The Genetics Research Group includes a very broad range of genetic disciplines and scales of investigation. A general unifying theme is the application of molecular techniques to study important commercial or evolutionary traits of forest trees.  The traits of study can range from expression of a single gene in a particular tissue to allele frequencies among hundreds of genes in populations that span a continent.  Information from the smallest scale of investigation can often be used in investigations at the largest scales. With this in mind the Genetics Research Group provides an organizational structure where ideas and information are openly exchanged among seemingly disparate fields of research.
