The relative contribution of drift and selection to transcriptional divergence among Babine Lake tributary populations of juvenile rainbow trout.

Abstract excerpt

Fine-scale population structure has been widely described for salmonid populations using neutral genetic markers, but whether that structure reflects adaptive differences among the populations remains of interest to evolutionary biologists and conservation managers alike. The use of transcriptomics to quantify population differences in genetically controlled functional gene expression traits holds promise for...
