Tigers of the World: Genomics and Conservation

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2019
Of all the big cats, or perhaps of all the endangered wildlife, the tiger may be both the most charismatic and most well-recognized flagship species in the world. The rapidly changing field of molecular genetics, particularly advances in genome sequencing technologies, has provided new tools to reconstruct what characterizes a tiger. Here we review how

Going beyond a reference genome in conservation genomics

Trends in Ecology & Evolution
The current biodiversity crisis demands scientifically based management. The generation of reference genomes is crucial in conservation, but is not enough to capture species diversity. By incorporating whole-genome sequencing (WGS) at the population level, Nigenda-Morales et al.

Evolutionary conservation in noncoding genomic regions

Trends in Genetics, 2021
Humans may share more genomic commonalities with other species than previously thought. According to current estimates, ~5% of the human genome is functionally constrained, which is a much larger fraction than the ~1.5% occupied by annotated protein-coding genes. Hence, ~3.5% of the human genome comprises likely functional conserved noncoding elements (

Conserved Synteny and the Zebrafish Genome

2011
Zebrafish offers significant opportunities for the investigation of vertebrate development, evolution, physiology, and behavior and provides numerous models of human disease. Connecting zebrafish phenogenetic biology to that of humans and other vertebrates, however, requires the proper assignment of gene orthologies.

Conservation and the Genomics of Populations

2022
AbstractLoss of biodiversity is among the greatest problems facing the world today. Conservation and the Genomics of Populations gives a comprehensive overview of the essential background, concepts, and tools needed to understand how genetic information can be used to conserve species threatened with extinction, and to manage species of ecological or ...

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. Particularly in the past decade, genetics and genomics have been instrumental in the conservation biology of these cryptic vertebrates, enabling work ranging from ...

Conservation, relocation and duplication in genome evolution

Trends in Genetics, 2003
Abstract The advent of whole-genome sequencing and genome-wide transcriptional profiling has opened up new approaches to the resolution of questions that only a few years ago seemed unanswerable. At the same time they have revealed new and sometimes unexpected patterns of gene conservation and functional compensation, chromosomal clustering of ...

Conservation Genomics of Threatened Animal Species

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2013
The genomics era has opened up exciting possibilities in the field of conservation biology by enabling genomic analyses of threatened species that previously were limited to model organisms. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the collection of genome-wide data allow for more robust studies of the demographic history of populations and adaptive ...

Primate conservation genetics at the dawn of conservation genomics

2016
Abstract Conservation genetics is a relatively young interdisciplinary field. Essentially, it concerns the application of genetic methods to threatened species. It aims to obtain detailed insights about their evolution, ecology, taxonomy, and population genetics and to inform conservation strategies.
