The role of genomics in conservation and reproductive sciences.

摘要: Genomics, the study of an organism’s genome through DNA analyses, is a central part biological sciences and rapidly changing approaches to animal conservation. The genomes thousands organisms, including vertebrates, invertebrates, plants have been sequenced results annotated, augmented refined application new in transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics that enhance characterization messenger RNA, proteins, metabolites. same computational advances are catalyzing “-omic” technologies novel address fundamental research questions facilitating bioinformatic analysis enabling access primary derivative data public private databases (Zhao Grant. Curr Pharm Biotechnol 12:293–305, 2011). These tools will be used provide our understanding reproductive biology across vertebrate species promise revolutionize approach conservation biology.
