• Varying disease-mediated selection at different life-history stages of Atlantic salmon in fresh water 

  de Eyto, Elvira; McGinnity, Philip; Huisman, Jisca; Coughlan, Jamie; Consuegra, Sofia; Farrell, Killian; O'Toole, Ciar; Tufto, Jarle; Megens, Hendrik-Jan; Jordan, William; Cross, Tom; Stet, René J. M. (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2011-07-04)

  Laboratory studies on associations between disease resistance and susceptibility and major histocompatibility (MH) genes in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar have shown the importance of immunogenetics in understanding the ...
• Screen for footprints of selection during domestication/captive breeding of Atlantic salmon 

  Vasemägi, Anti; Nilsson, Jan; McGinnity, Philip; Cross, Tom; O'Reilly, Patrick; Glebe, Brian; Peng, Bo; Ragnar Berg, Paul; Primmer, Craig Robert (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-11)

  Domesticated animals provide a unique opportunity to identify genomic targets of artificial selection to the captive environment. Here, we screened three independent domesticated/captive Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) strains ...
• Multiplexing with three-primer PCR for rapid and economical microsatellite validation 

  Vartia, Salla; Collins, Patrick C.; Cross, Thomas F.; Fitzgerald, Richard D.; Gauthier, David T.; McGinnity, Philip; Mirimin, Luca; Carlsson, Jens (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2014-07-07)

  The next generation sequencing revolution has enabled rapid discovery of genetic markers, however, development of fully functioning new markers still requires a long and costly process of marker validation. This study ...
• The signature of fine scale local adaptation in Atlantic salmon revealed from common garden experiments in nature 

  O'Toole, Ciar L.; Reed, Thomas E.; Bailie, Deborah; Bradley, Caroline; Cotter, Deirdre; Coughlan, Jamie; Cross, Tom; Dillane, Eileen; McEvoy, Sarah; Ó Maoiléidigh, Niall; Prodöhl, Paulo; Rogan, Ger; McGinnity, Philip (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015-07-24)

  Understanding the extent, scale and genetic basis of local adaptation (LA) is important for conservation and management. Its relevance in salmonids at microgeographic scales, where dispersal (and hence potential gene flow) ...
• Population genomic analyses of early-phase Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) domestication/captive breeding 

  Mäkinen, Hannu; Vasemägi, Anti; McGinnity, Philip; Cross, Tom F.; Primmer, Craig R. (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2014-10-24)

  Domestication can have adverse genetic consequences, which may reduce the fitness of individuals once released back into the wild. Many wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations are threatened by anthropogenic ...
