Barb Thomas with the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Science has been studying what makes a resilient forest, and will now sequence the genome for spruce and pine trees.
A research team at the University of Alberta is looking into why some trees in Alberta are more resilient when faced with drought, disease and the risk of wildfires by sequencing tree genomes.

"You can take that phenotypic information and you can build a model that links that to the genotype … that will help you determine whether or not are more robust or not for whatever challenge you're looking at," said Thomas.A team of researchers at the University of Alberta are sequencing the genome of trees to figure out why some trees are resilient when faced with climate change.
Charles Chen, associate professor at Oklahoma State University, is a researcher partner on the Resilient Forests project. "There are different populations of these species in each area, it's important to make sure that you're testing where could be moved in the future."
