Researchers from UPSC and SciLifeLab in Stockholm have led the work to sequence genome of Norway spruce (the Christmas tree) a species with huge economic and ecological importance - and that is the largest genome to have ever been sequenced. The genome is complex and seven times larger than that of humans. The results are published in Nature.

 [2013-03-15] Sweden's governmental innovation agency, Vinnova, has evaluated its four Berzelii Centres, and has given a spectacular review for the one at Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC). The evaluation team concluded that it "is one of the top forest biotechnology research establishments in the world."
The UPSC Berzelii Centre for Forest Biotechnology has recently been assessed for the second time by an international evaluation team. The centre receives funding from the Swedish Research Council (VR) and the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA).
The Centre's success is due to many contributing causes, but the investigators stress that the most important reason is "an exceptional leadership" that has the vision, focus, commitment and skill that is necessary to make success possible.
