Segregation distortion: high genetic load suggested by a Chinese shrimp family under high-intensity selection

Abstract 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 org...
