Conservation together with monitoring efforts for the golden eagle volition produce goodness from the newly-completed golden eagle genome sequence – the commencement of 25 species' genomes sequenced yesteryear the Wellcome Sanger Institute, inwards collaboration alongside the University of Edinburgh.

There are simply about 300,000 golden eagles worldwide, alongside betwixt 9,300-12,300 pairs living inwards Europe. Despite existence listed every bit 'least concern' yesteryear the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species together with having widespread populations worldwide, the 508 breeding pairs of golden eagles inwards the United Kingdom of Great Britain together with Northern Ireland are largely restricted to the Scottish Highlands together with Islands.
The Scottish population is on the border of the global range, together with many existing the world populations are modest together with declining.
For the commencement time, the golden eagle has had its genome sequenced yesteryear the Sanger Institute together with its partners, inwards celebration of Sanger's 25th anniversary.
The genome volition enable additional studies of golden eagles together with volition assist inwards the conservation together with monitoring of the species. The genetic information volition assistance inwards identifying populations or individuals that powerfulness endure best involved inwards whatsoever reintroduction or other conservation projects.
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies sent golden eagle samples to the Sanger Institute close Cambridge. The sequencing teams extracted deoxyribonucleic acid from the samples together with used PacBio SMRT Sequencing applied scientific discipline to generate the first, high-quality golden eagle reference genome.
"With the golden eagle genome sequence, nosotros volition endure able to compare the eagles existence relocated to southern Scotland to those already inwards the expanse to ensure nosotros are creating a genetically various population. We volition likewise endure able to start investigating the biological effects of whatsoever genetic differences that nosotros detect, non exclusively inside the Scottish population, but worldwide," said Dr Rob Ogden, Head of Conservation Genetics at the University of Edinburgh together with a scientific adviser to the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project
