Beyond the SNPs: The unexplored potential of gene copy number variations (CNVs) in local adaptation patterns of Norway spruce

The overarching aim of the project is to determine the role of CNVs in the control of quantitative traits and adaptation in Norway Spruce (Picea abies), a keystone coniferous species of boreal forest.
