Salvelinus fontinalis Genome sequencing

Brook trout individuals were sequenced using low-coverage whole genome sequencing with a target depth of 3x. The goal of the project was to look for potential chromosomal inversions using indirect methods such as linkage disequilibrium and heterozygosity. The study provides insight into the importance of intraspecific species diversity and the role that potential inversions might play in certain populations while also examining the role of mitochondrial DNA in explaining the occurence of potential inversions.
