Description

These guidelines address Strategic Priority Area 1 of the Global Plan of Action - "Characterization, Inventory and Monitoring of Trends and Associated Risks". A short overview of progress in molecular characterization of animal genetic resources over the last two decades and prospects for the future is followed by a section that provides practical advice for researchers who wish to undertake a characterization study. Emphasis is given to the importance of obtaining high-quality and representative biological samples, yielding standardized data that may be integrated into analyses on an international scale.
