This study produces a chromosomal-level genome assembly for westslope cutthroat trout and identifies interspecific chromosomal rearrangements with rainbow trout.

This study uses genome resequencing to analyze the evolutionary history and population structure of Fraser River salmon, identifying genetic groups, adaptive loci, and factors influencing their distribution.

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.

This paper generates a reference genome and SNP database for chum salmon, identifies geographic genetic variation, and links SNPs to phenotypic sex.

The paper analyzes the pink salmon genome to identify genomic consequences of a two-year life-cycle, finding Fst peaks and gene regions associated with temporal isolation and selection.

This study identifies candidate genes for sea lice resistance in Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout through genome-wide association studies.

The paper identifies 120 candidate genes associated with resistance to Piscirickettsia salmonis in three salmonid species using GWAS and comparative genomics.

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.

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.
