Genomics of growth traits in forest trees [PDF]
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2009 Growth traits in trees are fundamental components of adaptation in a forest ecosystem and of productivity in planted forests. A number of processes determine tree growth, which are controlled by genetic and epigenetic factors that respond dynamically to environmental signals throughout centuries.

Random Forest for Genomic Prediction [PDF]
, 2022 AbstractWe give a detailed description of random forest and exemplify its use with data from plant breeding and genomic selection. The motivations for using random forest in genomic-enabled prediction are explained. Then we describe the process of building decision trees, which are a key component for building random forest models.

Assessing the adoption and impact of genomics research at the Canadian Forest Service
The Forestry Chronicle, 2017 The outcomes and impacts of government scientific research are difficult to evaluate, yet there is a growing demand for quantification of these impacts. Forest and forestry-related research is no exception. We adapted an impact assessment methodology for

Detection of Jaguar (Panthera onca) From Genetic Material in Drinking Water
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Jaguar (Panthera onca) are of conservation concern and occur at very low densities in the northern portion of their range in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. Environmental DNA sampling to detect genetic material from drinking water may

ForestQC: Quality control on genetic variants from next-generation sequencing data using random forest. [PDF]
, 2019 Next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) enables the discovery of nearly all genetic variants present in a genome. A subset of these variants, however, may have poor sequencing quality due to limitations in NGS or variant callers.
