In #BioScience: Sean Hoban Alexandre Aleixo & others provides an overview of how BSAPs can incorporate species’ genetic diversity. They focus on 3 areas: setting targets; committing to actions, policies, & programs; & monitoring and reporting. doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

🚨New #policy research! A recent study explores how the #conservation of #GeneticDiversity can be integrated into the EU’s Nature Restoration Regulations & why safeguarding genetic diversity is key to ecosystem resilience🌿 Read more here: coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/resources-data…

"In particular, the cost to sequence ... 1kb ... with Sanger sequencing abroad is ∼$20 USD ($10 USD forward plus $10 USD reverse). In contrast, the cost to sequence a gene with an Oxford Nanopore Technologies instrument locally is only ∼$1.73 USD." awesome impact Oxford Nanopore

🧬🌏 #DYK Genetic diversity is declining worldwide—but we can take action! Targeted conservation efforts can help reverse the trend. Learn more in the policy brief (available in 16 languages) 👉 coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/resources-data… #Biodiversity #ConservationGenetics

Securing financial resources is crucial for #conservation. As we explore innovative funding solutions—this year’s #WWD2025 theme—let’s ensure all #wildlife receives support. No species should be left behind.

🧬🇧🇷 THREAD | O DNA do Brasil foi decifrado. E ele revela um país muito mais profundo, desigual e surpreendente do que imaginávamos. Um estudo inédito mapeou o genoma completo de 2.723 brasileiros. Spoiler: somos o povo com o mais alto grau de diversidade genética recente no

Today is #EndangeredSpeciesDay. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ now includes 169,420 species, of which 47,187 are threatened with extinction. The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s #biodiversity. iucnredlist.org

We have a new pre-print! Here we show how selection may shape behavioral traits in small isolated populations. We also show selective signatures at genes associated with reduced aggressiveness, possibly involving alternative splicing Maëva Gabrielli Roberto Biello

Esses dias fizemos o lançamento os primeiros genomas da Biodiversidade Brasileira em um evento, prjeto em conjunto do ICMBio e o ITV. O projeto conta com a colaboração de diversos colaboradores de todas as regiões do nosso país. 😀🧬

Genomic data confirms that mutation cannot restore genetic diversity lost through population bottlenecks DOI: doi.org/10.32942/X2VW6M

What a fantastic resource!!!!! Congrats to the authors!

Our new preprint Scott V Edwards🧬🐦 Long-read genomes show songbird germline-restricted chromosomes (GRCs; expelled from somatic cells) are 70 % repeats and packed with active LTR retroviruses. A hidden reservoir for TE-driven innovation/diversification! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
