The outcomes of FAASG will have diverse applications, ranging from improved understanding of genome evolution, to improving the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture production, supporting the future of fundamental and applied research in an iconic fish lineage of major societal importance.enSalmonid fishGenome biologyFunctional annotationComparative biologyStandardized data and metadataData sharingAquacultureWhole genome duplicationEvolutionPhenotypingArtículo
