Clinal variation across replicated environmental gradients can reveal evidence of local adaptation, providing insight into the demographic and evolutionary processes that shape intraspecific diversity. Using 1773 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms we evaluated latitudinal variation in allele frequency for 134 populations of North American and European Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). We detected 84 (4.74%) and 195 (11%) loci showing clinal patterns in North America and Europe respectively, with 12 clinal loci in common between continents. Clinal SNPs were evenly distributed across the salmon genome and logistic regression revealed significant associations with latitude and seasonal temperatures, particularly average spring temperature in both continents. Loci displaying parallel clines were associated with several metabolic and immune functions, suggesting a potential basis for climate associated adaptive differentiation. These climate-based clines collectively suggest evidence of large scale ... : Salmon_AllRivers_GenepopGenepop file of all European and North American rivers with 1773 loci.AllRivers_Oct2016_1773LociGP.txtGenepop files of clinal lociTwo genepop files with clinal loci from North American and European rivers.ClinalLoci_GP.zipEnvironmental DataEnvironmental data used in our study for climate associations with genetic clustering coefficients.EnvironmentalData.zipR_scriptsR scripts for selecting clinal loci based on our criteria and replicating our analyses looking at structure and climate associations. ...
