Leveraging whole genome sequencing to promote genetic diversity and population health in zoo-housed western lowland gorillas

2023-11-15

Abstract excerpt

The sustainability of zoo populations is dependent on maintaining genetic diversity and controlling heritable disease. Here, we explore the integration of whole genome sequencing data in the management of the international zoological population of western lowland gorillas, focusing on genetic diversity and heritable diseases. By comparing kinship values derived from classical pedigree mapping and whole genome sequ...
