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 parallel epigenetic modifications in hatchery-reared Coho Salmon that may explain rapid fitness changes upon release, using RRBS to detect methylation differences.
