Ahéhée' @ScienceNews, Indigenous journalist @josephvlee, my friends @KeoluFox @YrachetaJM. Navigating genomics as a Diné person has been a journey. But I am glad to improve health and assert our sovereignty through @NativeBio for and with amazing people ❤️ https://t.co/Ipej80H7gP

"Biobanking is a failsafe to safeguard biodiversity while it's still extant, and a source of actionable hope to recover biodiversity when it's lost." Learn more about the cloned Przewalski's horse Kurt, @sandiegozoo and @frozenzoo here https://t.co/h7gdJO5kSZ

Another sad day in US History relating to the tribal nations of North America. I tweet about conservation genetics, but the recognition of the rights of sovereign indigenous peoples is an important step in the global effort to conserve biodiversity. https://t.co/esiK1SrOqG

The vote was 5 to 4, with the majority finding that an 1868 treaty did not require the federal government to ensure the tribe had access to water.

A huge thank you to everyone @sandiegozoo (@PaulBaribault) and @species360 for making this work possible, and to @IrishResearch and @Fulbright_Eire for funding it. Thanks to all my co-authors: @frozenzoo (Oliver Ryder), @y_buckley, @JohannaStaerk, @DaliaAConde and Marlys Houck.

What a blessing. Having lunch with my 100 year-old mother and then helping her with her computer. Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Now two clones of a deceased stallion whose cells were preserved in @sandiegozoo Frozen Zoo for 40 years. Grow boys and sire foals that restore vanished genetic diversity!

10/10 @frozenzoo @bonesandbugs @eenork @morganneuro @arynwilder @zhipingweng the historical size of a species population is correlated with #extinction risk (smaller population=higher risk of extinction) via the accumulation of deleterious genomic content https://t.co/3akUGP3Mnj

Can genomics help? YES. Even one genome from one individual per species provides prelim assessment of extinction risk. Important role for genomics in biodiversity conservation @sandiegozoo #Zoonomia @ArynWilder @bonesandbugs @frozenzoo

Species persistence can be influenced by the amount, type, and distribution of diversity across the genome, suggesting a potential relationship between historical demography and resilience. In this...

It’s exciting to see the recognition of the need to move forward with this potentially transformative technology. Saving viable cells offers a plethora of options for the future - and for species today. Thank you @Revive_Restore & @ViaGenPets_
Excellent deep dive into #CloningForConservation: “The question is,” @frozenzoo said of the 10,000 cell cultures, “can these be used for restoring genetic variation?” https://t.co/w5uFofuw5C

It was great to be on CBS 8 San Diego with Oliver Ryder @frozenzoo, who has spearheaded vital biobanking work for endangered species for decades. Welcome the second Przewalski horse born from cloning! https://t.co/iIu2ILKwt5 via @CBS8

The endangered foal was born at a cloning facility in Texas and will join its genetic twin at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park
