Footprints of directional selection in wild Atlantic salmon populations: evidence for parasite-driven evolution?

Mechanisms of host-parasite co-adaptation have long been of interest in evolutionary biology; however, determining the genetic basis of parasite resistance has been challenging. Current advances in genome technologies provide new opportunities for obtaining a genome-scale view of the action of paras...
