This paper introduces an alignment-free method for microhaplotype genotyping using GT-seq data, enabling robust inference of diploid genotypes from high-depth amplicon sequencing.

This study quantifies the genetic variation and genomic basis of thermal tolerance in Delta Smelt under different rearing temperatures and examines the impact of hatchery ancestry on trait expression.

The paper develops a consistent SNP panel for monitoring genetic diversity and detecting successful translocation in Paiute Cutthroat Trout.

This study shows that high and low domestication index Delta smelt from a hatchery differ in thermal physiology, transcriptome, and methylome, with domestication increasing thermal tolerance but reducing plasticity.

MAXTEMP improves precision of Ne estimation by leveraging multigenerational temporal data in genetic monitoring programs.

This study evaluates eDNA detection methods in turbid water, finding that filter type and prefiltration impact detection success for a rare fish species.

This study uses population genomic analysis of speckled dace to identify three species-level lineages in California, supporting formal taxonomic recognition.

The paper develops qPCR-based eDNA assays to monitor vernal pool branchiopods, achieving high detection rates compared to traditional methods.
