This study identifies climate adaptation genes in black spruce across Canada using genetic and environmental association analyses.

The paper develops and validates an exome-wide SNP genotyping array for black and red spruces, showing its utility for hybridization studies and transferability to white and Norway spruces.

The paper assesses transcriptome-wide SNP diversity and adaptive variation in conifers, finding limited convergence at the molecular level but increased convergence at gene family and biological process levels.

This study develops high-density linkage maps for Sitka spruce using SNP markers, enhancing genomic resources for conifers and supporting genome assembly and genetic management.
