Douglas-fir Transcriptome Observatory
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an economically important timber species which grows throughout coastal western North America.
Fisher Mitogenomics
Fishers (Martes pennanti) are abundant in eastern North America, but their rarity and geographic isolation across the Rocky Mountain and Pacific regions has resulted in petitions for listing these populations under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Sequence By Synthesis Micro-satellite Development
Development of micro-satellites (simple-sequence repeats) has historically been a time consuming and expensive task. We've recently employed sequence by synthesis technology coupled with multiplex massively parallel sequencing and traditional hybridization techniques to create enriched libraries of micro-satellites and sequence millions of them.
Antelope Bitterbrush Landscape Genetics
Antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) is an important forage and cover shrub in the inter-mountain region of western North America.
