Here we critically review the scale and extent of adaptive genetic variation in Atlantic salmon
(Salmo salar L.), an important model system in evolutionary and conservation biology that …

… Aubin-Horth et al. found that hundreds of genes vary in expression between the two male
types, equal to about 15% of the portion of the genome that was examined. These include …

… salmon population, size was significantly greater for future mature parr than for immature
males suggesting that greater body size promotes residency and early maturity (Aubin-Horth & …

… ' male compared with immature males matches the profile observed in the present study for
reproductive D males, suggesting conserved function of these pathways(Aubin-Horth et al., …

… Environmentally sensitive variation in transcript abundance at the genome-wide scale can
now be measured as a plastic molecular phenotype (Aubin-Horth & Renn 2009; Pavey et al. …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) undergo spectacular marine migrations before homing to
spawn in natal rivers. However, males that grow fastest early in life can adopt an alternative ‘…

Background Unravelling the path from genotype to phenotype, as it is influenced by an
organism's environment, is one of the central goals in biology. Gene expression profiling by …

… N. AubinHorth and JJ Dodson (unpubl. ms.) observed that during the four years studied,
ratios of early maturity in males aged one year (calculated as the number of mature parr over the …

… This project was part of Nadia Aubin-Horth's research as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard
University. She is now a faculty member in the Département de Sciences Biologiques at …

Ecological and evolutionary genomics (EEG) aims to link gene functions and genomic features
to phenotypes and ecological factors. Although the rapid development of technologies …
