Olive Genomics
Project harnesses global genome and transcriptome sequencing of olive genotypes to decode biodiversity, evolutionary adaptation, and human-driven migration patterns. By assembling high-resolution datasets from wild and cultivated varieties across continents, the project maps genetic diversity hotspots, identifies loci underpinning traits like drought tolerance and fruit yield, and reconstructs ancient dispersal routes shaped by trade and agriculture.
