MhGeneS: An analytical pipeline to allow for robust microhaplotype genotyping

News

Article Title: MhGeneS: An analytical pipeline to allow for robust microhaplotype genotyping Authors: Julia C. Geue, Peng Liu, Sonesinh Keobouasone,  Paul Wilson & Micheline Manseau Abstract: Microhaplotypes are small linked genomic regions comprising two or more single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are being applied in forensics and are emerging in wildlife monitoring studies and genomic epidemiology. Typically, targeted in non-coding regions,…

Hot off the press: Assessing the suitability of a one-time sampling event for close-kin mark-recapture: A caribou case study

News

Article Title: Assessing the suitability of a one-time sampling event for close-kin mark-recapture: A caribou case study Abstract: Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture or spatially explicit capture–recapture is now common, such approaches are logistically challenging and expensive for…
