Now online! Our perspective on the genomic offset simulation paper of @brandonlind.bsky.social and @drk-lo.bsky.social. In short: Genomic offset can predict fitness under changed environments, but performance is reduced under highly novel environments.

Happy to see this out! @brandonlind.bsky.social tested genomic maladaptation (offset) estimates with common garden data for 2 conifers. Climate adaptation candidate loci were no better than random loci. Populations included in model building matter. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
How useful are genomic data for predicting maladaptation to future climate?

New in MER! Study led by PhD student, Michelle Zavala Paez shows how whole-genome sequencing can be a game-changer for measuring telomere length in plants and help us assess their responses to stress. We’re super excited to continue to expand this work!!
