Genomics-enabled caribou conservation breeding and monitoring in Jasper National Park
FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-19
Summary
This contribution supports furthering knowledge of caribou genomics to inform woodland caribou recovery and the conservation breeding initiative in Jasper National Park. The project will use new techniques and additional biological samples to build on previous caribou genetics work to ensure that genetic diversity and inbreeding are key considerations in the steps taken to augment caribou through conservation breeding.

Description (French)
Cette contribution permet d’approfondir les connaissances sur la génomique du caribou afin de contribuer au rétablissement du caribou des bois et à l’initiative d’élevage de conservation dans le parc national de Jasper. Le projet utilisera de nouvelles techniques et des échantillons biologiques supplémentaires pour s'appuyer sur les travaux antérieurs sur la génétique du caribou afin de s'assurer que la diversité génétique et la consanguinité sont des éléments clés dans les mesures prises pour augmenter le nombre de caribous par le biais de l'élevage de conservation.
Expected Results
