Abstract excerpt
Eld's deer, a conserved wildlife species of Thailand, is facing inbreeding depression, particularly in the captive Siamese Eld's deer (SED) subspecies. In this study, we constructed genomes of a male SED and a male Burmese Eld's deer (BED), and used genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms to evaluate the genetic purity and the inbreeding status of 35 SED and 49 BED with limited pedigree information. The...
