Abstract excerpt

In this study, we provide a comprehensive genomic analysis of population structure, genetic diversity, and load across the four Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) subspecies using whole-genome sequencing data of 81 wild-born individuals, with most of them currently living under human care. Our results reveal striking contrast in inbreeding: the Bornean subspecies (E.m. borneensis) exhibits the highest level of...
