Center for Conservation Genomics

The Center for Conservation Genomics is a research facility focused on using advanced genetic techniques to help protect and preserve species and their habitats. By analyzing DNA from animals, plants, and ecosystems, they identify genetic diversity, understand population health, and monitor changes over time. This information aids in making informed conservation decisions, such as breeding programs or habitat management, to ensure species survive and thrive. Essentially, they use genetics as a powerful tool to support global efforts in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
