Genomics and conservation genetics

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006
In large part, the relevance of genetics to conservation rests on the premise that neutral marker variation in populations reflects levels of detrimental and adaptive genetic variation. Despite its prominence, this tenet has been difficult to evaluate, until now.

From Conservation Genetics to Conservation Genomics

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
Although the application of population and evolutionary genetic theory and methods to address issues of conservation relevance has a long history, the formalization of conservation genetics as a research field is still relatively recent. One of the periodic catalysts for increased research effort in the field has been advances in molecular technologies,

Cytogenetics: an important inclusion in the conservation genetics toolbox

, 2018
Conservation uses information from genetics to assist in management decisions. However, conservation genetics typically assesses genetic diversity at the DNA level but this alone does not address all the risks associated with managing wild and captive ...

Conservation of genetic resources

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1992
Abstract An overview of current conservation systems is presented along with a general framework of principles and concepts that govern resource conservation work. The article surveys national and international genetic resource conservation programs, outlines the current state of conservation systems for plants, animals, and microorganisms, and calls

Conservation genetics and genomics of amphibians and reptiles.

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2015
Amphibians and reptiles as a group are often secretive, reach their greatest diversity often in remote tropical regions, and contain some of the most endangered groups of organisms on earth.

Genetic conservation by regeneration

2020
Maintenance will generally include regeneration for multiplication or rejuvenation. Multiplication sometimes precedes long term storage and then it determines the potential genetic quality of a genebank accession. The plant breeder’s object is to find and use the best from genetic variation, whereas the collection administrator aims at collecting and ...

Conservation and the Genetics of Populations

Pacific Conservation Biology, 2008
I am sure many readers have experienced the excruciating situation of being involved in a conservation project that makes no effort to include a genetic component in the methodology. This is often due to a lack of understanding by managers compounded by an inability of biologists to remedy this situation by demonstrating the importance of genetics to ...
