Overview

This workflow integrates genomic and climate data to optimize seed production areas, implying better biodiversity conservation.

Key Points

  • The research aims to develop a workflow that uses genomic and climate data to design effective seed production areas (SPAs) for enhancing genetic diversity.
  • Integrated genomic data with future climate projections to identify genetic neighbourhoods.
  • Utilized a climate-matching tool to find external genetic neighbourhoods with analogous climates.
  • Evaluated common allelic diversity under various sampling decisions.
  • Developed an optimisation method to maximize allele representation using site frequency spectra.
  • Implemented strategies: local, predictive, and climate-adjusted provenancing.
  • Multiple sampling strategies could capture over 90% of common alleles from local genetic neighbourhoods.
  • Including climate-matched sources nearly doubled allelic representation in SPAs.
  • The workflow proved adaptable to practical limitations like site inaccessibility.
