The structural variation landscape in 492 Atlantic salmon genomes

Identification of structural variation in mouse genomes

Structural variation is variation in structure of DNA regions affecting DNA sequence length and/or orientation. It generally includes deletions, insertions, copy-number gains, inversions, and transposable elements. Traditionally, the identification of structural variation in genomes has been challenging. However, with the recent advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing and paired-end mapping ...

Inter-varietal structural variation in grapevine genomes.

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the world's most important crop plants, which is of large economic value for fruit and wine production. There is much interest in identifying genomic variations and their functional effects on inter-varietal, phenotypic differences. Using an approach developed for the analysis of human and mammalian genomes, which combines high-throughput sequencing, arra...

The Epidemiology of Hemorrhagic Kidney Syndrome - Infectious Salmon Anemia in Atlantic Salmon in Atlantic Canada

Hemorrhagic Kidney Syndrome (HKS) is characterized by high mortality rates in Atlantic salmon seawater sites with unique histological kidney lesions. Virus isolation results were positive for the orthomyxovirus responsible for Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) experienced by Norway and also a new virus tentatively classified in the Togaviridae family was isolated in some, but not all outbreaks. Th...

Atlantic salmon – Salmo salar

Distribution Th e species’ range encompasses Europe, North America, and Green land (1) (Fig.1). Non-anadromous forms occur in Europe in a few land-locked locations in Norway and Sweden, and throughout the Neva/Lake Ladoga system and Karelia regions of Russia. In North America non-anadromous forms occurred throughout most of the species’ historical range, as far west as Lake Ontario, and remain ...
