The Vertebrate Genomes Project Phase I: A global reference genome resource

The Vertebrate Genomes Project Phase I provides high-quality reference genomes for 816 species, enabling evolutionary and conservation insights across vertebrates.

Reference genome bias in light of species-specific chromosomal reorganization and translocations

The paper evaluates reference genome bias in population sequencing datasets of Arctic and polar cod using species-specific chromosome-anchored genomes, showing its impact on genetic statistics and chromosomal inversion detection.

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

Population divergence manifested by genomic rearrangements in a keystone Arctic species with high gene flow

The paper identifies genomic rearrangements in polar cod, showing their role in population divergence and potential local adaptation despite high gene flow.

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.
