Optimization methods for selecting founder individuals for captive breeding or reintroduction of endangered species.

Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing - 1 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

Methods from genetics and genomics can be employed to help save endangered species. One potential use is to provide a rational strategy for selecting a population of founders for a captive breeding program. The hope is to capture most of the available genetic diversity that remains in the wild population, to provide a safe haven where representatives of the species can be bred, and eventually to release the...
