The climate crisis has to be addressed at the national and international level, but consumer choice plays a role. One thing we can do is switch from almonds (R in photo) to pecans (L). Both are similar in nutrition, but it is water use and geography that makes a difference. 1/4

Comparison of genomic relatedness computed with SNPs identified based on Angiosperms353 and DArTseq SNPs in 20 individuals belonging to Cordia africana. (Left) A heatmap showing pairwise genomic relatedness based on the Angiosperms353-based SNPs in the upper diagonal and the DArTseq SNPs in the lower diagonal. (Right) A graph showing the correlation between the genomic relatedness values computed with the two sets of SNPs.
From #phylogenomics to breeding: Can universal target capture probes be used in the development of SNP markers for kinship analysis?
