Abstract excerpt
High-throughput sequencing has revolutionised conservation genomics by enabling genome-wide information even in non-model species. However, obtaining non-invasive samples for genomics remains challenging in species like sea turtles, which spend most of their lives in the open ocean. In addition, traditional sampling methods are often impractical or unsafe for hatchlings, highlighting the need for alternative...
