Introduction to conservation genetics and genomics

Genomic information can improve the effectiveness of recovery programs for threatened plants, from informing resilient restoration practices to establishing evolutionarily representative ex situ collections.​

​Simple genomic studies should be viewed as an initial step in decision-making, as they inform long-term recovery efforts in multiple ways.  ​

​
We introduce and explain simple, standardised workflows that will guide efficient planning and application of genetic information across disparate projects and illustrate with relevant examples.​
