摘要: Populations of the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) are in an impending risk going extinct wild as a consequence damaging anthropogenic impact on their natural habitat and illegal pet bushmeat trade. Conservation management programmes for have been established outside range (ex situ), chimpanzees from these could potentially be used to supplement future conservation initiatives (in situ). However, often suffered inadequate information about geographical origin subspecies ancestry founders. Here, we present newly designed capture array with ~60,000 informative markers infer individual ex situ populations determine confiscated sanctuary individuals. From test panel 167 unknown origins or labels, identify 90 suitable non-admixed individuals European Association Zoos Aquaria (EAZA) Ex Programme (EEP). Equally important, another 46 identified admixed ancestries, which therefore over time, should naturally phased out breeding populations. With potential re-introduction wild, 31 that were trade demonstrate promises using non-invasive sampling action plans. Collectively, our genomic approach provides exemplar endangered species offers efficient tool efforts combat wildlife
