Bill Jordan Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, UK Title Olfactory Receptor Genes in Salmon Abstract My principal interest is in the genetics of adaptation. In general, my approach involves examination of the influence of variation in structure and expression of candidate genes on individual fitness and population persistence. Increasingly, I am using genomics techniques to identify novel candidate genes. However, I am also involved in using molecular markers to examine social, population and phylogenetic structure in a range of animal species.
