GEM3

GEM3's vision is to become a national leader in identifying and understanding the genetic and environmental mechanisms that contribute to adaptive and resilient species and landscapes, leading to evidenced-based resource management policies and practices... Idaho's approach is through Genes to Environment: Modeling, Mechanisms, and Mapping (GEM3). This statewide project combines research strengths in bioinformatics, complex modeling, ecology, fisheries science, genomics, geospatial science, remote sensing, and social-ecological systems (SES) science to contribute to one of the most compelling and contemporary national challenges of our time - understanding the "Rules of Life: predicting phenotypes from what we know about the genome and environment"... This effort includes the three research universities, Idaho State University (ISU), Boise State University (BSU), and University of Idaho (U of I), four primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and more than a dozen public, private,..
