SALMO SALAR AND ESOX LUCIUS FULL-LENGTH CDNA SEQUENCES REVEAL CHANGES IN EVOLUTIONARY PRESSURES ON A POST-TETRAPLOIDIZATION GENOME

Salmo salar and Esox lucius full-length cDNA sequences reveal changes in evolutionary pressures on a post-tetraploidization genome

Abstract Background Salmonids are one of the most intensely studied fish, in part due to their economic and environmental importance, and in part due to a recent whole genome duplication in the common ancestor of salmonids.This duplication greatly impacts species diversification, functional specialization, and adaptation.Extensive new genomic resou
