Abstract EN
Use of molecular markers for identification of protected species offers a greater promise in the field of conservation biology.
The information on genetic diversity of wildlife is necessary to ascertain the genetically deteriorated populations so that better management plans can be established for their conservation.
Accurate classification of these threatened species allows understanding of the species biology and identification of distinct populations that should be managed with utmost care.
Molecular markers are versatile tools for identification of populations with genetic crisis by comparing genetic diversities that in turn helps to resolve taxonomic uncertainties and to establish management units within species.
The genetic marker analysis also provides sensitive and useful tools for prevention of illegal hunting and poaching and for more effective implementation of the laws for protection of the endangered species.
This review summarizes various tools of DNA markers technology for application in molecular diversity analysis with special emphasis on wildlife conservation.
