Laura Duntsch: Are hihi affected by inbreeding?

Inbreeding can lead to a loss of genetic diversity in a small population and may reduce the adaptive potential of the species. We are using a recently developed genome assembly and 50k single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array to measure inbreeding in a species of conservation concern, the hihi (stitchbird; Notiomystis cincta).Choose your favourite poster to win the People's Choice Award at the 2021 SGS Research Showcase: https://auckland.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Fw8Omf43pstYUu
