New pine results from our PhD researcher Robert Kesälahti! 🥳

Species-specific DNA blocker helps to capture more unique reads and less repetitive genome than a universal blocker.

Great news for everyone working with large genomes!

Optimising Exome Captures in Species With Large Genomes Using Species‐Specific Repetitive DNA Blocker
Large and highly repetitive genomes are common. However, research interests usually lie within the non-repetitive parts of the genome, as they are more likely functional, and can be used to answer qu...

New research into the secrets of the forest: the Finnish tree population is made up of families and neighbourhoods
Although the offspring do not usually travel very far from the mother tree, the forest is still a mosaic of families.
