Using genome science to support endangered species

A School of Biological Sciences research team was awarded more than $720,000 in Australian Research Council Linkage grant funding to investigate how genome science can be used to support preservation of four endangered species in changing climates and apply these learnings to help other species to survive and thrive. The funding was expected to contribute to larger, healthier populations of the endangered species, new ways of saving other species, and the provision of important resources for conservation managers.
