A whole genome duplication occurred in the ancestor of all salmonid fishes some 50–100 million years ago. Early inheritance studies with allozymes indicated that loci in the salmonid …
An international multi-laboratory project was conducted to develop a standardized DNA database for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ). This project was in response to the …
As the conservation challenges increase, new approaches are needed to help combat losses in biodiversity and slow or reverse the decline of threatened species. Genome‐editing …
An introduction to articles published within the issue is presented, including an approach to discover single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for population genetics study of the ringed …
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 …
The genus Sebastes comprises at least 100 species worldwide and is the largest genus of marine fishes in the eastern North Pacific. Species within the genus are closely related, and …
Because of their high variability, microsatellites are still considered the marker of choice for studies on parentage and kinship in wild populations. Nevertheless, single nucleotide …
Recent advances in population genomics have made it possible to detect previously unidentified structure, obtain more accurate estimates of demographic parameters, and explore …
In their recently corrected manuscript, “Breaking RAD : An evaluation of the utility of restriction site associated DNA sequencing for genome scans of adaptation”, Lowry et al. argue that …
Hatcheries support nearly all major fisheries for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) and steel‐head (anadromous O. mykiss) in the Pacific Northwest. However, hatcheries have been a …
