Adaptation to local environments involves evolution of ecologically
important traits and underlying physiological processes. One challenge in
studying the genetic architecture of local adaptation is to achieve high
marker density to detect candidate genes in natural populations that often
have small blocks of linkage disequilibrium.  Here, we used low
coverage whole-genome resequencing (lcWGR) to identify genome regions
involved in thermal adaptation in wild redband trout Oncorhynchus mykiss
gairdneri, a subspecies of rainbow trout that inhabits ecosystems ranging
from cold montane forests to high elevation deserts.
