Abstract EN
In the recent era, due to tremendous advancement in industrialization, pollution and other anthropogenic activities have created a serious scenario for biota survival.
It has been reported that present biota is entering a “sixth” mass extinction, because of chronic exposure to anthropogenic activities.
Various ex situ and in situ measures have been adopted for conservation of threatened and endangered plants and animal species; however, these have been limited due to various discrepancies associated with them.
Current advancement in molecular technologies, especially, genomics, is playing a very crucial role in biodiversity conservation.
Advance genomics helps in identifying the segments of genome responsible for adaptation.
It can also improve our understanding about microevolution through a better understanding of selection, mutation, assertive matting, and recombination.
Advance genomics helps in identifying genes that are essential for fitness and ultimately for developing modern and fast monitoring tools for endangered biodiversity.
This review article focuses on the applications of advanced genomics mainly demographic, adaptive genetic variations, inbreeding, hybridization and introgression, and disease susceptibilities, in the conservation of threatened biota.
In short, it provides the fundamentals for novice readers and advancement in genomics for the experts working for the conservation of endangered plant and animal species.
