Description
Summary:Efficient genetics tools are needed to provide information on the genetic constitution of endangered species. DNA quantification as a means of quality assessment of non-invasive genetic samples and a novel approach of SNP detection in non-model species called Random Amplicon Sequencing (RAMseq) were developed. These were validated during a non-invasive genetic census of the Eurasian otter ( Lutra lutra ) and performance of developed SNP markers in population genetic analyses was compared to that of established microsatellites. Effektive genetische Methoden werden benötigt, um Informationen über die genetische Konstitution bedrohter Arten zu erhalten. Die DNA-Quantifizierung zur Qualitätsbestimmung non-invasiver Proben und eine neue Methode zur Detektion von SNP Markern in nicht-Modelltierarten, Random Amplicon Sequencing (RAMseq), wurden entwickelt. Diese wurden während eines non-invasiven genetischen Zensus des Eurasischen Fischotters ( Lutra lutra ) validiert und die Effizienz der entwickelten SNP Marker mit der von etablierten Mikrosatelliten verglichen.
