Wildlife Genetics

Molecular methods for wildlife

Population genetics can be fundamental for wildlife management and may be used to estimate the risk of extinction, the management of invasive species, and the sustainable harvest of some animals.

We are experts in sample collection and working with non-model organisms. Reach out to discuss your specific ecological questions.

Population Genetics

Population Comparisons

Sample Input: Tissue biopsy or blood.

Cost: Species specific, enquire for a quote.

Minimum Sample(s): Six per group.

What is returned?

  • Project specific, but may include population comparison statistics such as genetic similarity, inbreeding coefficients, and relatedness.

Biomarkers

Sample Input: Tissue biopsy, saliva, or blood.

Cost: Project specific, enquire for a quote

What is returned?

  • A machine learning model that can be used to predict animal traits from molecular markers.

  • Consultation on how to use the model for ongoing analyses.
