We generate and apply genetic data for the conservation of endangered species and populations throughout the world. We support captive breeding, reintroduction projects and natural population management through the delivery of DNA analysis to inform practical decision-making and broader conservation policy. Our group includes experienced applied conservation geneticists with expertise in traditional DNA marker approaches, next-generation sequencing and whole genome bioinformatics. We work across a broad range of taxa including plants, all major invertebrate groups and invertebrates. The Conservation Genetics Group also hosts the IUCN SSC Conservation Genetics Specialist Group secretariat and the coordinator of Edinburgh Conservation Science (ECOS). We also provide training through our MSc/Dip/Cert & Short Courses on Applied Conservation Genetics with Wildlife Conservation by online learning. Alongside our core research, we provide genetic analysis services to the wildlife conservation community and are always happy to provide advice and discuss potential collaborative projects.
