Article Synopsis
- Genetic approaches are crucial for studying and conserving endangered populations, and using genomic analysis can enhance monitoring efforts.
- Researchers sequenced the genome of the wolverine (Gulo gulo), revealing low genetic diversity and a significant historical population decline in Scandinavia.
- The study's findings, including the development of a SNP-array for analyzing low-quality DNA, will support wolverine management and conservation while highlighting the importance of balancing genomic resource investment with direct conservation actions.
