Using Molecular Markers to Help Preserve Domestic and Endangered Cell Lines
Today, scientists from the University of California, Davis, have discovered a revolutionary new way to save endangered species. By using molecular markers, they can now identify the cells of domestic animals and determine which ones match those of endangered animals. This method could be a game-changer for conservation efforts, allowing us to monitor the health of endangered species and preventing hybridization between domestic and wild animals. It could also be used to track the movement of endangered species in the wild, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for conservationists.
