Resources

In addition to those outcomes from new research findings and commitment to openly accessible primary data from our research, one of my favourite aspects of science is putting together and sharing new tools, databases, and archives - from our team to the world.

Here is a partial list of tools and archives generated and made available:

Salmonid QTLs extracted from broad thorough review and their locations mapped to Arctic charr genome
Supplementary material in this Molecular Ecology paper

Salmonid QTLs extracted from broad thorough review and their locations mapped to Atlantic salmon genome
Supplementary material in Genetics paper

R script for resampling to test QTL co-localisation relative to background expectations
Supplementary material in Genetics paper

Four transcriptomes of salmonid species
Available through our BMC Genomics paper

Database of pregnancy genes in viviparous squamates and mammals (and seahorse)
Supplementary material in Nature Eco Evo paper

Chromosome-level and annotated reference genome of common lizard Zootoca vivipara
Accessible from GBE paper

Reference genome of Midas cichlid  (now superseded by later work)
