Leveraging Synteny to Generate Reference Genomes for Conservation: Assembling the Genomes of Hector's and Māui Dolphins

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...

Observation Bias in Metabarcoding

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding is subject to observation bias associated with PCR and sequencing, which can result in observed read proportions differing from actual species proportions in the DNA extract. Here, we amplify and sequence a mock community of known composition containing marine fishes and cetaceans using four different primer sets and a ...

Designing Epigenetic Clocks for Wildlife Research

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The applications of epigenetic clocks – statistical models that predict an individual's age based on DNA methylation patterns – are expanding in wildlife conservation and management. This growing interest highlights the need for field‐specific design best practices.
