Invasive species cost Canada billions of dollars each year. Now, a team led by UBC researchers has developed a new genomic test that can trace the Asian spongy moth—one of the biggest threats to North America's forests—back to its source, giving officials a better chance of stopping infestations before they spread. The findings are published in the journal BMC Genomics.
