Ecological and Conservation Genomics Laboratory

The University of British Columbia, Kelowna, British Columbia
What the facility does

Wildlife and fish population genomics

Areas of expertise

The Ecological and Conservation Genomics Laboratory (ECGL) combines high-throughput molecular data collection with a spatially and temporally explicit analytical framework to study genetic level responses of living systems to a changing environment. At the interface of ecology and evolution, ECGL research is directed towards reconstructing population-level patterns and inferring formative processes to study basic and applied questions associated with local adaptation, life-history evolution, demographic history, taxonomic status and conservation management in organisms spanning a wide taxonomic breadth.
