Evolutionary & Conservation Genomics
UCSC Conservation Genomics goes global at Davos 2020
The Genome 10K Project‘s growing community of leading scientists representing major zoos, museums, research centers, and universities around the world is well on its way to coordinating tissue specimens and genome sequences to build a collection of 10,000 vertebrate genomes.
Evolutionary and conservation genomics can help us understand what went wrong with extinct species. Investigating extinct creatures, like the passenger pigeon, can help endangered animals by restoring ancient diversity in currently present groups.
This type of investigation will allow us to become better at supervising our planet. It will also open doors to new ways of improving human health
The Genome 10K Organization is a community of scientists dedicated to the preservation and understanding of genetic diversity in the animal species on our planet.
CALeDNA is one of the programs run by the University of California Conservation Genomics Consortium, supported by the UCSC Genomics Institute
