Abstract excerpt
Conservation genomics can greatly improve conservation outcomes of threatened populations, including those impacted by disease. Understanding diversity within immune gene families, including the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and toll-like receptors (TLR), is important due to the role they play in disease resilience and susceptibility. With recent advancements in sequencing technologies and bioinformatic...
