ForestGenomicsLab

Forest Genomics Lab at NAU, we are a group of tree lovers interested in genomics, evolution and physiology | DEI in STEM

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

The Forest Genomics Lab is at the #PAG31 conference in San Diego! We are giving 6 presentations to showcase our lab's research projects in population genomics, genomics of drought stress and epigenomics of disease resistance.

Congratulations to Isabella Qualls for receiving the Hooper Undergraduate Research award at NAU! @NAU_UGResearch Isabella will be working on estimating differences in disease resistance among populations of the endangered species whitebark pine

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

Our new paper on GWAS of heat and drought stress of Douglas fir was published today!! https://t.co/TWg24c8omv

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

The NAU Forest Genomics lab is at #PAG30! Our group will give 3 talks, 3 posters and organize 1 workshop. Topics range from transcriptomics and epigenomics of disease resistance, to hybridization and population genomics.

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

Come join us at the Forest Tree Genomics session at #PAG30 at Palm 1-2, on Sunday 15th 8-12pm. Chairing the session with @rcronn1. See you there!

How flowering plants beat bloom-free gymnosperms to world dominance? An interesting @newscientist article by @PennySarchet that comments on some of the results of our work on contrasting rates of molecular evolution between gymnosperms and flowering plants.

[Penny Sarchet @PennySarchet]

I’ve recently had the pleasure of diving into a question I’d always wondered about: why are flowering plants so hugely successful? And why did they so rapidly displace the gymnosperms, which dominated Earth during the time of the dinosaurs?

A very much deserved break at the top of the mountains, thank you all for a great day at the Snow bowl! @NAUForestry @nau_cefns

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

Today we welcome Pablo Pelaez, a new postdoc in our lab. Pablo will be working in our recently funded @NSF CAREER grant in hybridization, epigenomics and stress tolerance in Douglas fir

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

Our lab is proud to be involved in this new collaborative effort to train Latinx undergraduates in Forest Science research @nau_cefns @NAUResearch, thank you @USDA_NIFA for the support!

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

Amazing team work @laura_fc @stilljustakriti @Amee_loketyang collecting samples for RNA and DNA methylation in our @USDA_NIFA funded project with @JillWegrzyn

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

Sean took some very nice pictures of his field work this summer. The first generation (F1) Douglas fir hybrids are 49-years old and growing beautifully in Idaho!

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

We welcome Sean Collins as a new PhD student in our group. Sean will be working on estimating species' genome-wide diversity and the genomic basis of drought tolerance in Ponderosa pine.

[ForestGenomicsLab @forest_genomics]

Last week to apply for the genomics postdoc at FGL @NAUForestry @nau_cefns Send us your application by August 1st. Interviews will start next week.
