Longitudinal, Deep-Phenotyped Pediatric Databank of Medical and Drug Therapy Outcomes

This sequencing project will enable improvements to drug safety and effectiveness in children by making genomic data on their responses and adverse reactions to various medications more widely accessible to researchers and health regulatory agencies. This project will leverage the existing resources of the Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety (CPNDS) to bring a pediatric […]

Pan-Canadian Initiative Linking Genomic, Environmental and Mental Health Data in Children and Youth (Pan-GEM)

Why is this research important to Alberta? Mental health disorders (MHDs) affect 1 in 5 children and youth (1.6 million Canadians). MHDs typically begin early in life (75% before the age of 25) and persist/worsen if not effectively treated. MHD diagnosis relies heavily on clinical observations rather than defined biomarkers, contributing to diagnostic and treatment

Climate Action Through Grazing (CAT-G)

Why is this research important to Alberta? Protecting Canada’s highly threatened grasslands through managed grazing, maintaining ecosystems while supporting ranch profitability. Reducing methane emissions from beef cattle using genomics, fecal microbiome analyses, and adaptive grazing strategies. Enhancing grassland soil carbon sequestration by integrating soil microbiome and plant metabolomics data to guide grazing practices. Identifying drivers

PeaCE (Pea Climate-Efficient): Developing climate-resilient, low carbon footprint field pea as a preferred rotation crop through the inter-disciplinary integration of genomic technologies

The global demand for food is expected to increase by 35–50% by 2050. To meet this demand and alleviate strain on agriculture, synthetic nitrogen fertilizers are increasingly applied to oilseeds and cereal crops to maximize yields. However, nitrogen fertilizer contributes to nitrous oxide emissions, a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG) that is approximately 300 times more

The Canadian BioGenome Project

The richness of Canada’s biodiversity is under threat today due to climate change, habitat destruction and novel emerging diseases. A common thread across conservation strategies is the need for genomic tools to address knowledge gaps related to species evolution, adaption, viability, and genetic diversity. A reference-quality whole genome sequence is the foundation for such genetic

Application of genomics to enhance wetland treatment systems for remediation of processed water in northern environments

Why is this research important to Alberta? Surface mining of Alberta’s oil sands generates large volumes of oil sands process water (OSPW), posing major environmental and regulatory challenges. As mine closure and reclamation timelines tighten, efficient, scalable, and socially acceptable remediation technologies are urgently required. This project applies genomics to enhance the performance of constructed

TRIA-FoR: Transformative risk assessment and forest resilience using genomic tools for the Mountain Pine Beetle outbreak

Why is this research important to Alberta? Alberta’s forest sector faces future risk from mountain pine beetle (MPB), threatening timber supply, rural livelihoods, community well-being and ecosystem health. TRIA-FoR genomics-enabled research has shed new light on key risk components influencing MPB impacts on forest health. We discovered MPB resistance traits in lodgepole pine that can
