Abstract excerpt
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Northeastern US and Eastern Canada has high economic value for the sport fishing and aquaculture industries. Large differences exist between the genomes of Atlantic salmon of European origin and North American (N.A.) origin. Given the genetic and genomic differences between the 2 lineages, it is crucial to develop unique genomic resources for N.A. Atlantic salmon. Here, we...
