🦉 We’re proud to support the Canadian BioGenome Project, contributing to the sequencing of key species like the Great Gray Owl. By sequencing its genome, we gain valuable information that scientists can use to further understand how this iconic bird adapts to a changing boreal forest ecosystem. This genomic data is particularly important in Alberta, where monitoring population health is a good indicator of biodiversity and forest ecosystem health in the face of climate change and environmental stressors (e.g., wildfires).

The 2025 Alberta Life Sciences State of the Industry (SOI) Report survey is now live! State of the Industry (SOI) is the most comprehensive view of Alberta’s life sciences industry and the companies that are working to grow the life sciences sector and diversify Alberta’s economy. BioAlberta has partnered with MNP and Mustel Group, to gather industry feedback, which is crucial for documenting the economic impact of the life sciences industry, influencing policy, and guiding funding decisions that will shape the future of Alberta's life sciences community. Why participate? -Help inform government policies and funding decisions -Assist in identifying barriers preventing growth -Provide valuable insights to support sector-wide development Be counted – your participation is critical in providing an accurate representation of the life sciences industry in Alberta.

🍃Celebrating #WorldForestDay and the important role forests play in maintaining healthy ecosystems by purifying our air, storing carbon, and preserving biodiversity while supporting livelihoods and industries across Alberta and Canada! In the past two decades, mountain pine beetle has killed more than 20M hectares of lodgepole pine forests in western Canada. Genome Alberta is supporting initiatives to improve forest resiliency through genomics— one such initiative is the Transformative Risk Assessment and Forest Resilience Using Genomic Tools (TRIA-FoR) project. Co-led by Dr. Janice Cooke (University of Alberta) and Dr. Catherine Cullingham (Carleton University), this initiative tackles the mountain pine beetle epidemic and delivers actionable insights for resilience and recovery. Through TRIA-FoR, we were able to: - Reveal beetle expansion into jack pine, signalling broader threats to the boreal forest and informing management strategies. - Identifiy genetic markers in surviving trees, guiding reforestation with pest-resistant stock. - Model future beetle spread, equipping decision-makers with insights to safeguard forests against future outbreaks 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gQ7bmhQ6 Photos credit to Marion Mayerhofer, Antonia Musso, and Colleen Fortier. #Lumber #AlbertaForestry #Sustainability #PestManagement
