in MRB. In this talk results of the population genomic, transcriptomic and the potential mechanisms involving Asian carp hybridization will be illustrated. |
