Core genes driving climate adaptation in plants Open
Closely-related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments1,2. However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential, and whether this is conserved across deeper evolutionary ti…

Evaluating the accuracy of variant calling methods using the frequency of parent‐offspring genotype mismatch Open
The use of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) data sets has increased dramatically over the last decade, but there have been few systematic analyses quantifying the accuracy of the commonly used variant caller programs. Here we used a famili…

Haploid, diploid, and pooled exome capture recapitulate features of biology and paralogy in two non‐model tree species Open
Despite their suitability for studying evolution, many conifer species have large and repetitive giga‐genomes (16–31 Gbp) that create hurdles to producing high coverage SNP data sets that capture diversity from across the entirety of the g…

Genome-wide shifts in climate-related variation underpin responses to selective breeding in a widespread conifer Open
Significance Temperate trees originating from warmer localities usually grow faster and acclimate to winter later than trees of the same species from colder localities. However, when trees are selected for faster growth, are climatically a…
