The relationship of genetic diversity and inbreeding to extinction risk across over 500 vertebrate diploid genomes
Genetics may help address the biodiversity crisis by providing information about genetic diversity and temporal changes in demography for species of interest. Advances in whole-genome sequencing create new opportunities for demographic analysis, even based on the two copies of a genome found in a single diploid individual. The Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) is generating high-quality,…
