Phylogeography and population genomics of Racomitrium lanuginosum in the Arctic.
Project summary:
The main aim of this project is to determine the phylogeographic structure of the moss Racomitrium lanuginosum in the Arctic using genotyping by sequencing due to the ability to recover hundreds of variable sites compare to single sequences. The specific aims are i) reconstruct the relationships between lineages; ii) estimate the genetic diversity within groups; iii) investigate how Quaternary glaciations might have affected the evolutionary history of R. lanuginosum.
