| Sumario: | Abstract Advances in genome scanning using high-throughput sequencing technologies has led to a revolution in studies of non-model organisms. The glyptosternoid fish Creteuchiloglanis macropterus, is widely distributed in the main stem and tributaries of the Nujiang River basin. Here, we analyzed IIB restriction-site-associated DNA (2b-RAD) sequences and mitochondrial DNA sequences, to assess the genomic signature of adaptation by detecting and estimating the degree of genetic differentiation among ten Creteuchiloglanis macropterus populations from the Nujiang River. The analyses revealed significant population differentiation among the up-tributaries, main stem, mid-tributary and low-tributary. Annotation of contigs containing outlier SNPs revealed that the candidate genes showed significant enrichment in several important biological process terms between up-tributaries and low-tributary, and exhibited prominent enrichment in the term macromolecular metabolic process between all tributaries and the main stem. Population dynamics analyses indicated that the Late Pleistocene glaciations strongly influenced the demographic history of C. macropterus. Our results provide strong evidence for the utility of RAD-seq in population genetics studies, and our generated SNP resource should provide a valuable tool for population genomics studies of C. macropterus in the future. |
