Genomics for conservation: a case study of behavioral genes in the Tasmanian devil

2021-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The increased availability of genomic resources for many species has expanded perspectives on problems in conservation by helping to design management strategies for threatened species. Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) are an iconic and endangered marsupial with an intensively managed breeding program aimed at preventing extinction in the wild caused by devil facial tumour disease. Between 2015 and 2017, 85...
