Genomic tools for gorilla population dynamics and conservation


Abstract

Great apes are a global conservation concern. Reduced population numbers and continuous pressures pose serious threats to their survival. This project aimed to establish robust autosomal marker multiplexes for gorilla species identification and investigation of demographic processes. Owing to the difficulties that can be encountered while studying elusive wild gorillas, we developed an autosomal SNPs panel suited for degraded DNA, to be used in conjunction with Oxford Nanopore’s MinION for in-field sequencing of non-invasive samples. This technology allows us to assess population dynamics and structure in wild gorillas and can provide support to the fight against poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking.
