UW researchers Kyle Gustafson and Holly Ernest were primary contributors to a paper -- about how pet domestic ferrets are inbred and have low genetic diversity -- that recently appeared in the online journal Evolutionary Applications.
LARAMIE - University of Wyoming researchers studied inbred domestic ferrets and determined the mammals have low genetic diversity on a global scale, according to a paper recently published in Evolutionary Applications.
This type of domestication can result in only a few individuals contributing to the gene pool of the domestic species, followed by a further reduction in genetic diversity when anim...
