Scott recently described progress on the Douglas-fir SNP chip at Forest Genetics 2017: Forest Health and Productivity in Changing Environments. His talk, entitled Development of a high-density Affymetrix Axiom genotyping array for genomic selection in Douglas-fir, was presented at the joint meeting of the Western Forest Genetics Association and the Canadian Forest Genetics Association in Edmonton, Alberta. Scott described the performance of 55,776 potential SNPs that were tested on ~2,300 related and unrelated Coastal Douglas-fir trees from Oregon and Washington. Of these, as many as ~26K SNPs were successfully genotyped. Scott also reported population genetic statistics for two populations of Coastal Douglas-fir, and results from a small number of Interior Douglas-fir trees. The Axiom genotyping array will serve as an excellent foundation for studying the population genomics of Douglas-fir and for implementing genomic selection. The talk's co-authors included Keith Jayawickrama, Jennifer Kling, Matt Trappe, Valerie Hipkins, Terrance Ye, Stephanie Guida, Richard Cronn, Sam Cushman, Susan McEvoy, and Glenn Howe.
