Large haplotypes linked to climate and life history variation in divergent lineages of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

The paper identifies a large haplotype block in Atlantic salmon linked to climate and life history traits, showing continent-specific haplotypes and introgression patterns.

eDNA metabarcoding and whole genome sequencing detect European-American Eel hybrids in northeastern Canada

Maloja: simple and scalable Snakemake workflow orchestration in the cloud

Maloja simplifies cloud deployment of Snakemake workflows by automatically scaling AWS resources, tested on ecological genomics tasks.

Genomic and machine learning-based screening of aquaculture associated introgression into at-risk wild North American Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations.

The paper evaluates SNP and SSR marker panels for detecting European introgression in North American Atlantic salmon and develops a machine learning tool for admixture estimation.

Whole genome sequencing reveals fine-scale climate associated adaptive divergence near the range limits of a temperate reef fish.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to identify climate-associated adaptive divergence in cunner fish across Atlantic Canada, revealing genomic regions linked to environmental variables.

A migration-associated supergene reveals loss of biocomplexity in Atlantic cod

The paper identifies a supergene linked to migration in Atlantic cod, showing reduced genetic diversity and population collapse due to overfishing.

Chromosome polymorphisms track trans-Atlantic divergence, admixture and adaptive evolution in salmon

The paper examines how Pleistocene glaciations shaped genomic and karyotypic diversity in Atlantic salmon through trans-Atlantic divergence, admixture, and adaptive evolution.
