Species-wide genomics of kakapo provides transformational tools to accelerate recovery

Joseph G. Guhlin, Marissa F. Le Lec, Jana Wold, Emily M. Koot, David J. Winter, Patrick J. Biggs, Stephanie J. Galla, Lara Urban, Yasmin Foster, Murray P. Cox, Andrew Digby, Lydia Uddstrom, Daryl Eason, Deidre Vercoe, Tāne Davis, , Peter K. Dearden

This paper uses whole-genome sequencing of kakapo to analyze genetic diversity and breeding values, showing how conservation management has maintained genetic diversity and providing tools for future recovery efforts.
