Translating genomic advances into biodiversity conservation
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2023A key action of the new Global Biodiversity Framework is the maintenance of genetic diversity in all species to safeguard their adaptive potential. To achieve this goal, a translational mindset, which aims to convert results of basic research into direct practical benefits, needs to be applied to biodiversity conservation.

The potential of genomics for restoring ecosystems and biodiversity
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2019Billions of hectares of natural ecosystems have been degraded through human actions. The global community has agreed on targets to halt and reverse these declines, and the restoration sector faces the important but arduous task of implementing programmes to meet these objectives.

Exploitation of Natural Biodiversity Through Genomics
2007The genetic improvement of crop plants is the most viable approach to meeting the increasing demand for agricultural output. This goal may be achieved by using the wealth of genetic variation provided by nature. Until now, scientists have been unable to exploit the genetic potential warehoused in plant germplasm repositories for quantitative traits ...

The importance of genomic variation for biodiversity, ecosystems and people
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2020The 2019 United Nations Global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystem services estimated that approximately 1 million species are at risk of extinction. This primarily human-driven loss of biodiversity has unprecedented negative consequences for ecosystems and people.

Biodiversity, genomes, and DNA sequence databases
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 1996There are approximately 1.4 million organisms on this planet that have been described morphologically but there is no comparable coverage of biodiversity at the molecular level. Little more than 1% of the known species have been subject to any molecular scrutiny and eukaryotic genome projects have focused on a group of closely related model organisms ...

Exploring plant biodiversity: the Physcomitrella genome and beyond
Trends in Plant Science, 2008For decades, plant molecular biology has focused on only a few angiosperm species. Recently, the approximately 500mega base pairs (Mb) of the haploid Physcomitrella patens genome were sequenced and annotated. Mosses such as P. patens occupy a key evolutionary position halfway between green algae and flowering plants. This draft genome, in comparison to

Aspergillus in grapes: ecology, biodiversity and genomics
2008Black Aspergilli, which comprises species belonging to Aspergillus section Nigri, are distributed worldwide and have a significant impact on human society due to both their beneficial and harmful effects. Although black Aspergilli are mainly isolated from the soil, they are among the most common fungi causing food spoilage.

Biodiversity of Enterococcus faecalis based on genomic typing
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2013Enterococcus faecalis is a common inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tracts of different animals and is also found in other environments, such as plants, soil, food and water. The diverse nature of E. faecalis, which includes pathogenic, commensal and probiotic strains, calls for the development of tools for accurate discrimination and characterization

Genome engineering in biodiversity conservation and restoration [PDF]
Nature Reviews BiodiversityBiodiversity loss resulting from habitat destruction, climate change and other anthropogenic pressures threatens the resilience of ecosystems globally. Traditional conservation methods are critically important for immediate species survival, but they cannot restore genetic diversity that has been lost from the species’ gene pool.

Biodiversity among Buffalo genomes.
2013Archaeozoological data indicate that the water buffalo was domesticated between 4000 and 6000 years ago in the Indus and Yangtze valleys. Historically domestic water buffalo were divided into swamp and river subspecies that differ in morphology, behaviour, geography and chromosome number.
