Captive populations play a vital role in conservation, supporting both in situ and ex situ conservation projects. A healthy, self‐sustaining captive population serves as valuable insurance against extinctions and a source of individuals for reintroduction into the wild. Genetic and genomic data can advance conservation and management across a range of scenarios. Although expanding, genomic data do not exist for most captive populations and there remain few examples of how these data can be integrated directly into conservation efforts. In this issue of Molecular Ecology Resources, Humble et al. (2020) present a chromosomal‐level genome assembly for the extinct‐in‐the‐wild scimitar‐horned oryx (Oryx dammah), and resequencing data to survey genetic variation across captive populations. These data are exciting for reintroduction planning by offering guidance for selecting source populations to maximize global genetic variation and valuable resources for effective post‐release monitoring. The genomic resources generated also are valuable tools with the power to yield novel and important insights into the evolution of scimitar‐horned oryx and other antelope species.

将基因组学整合到保护管理中。

圈养种群在保护中发挥着至关重要的作用,支持就地和异地保护项目。健康、自给自足的圈养种群是防止灭绝的宝贵保障,也是重新引入野外的个体来源。遗传和基因组数据可以在一系列场景中促进保护和管理。尽管不断扩大,但大多数圈养种群的基因组数据并不存在,而且如何将这些数据直接整合到保护工作中的例子很少。在本期分子生态资源中,Humble 等人。(2020) 提出了已灭绝的野生弯刀角羚羊 ( Oryx dammah ) 的染色体水平基因组组装),并重新测序数据以调查圈养种群的遗传变异。这些数据为重新引入计划提供了指导,为选择源种群以最大化全球遗传变异和有效释放后监测的宝贵资源提供指导。产生的基因组资源也是有价值的工具,能够对弯角羚羊和其他羚羊物种的进化产生新颖而重要的见解。
