• Comparison of anadromous and landlocked Atlantic salmon genomes reveals signatures of parallel and relaxed selection across the Northern Hemisphere 

      Kjærner-Semb, Erik Nordtorp; Edvardsen, Rolf Brudvik; Ayllon, Fernando; Vogelsang, Petra; Furmanek, Tomasz; Rubin, Carl-Johan; Veselov, Alexey E.; Nilsen, Tom Ole; McCormick, Stephen D.; Primmer, Craig R.; Wargelius, Anna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Most Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations follow an anadromous life cycle, spending early life in freshwater, migrating to the sea for feeding, and returning to rivers to spawn. At the end of the last ice age ~10,000 ...
    • The early marine distribution of Atlantic salmon in the North-east Atlantic: A genetically informed stock-specific synthesis 

      Gilbey, John; Utne, Kjell Rong; Wennevik, Vidar; Beck, Alexander Christian; Kausrud, Kyrre Linné; Hindar, Kjetil; de Leaniz, Carlos Garcia; Cherbonnel, Corrine; Coughlan, Jamie; Cross, Tom F.; Dillane, Eileen; Ensing, Dennis; García-Vázquez, Eva; Hole, Lars Robert; Holm, Marianne; Holst, Jens Christian; Jacobsen, Jan Arge; Jensen, Arne Johan; Karlsson, Sten; Ó Maoiléidigh, Niall; Mork, Kjell Arne; Nielsen, Einar Eg; Nøttestad, Leif; Primmer, Craig R.; Prodöhl, Paulo; Prusov, Sergey; Stevens, Jamie R.; Thomas, Katie; Whelan, Ken; McGinnity, Philip; Verspoor, Eric (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The survival of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), an increasingly rare anadromous species, has declined dramatically during its marine phase, with disproportionate impacts on the poorly understood early post-smolt period. ...

      We describe an emerging initiative - the ‘Functional Annotation of All Salmonid Genomes’ (FAASG), which will leverage the extensive trait diversity that has evolved since a whole genome duplication event in the salmonid ...
    • Life history genomic regions explain differences in Atlantic salmon marine diet specialization
