Global South's Biodiversity Gaps in Genomic Databases Pose Challenges for Conservation Efforts
The Global South is home to incredible biodiversity, yet its species are underrepresented in critical genomic databases used for conservation. Researchers, including Dr. Ethan Linck and Dr. Daniel Cadena, highlight the challenges faced by Southern researchers, including lack of funding and access to technology. They call for better collaborations a...
