The value of avian genomics to the conservation of wildlife [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Genomic studies in non-domestic avian models, such as the California condor and white-throated sparrow, can lead to more comprehensive conservation plans and provide clues for understanding mechanisms affecting genetic variation, adaptation ...

Perspectives of genomics for genetic conservation of livestock [PDF]
, 2009 Genomics provides new opportunities for conservation genetics. Conservation genetics in livestock is based on estimating diversity by pedigree relatedness and managing diversity by choosing those animals that maximize genetic diversity.

Genomic toolboxes for conservation biologists [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2011 AbstractConservation genetics is expanding its research horizon with a genomic approach, by incorporating the modern techniques of next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Application of NGS overcomes many limitations of conservation genetics. First, NGS allows for genome‐wide screening of markers, which may lead to a more representative estimation of genetic

The gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) genome
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 High-quality genome assemblies are characterized by high-sequence contiguity, completeness, and a low error rate, thus providing the basis for a wide array of studies focusing on natural species ecology, conservation, evolution, and population genomics ...

Conservation genetics in transition to conservation genomics
Trends in Genetics, 2010 Over the past twenty years conservation genetics has progressed from being mainly a theory-based field of population biology to a full-grown empirical discipline. Technological developments in molecular genetics have led to extensive use of neutral molecular markers such as microsatellites in conservation biology.

Conservation genomics: applying whole genome studies to species conservation efforts [PDF]
Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2004 Studies of complete genomes are leading to a new understanding of the biology of mammals and providing ongoing insights into the fundamental aspects of the organization and evolution of biological systems. Comparison of primate genomes can identify aspects of their organization, regulation and function that appeared during the primate radiation, but ...

A framework for testing the impact of co-infections on host gut microbiomes
Animal Microbiome, 2022 Parasitic infections disturb gut microbial communities beyond their natural range of variation, possibly leading to dysbiosis. Yet it remains underappreciated that most infections are accompanied by one or more co-infections and their collective impact ...
