The loblolly pine — whose genome is the largest ever sequenced — is the most commercially important tree species in the US and the source of most American paper products. The massive ...

The giant loblolly pine tree that looms over my yard and the yards of the next door neighbor and the neighbor down the driveway, is a pine for the ages. Its four huge arms, each as big around as an ...

BETHESDA, MD – MARCH 20, 2014 – The massive genome of the loblolly pine—around seven times bigger than the human genome—is the largest genome sequenced to date and the most complete conifer genome ...

The phrase "sequencing a genome" misleads. It makes the process sound so straightforward: A simple sequence of events leads to a sequenced genome. First, take the DNA that makes up the genome. Spool ...

The massive genome of the loblolly pine -- around seven times bigger than the human genome -- is the largest genome sequenced to date and the most complete conifer genome sequence ever published. This ...

A giant among trees, the loblolly pine boasts the largest set of genetic blueprints published to date. Even though it’s big on DNA letters, the pine’s instruction book lacks originality: About 82 ...

More than 50 years of genetics work to increase loblolly pine production in the Southeast has improved the trees' ability to act as carbon sinks that mitigate climate change, according to a new study ...

Scientists say they've generated the longest genome sequence to date, unraveling the genetic code of the loblolly pine tree. Conifers have been around since the age of the dinosaurs, and they have ...

One of Garland County's oldest and tallest residents has fallen. She stood for more than 120 years in a small copse of trees in the Indiandale neighborhood of Hot Springs. She fell with a booming ...
