Evaluating genomic offset predictions in a forest tree with high population genetic structure Open
Predicting how tree populations will respond to climate change is an urgent societal concern. An increasingly popular way to make such predictions is the genomic offset (GO) approach, which aims to use genomic and climate data to identify …
