      Atlantic herring in International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Divisions 6.a, 7.b–c comprises at least three populations, distinguished by temporal and spatial differences in spawning, which have until recently ...
    • A chromosome-level assembly of the Atlantic herring genome-detection of a supergene and other signals of selection 

      Pettersson, Mats E.; Rochus, Christina M.; Han, Fan; Chen, Junfeng; Hill, Jason; Wallerman, Ola; Fan, Guangyi; Hong, Xiaoning; Xu, Qiwu; Zhang, He; Liu, Shanshan; Liu, Xin; Haggerty, Leanne; Hunt, Toby; Martin, Fergal J.; Flicek, Paul; Bunikis, Ignas; Folkvord, Arild; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The Atlantic herring is a model species for exploring the genetic basis for ecological adaptation, due to its huge population size and extremely low genetic differentiation at selectively neutral loci. However, such studies ...
