With several tiger genomes and a new genome assembly we show that though Bengal tigers have the highest genetic variation, they are also some of the most inbred tigers. Also checkout the selection on the tiger genomes.

This tiger inherited identical copies of a mutant gene from both its parents. This led to the broadening of the black stripes. This and other unusual conditions can arise if the parents are related. Such situations arise in small isolated populations often for example, Similipal.

Tigers are top predators in an ecosystem. The presence of tigers in a forest means the presence of their wide variety of prey species which in turn indicates the presence of a wide variety of plant species and other small animals. Thus tigers symbolise a healthy ecosystem.

We studied wild populations of eastern black rhinoceros in Tanzania. We divide the individuals into cohorts based on their ancestry as individuals born of parents native to an area or an immigrant and a native parent or a captive born and native parent. We sequence whole genomes.

If we maintain the tiger populations we have currently the population will increase. We need to make sure the habitats are connected and ecological information is considered while developing infrastructure for human use. Then, eventually we will have a healthy tiger population.

Almost all tiger populations are isolated to some extent either due to geographical barriers or anthropogenic interference with the habitat. Some populations are connected within their own landscapes but most of the landscapes seem isolated from one another due to low dispersal.

We show that though geneflow from both natural dispersal or translocation from captivity can increase heterozygosity and reduce inbreeding, the individuals born out of translocation have higher deleterious allele loads.
