Genetics of species differentiation and hybridisation in Eucalyptus

该项目旨在使用最先进的基因组技术来描述澳大利亚标志性的桉树中对物种形成和适应至关重要的基因和基因组区域，并研究物种之间杂交的重要性，特别是在范围扩大和收缩期间。在一项重大的国际努力下，一棵桉树成为第二棵被测序的林木基因组。该项目旨在将有关桉树基因组的不断扩大的国际知识与澳大利亚野生种群的进化动态联系起来，以提供前所未有的洞察力，了解物种的性质和影响其进化的过程。这些洞察力可能会为它们的繁殖以及澳大利亚的保护和管理提供信息。

This project aims to use state-of-the-art genomic technologies to characterise genes and genomic regions important for speciation and adaptation in Australia’s iconic eucalypts, and study the importance of hybridisation between species, especially during range expansion and contraction. A major international effort has seen a eucalypt become the second forest tree genome sequenced. This project aims to link the expanding international knowledge on the eucalypt genome to the evolutionary dynamics of wild populations in Australia to provide unprecedented insights into the nature of species and processes which have shaped their evolution. These insights may inform their breeding as well as their conservation and management in Australia.
