This study presents and validates a novel approach to reliably identify structural variations (SVs) in non-model genomes using whole genome sequencing, which was used to detect 15,483 SVs in 492 Atlantic salmon, shedding light on their roles in genome evolution and the genetic architecture of domestication.
