Genomic effects of population collapse in a critically endangered ironwood tree Ostrya rehderiana

Genomic effects of population collapse in a critically endangered ironwood tree Ostrya rehderiana

Here, Liu et al. compare the genomic signatures of two tree species, one of which had undergone population collapse. The declining species had low genetic diversity, but had more strongly purged severely deleterious recessive variations, likely due to inbreeding and perhaps mitigating extinction ris...
