The development of DNA-based genetic markers has had a revolutionary impact on animal
genetics. With DNA markers, it is theoretically possible to observe and exploit genetic …

The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the most widely studied of model fish
species. Extensive basic biological information has been collected for this species, which …

An international multi-laboratory project was conducted to develop a standardized DNA
database for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). This project was in response to …

Androgenetic doubled haploid progeny produced from a cross between the Oregon State
University and Arlee clonal rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) lines, used for a previous …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are appealing genetic markers due to several
beneficial attributes, but uncertainty remains about how many of these bi‐allelic markers are …

While supportive breeding programmes strive to minimize negative genetic impacts to
populations, case studies have found evidence for reduced fitness of artificially produced …

Background Genetic maps characterizing the inheritance patterns of traits and markers have
been developed for a wide range of species and used to study questions in biomedicine …

As with other species, frequency-dependent selection during reproduction has long been
proposed as an important mechanism in maintaining alternative male reproductive …

Application of high-throughput sequencing technologies to microsatellite genotyping
(SSRseq) has been shown to remove many of the limitations of electrophoresis-based …

Conservation of life history variation is an important consideration for many species with
trade‐offs in migratory characteristics. Many salmonid species exhibit both resident and …
