Revealing the evolutionary history and contemporary population structure of Pacific salmon in the Fraser River through genome resequencing.

Abstract excerpt

The Fraser River once supported massive salmon returns. However, over the last century, the largest returns have consistently been less than half of the recorded historical maximum. There is substantial interest from surrounding communities and governments to increase salmon returns for both human use and functional ecosystems. To generate resources for this endeavor, we resequenced genomes of Chinook...
