Isolation-by-distance and population-size history inferences from the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) genome

The paper uses genome-wide data to infer isolation-by-distance and population size history in coho salmon, identifying genes associated with latitude and potential osmoregulation roles.

Whole genome linkage disequilibrium and effective population size in a coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) breeding population

This paper estimates linkage disequilibrium and effective population size in coho salmon using ddRAD markers, suggesting 75,000 SNPs for association studies and an effective population size of 100 ten generations ago.

Genome-Wide Association Study And Genomic Predictions For Resistance Against Piscirickettsia salmonis In Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Using ddRAD Sequencing

The paper identifies a SNP associated with resistance to P. salmonis in coho salmon and shows genomic selection models perform similarly to pedigree-based methods.

Functional Analysis of All Salmonid Genomes (FAASG): an international initiative supporting future salmonid research, conservation and aquaculture

The paper introduces FAASG, an initiative to study salmonid genomes to understand phenotypic variation and improve aquaculture and conservation.
