Scientists Sequence Endangered Tasmanian Devil's Genome
Jul 11, 2011A revolutionary species-preservation approach based on whole-genome analyses of two Tasmanian devils — one that had died of a contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD) and one healthy animal — has been used to develop a theoretical model to predict which individuals would need to be kept in captivity to maximize chances of preserving enough genetic diversity for the species to survive.
Additional information about the team's research is posted at the project website, http://tasmaniandevil.psu.edu
