Polyploid organisms carry more than two copies of each chromosome, a condition rarely
tolerated in animals but which occurs relatively frequently in the plant kingdom. One of the …

Plant genetics studies and breeding programs utilize the genetic variation caused by DNA
polymorphisms. Molecular makers are used to detect these variations in the DNA. The …

Whole‐genome duplications have occurred in the recent ancestors of many plants, fish, and
amphibians, resulting in a pervasiveness of paralogous loci and the potential for both …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) is among the most iconic and economically important fish
species and was the first member of Salmonidae to have a high‐quality reference genome …

Target enrichment (such as Hyb-Seq) is a well-established high throughput sequencing
method that has been increasingly used for phylogenomic studies. Unfortunately, current …

Salmonid fishes may reside within or migrate between stream and lake habitats, or undergo
anadromous migrations between freshwater and the ocean. While the degree of anadromy …

Regions of the genome displaying elevated differentiation (genomic islands of divergence)
are thought to play an important role in local adaptation, especially in populations …

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are highly abundant markers, which are broadly
distributed in animal genomes. For rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), SNP discovery …

Evolutionary and ecological consequences of hybridization between native and invasive
species are notoriously complicated because patterns of selection acting on non-native …

The genetic underpinnings of incipient speciation, including the genomic mechanisms which
contribute to morphological and ecological differentiation and reproductive isolation, remain …
