Integrating population genetics and conservation biology in the era of genomics.
As one of the final activities of the ESF-CONGEN Networking programme, a conference entitled 'Integrating Population Genetics and Conservation Biology' was held at Trondheim, Norway, from 23 to 26 May 2009. Conference speakers and poster presenters gave a display of the state-of-the-art developments in the field of conservation genetics. Over the five-year running period of the successful ESF-C...
متن کاملTHE YEAR IN ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2009 From Conservation Genetics to Conservation Genomics
Although the application of population and evolutionary genetic theory and methods to address issues of conservation relevance has a long history, the formalization of conservation genetics as a research field is still relatively recent. One of the periodic catalysts for increased research effort in the field has been advances in molecular technologies, leading to an increasingly wider variety ...
متن کاملConservation genetics in transition to conservation genomics.
Over the past twenty years conservation genetics has progressed from being mainly a theory-based field of population biology to a full-grown empirical discipline. Technological developments in molecular genetics have led to extensive use of neutral molecular markers such as microsatellites in conservation biology. This has allowed assessment of the impact of genetic drift on genetic variation, ...
متن کاملQuantitative Genetics in the Genomics Era
The genetic analysis of quantitative or complex traits has been based mainly on statistical quantities such as genetic variances and heritability. These analyses continue to be developed, for example in studies of natural populations. Genomic methods are having an impact on progress and prospects. Actual relationships of individuals can be estimated enabling novel quantitative analyses. Increas...
متن کاملIntegrating genetics and genomics in primary aldosteronism.
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common form of secondary hypertension, with an estimated prevalence of 10% in referred patients and 4% in primary care but as high as 20% in patients with resistant hypertension. It is characterized by hypertension with low plasma renin and elevated aldosterone that is often seen with hypokalemia. PA occurs as a result of a dysregulation of the normal mech...
