Genome sequencing projects were long confined to biomedical model organisms and
required the concerted effort of large consortia. Rapid progress in high‐throughput …

We will soon have complete genome sequences from thousands of species, as well as from
many individuals within species. This coming explosion of information will transform our …

Biological Diversity provides an up to date, authoritative review of the methods of measuring
and assessing biological diversity, together with their application. The book's emphasis is on …

As most biologists are probably aware, technological advances in molecular biology during
the last few years have opened up possibilities to rapidly generate large-scale sequencing …

Abstract The University of California, Santa Cruz Genome Browser (http://genome. ucsc.

I discuss future challenges and opportunities in genetic approaches to biodiversity
conservation. Resolving taxonomy uncertainties and identifying diverged evolutionary units …

Background The process of generating raw genome sequence data continues to become
cheaper, faster, and more accurate. However, assembly of such data into high-quality …

Conservation genetics has provided important information into the dynamics of endangered
populations. The rapid development of genomic methods has posed an important question …

The human genome project has been recently complemented by whole-genome
assessment sequence of 32 mammals and 24 nonmammalian vertebrate species suitable …

Genetic erosion is a major threat to biodiversity because it can reduce fitness and ultimately
contribute to the extinction of populations. Here, we explore the use of quantitative metrics to …
