Identification of a single genomic region associated with seasonal river return timing in adult Scottish Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) identified using a genome-wide association study.
Examination of the genetic basis of the timing of the return migration of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) to freshwater from the sea, a trait of economic and conservation interest, was carried out using a genome-wide association study. Genotype data from 52,731 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) m...
