Conservation Genetics

Conservation genetics is a blend of ecology, molecular biological research, community genetics, mathematical modeling and evolutionary systematics (the construction of family relationships). It is both a basic and an directed science. Scientists should first realise the genetic connections of the organisms under study. Once this basic science is appreciated by scientists, administration techniques should then be directed by wildlife managers to maintain biological diversity in these species.The zoologists describe it as "insurance"--eventually, the cells will be available for cloning projects.

There is a burgeoning repository of data accessible from ancient DNA that can be utilised to realise ...
