Going beyond a reference genome in conservation genomics

Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Nov 30:S0169-5347(23)00324-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.11.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current biodiversity crisis demands scientifically based management. The generation of reference genomes is crucial in conservation, but is not enough to capture species diversity. By incorporating whole-genome sequencing (WGS) at the population level, Nigenda-Moralesetal. provide key genomic information for the conservation of fin whale populations in the Pacific.PMID:38040545 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2023.11.009
