Conservation strategies for species under threat of extinction are founded on various lines of biological insight. The advent of high throughput sequencing technology and population level sampling are enabling genomic data to drive informed conservation and management strategies.
With this Collection, the editors of Communications Biology, Nature Communications and Scientific Reports welcome the submission of primary research articles utilizing genomic data in conservation research. We particularly encourage population-level genomic studies of wild animal health, and studies demonstrating the application impact of genomic data on conservation strategies in the field. We also encourage submission of reference genomes for endangered species of conservation concern.
