The Center has established a high biological conservation center for the breeding of P. monodon shrimp seeds that meet international standards,has integrated more than 40 professional technologies to select P. monodon shrimp strains that are specific pathogens free (SPF)have special traits for stocking in the three-hectare commercial P. monodon shrimp seed expansion test site in Hualien. This will provide a stable supply of good P. monodon shrimp seeds for use by the Taiwan aquaculture industry.

Single colored varietysingle exported market is the hidden risk for the Oncidium industry in Taiwan. To develop new varietiesenlarge market value is the goal,to establish a global trade mark is a national aim. The work to develop a Honey Snow white flower oncidum is pursuant to the policy. In the past year, our research team paid effort to breed a white floral color variety successfully by using RNA interference strategy.

CRISPR/Cas9 is the powerfulpopular genome editing technology which can recognize target gene by a single guide RNA with the advantages of precision, high efficiency, easy manipulation,low cost to be applied to promote the precision breeding of aquatic organisms. The potentials of genome editing in the precision breeding of ornamental fish are mainly focused on infertility control, alternation of colorshape, growth promotion, sex control, stress tolerance, virus resistance, etc.

We are proposing a pipeline including de novo genome assemblywhole genome SNP array design to improve the practice in precision medicineprecision agriculture. We design GABOLA, a de novo genome assembly system, combining advantages in leading sequencing platform, to construct completeaccurate individual genomes. GABOLA can resolve large structural variants, fills the gap in human reference genome,avoid the bias from reference genome. We combine the knowledge of population geneticsfunctional information to design whole genome SNP array to aid future genomic study.
