Abstract
Burbot populations in the Upper Kootenay watershed, transecting the US-Canada border, are subject to intense monitoring and management after severe declines beginning in the 1970s. Genetic monitoring is a high-priority goal for the East Kootenay Burbot Scientific Working Group, but managers do not currently have a genetic marker panel with enough resolution to understand genetic population structure and family structure in the Upper Kootenay burbot populations. Here, we detail the process of developing and optimizing a cost-effective GTseq panel to aid in the conservation of Upper Kootenay burbot. The final GTseq panel contains 331 markers with sufficient variation to accurately infer population structure and reconstruct pedigrees.
期刊介绍:
Conservation Genetics Resources promotes the conservation of genetic diversity and advances the study of conservation genetics by providing rapid publication of technical papers and reviews on methodological innovations or improvements, computer programs, and genomic resources, as well as on the practical application of these resources towards the development of effective conservation policy and practice.
