How Developments in Cryobiology, Reproductive Technologies and Conservation Genomics Could Shape Gene Banking Strategies for (Farm) Animals
25 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Many local breeds are currently at risk because of replacement by a limited number of specialized commercial breeds. Concurrently, for many breeds, allelic diversity within breeds declines because of inbreeding. Gene banking of germplasm may serve to secure the breeds and the alleles for any future use, for instance to recover a lost breed, to address new breeding goals, to support breeding schemes in small...
