Structural variations in crocodile lizard populations provide novel insights into genomic variations in endangered animals.

Abstract excerpt

Population-scale genome resequencing of endangered animals may contribute to gaining an understanding of how genomes vary as population sizes become smaller, as well as the functional implications of such variation. In this study, we analysed structural variations and gene presence and absence variations in the genomes of population of the endangered crocodile lizards. We found that the frequencies of some genes...
