Our study investigated the genomic patterns underlying ecotype divergence in sockeye salmon, employing RADseq of paired population samplings of migratory (anadromous versus...

Salmonids have emerged as important study systems for investigating molecular processes underlying parallel evolution given their tremendous life history variation. Kokanee, the...

The Pacific sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka is a globally important food fish with high environmental significance to the western coastal regions of North America. Piscine...

This study provides transcriptome-sequence data from two ecotypes of kokanee salmon (stream and shore spawners). Each library is a pool of eight individuals collected while...

Climate change has already impacted many species, with the effects expected to worsen in the future. The potential of species to adapt to climate change has been estimated...

Freshwater fisheries represent important natural resources, yet a vast majority are threatened by anthropogenic stressors. Accurate baseline information on stock diversity,...

Meiotic maps are a key tool for comparative genomics and association mapping studies. Next-generation sequencing and genotyping by sequencing are speeding the processes of SNP...

SNP analysis in sockeye salmon

The goal of this project was to sequence and assemble a reference genome assembly for sockeye salmon using a combination of sequencing technologies and assembly programs....

Local adaptation is facilitated by loci clustered in relatively few regions of the genome, termed genomic islands of divergence. The mechanisms that create and maintain these...

In this study we evaluated whether the bacterial community associated with the external mucus layer of fish could be affected by surrogate hydraulic fracturing waste (HF waste)....

Genomic islands of divergence are involved in parallel evolution of sockeye salmon ecotypes

Sockeye salmon were sampled from multiple bodies of water in the upper Fraser River (British Columbia, Canada) and whole genome resequencing was used to identify variants from...

Linkage mapping reveals strong chiasma interference in sockeye salmon: Implications for interpreting genomic data

Kokanee salmon collected from two divergent spawning habitats (streams and shores) were genotyped using Restriction Site Associated DNA (RAD) sequencing.

Historical DNA analysis of archival samples has added new dimensions to population genetic studies, enabling spatiotemporal approaches for reconstructing population histories...

Genotyping-in-Thousands by sequencing (GT-seq) panel development, validation, and application for an ongoing sockeye salmon re-introduction program in Skaha Lake.

Recent ecotypic differentiation provides unique opportunities to investigate the genomic basis and architecture of local adaptation, while offering insights into how species...

Identification of multiple QTL hotspots in sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) using genotyping-by-sequencing and a dense linkage map

Conservation of life history variation is an important consideration for many species with trade-offs in migratory characteristics. Many salmonid species exhibit both resident...
