Researching tree genomics 🌳🧬 | Outdoor and nature enthousiast 🛶🎿⛰️🚲
Deadline to submit an abstract for the 3rd Biennial Conference of North American Forest Genetics Society (NAFGS) has been extended by one week! New deadline: March 9th June 15th–19th, 2026 | Université Laval, Québec City, Canada www.nafgs.org/conference2026
Our new pre-print on quaking aspen genomics and sex distribution is now online! We included novel samples from Texan populations that bridge previously identified genetic groups. 🌳🧬 doi.org/10.64898/202... #genomics #treegenomics #trees #aspen #forestsciences
Male-biased triploidy in Populus tremuloides and genomic structure of its southern relict populations
Premise: Isolated populations at the southern range edge of aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) offer a unique opportunity to study ploidy, clonality and distribution of sex under arid, high-elevation ...

Elucidating Continental‐Wide Phylogeographic and Adaptive Processes Shaping the Genome‐Wide Diversity of North America's Most Widely Distributed Tree
Past population dynamics during the Pleistocene ice age and the Holocene era have profoundly influenced the genetic structure and diversity of species. Environmental heterogeneity has further shaped ...
