Abstract excerpt

Despite 40 years of conservation of the critically endangered Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis), the genomic underpinnings of its status remained uncharted. Genome sequencing data of 244 individuals uncovered relatively low overall genomic diversity/heterozygosity and long runs of homozygosity, with captive populations exhibiting higher heterozygosity and smaller inbreeding coefficients compared to wild...
