Written by | Published: 04.13.2015

In this latest episode of #LabChat, Dr. Anne Schmidt-Küntzel discusses the efforts of the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Otjiwarongo, Namibia that uses microsatellite sequencing analysis to help preserve the genetic diversity of the existing cheetah population. About one-third of all surviving cheetahs live in Namibia.

For more information about their organization is available here, and if you are planning a visit to southern Africa consider visiting them as part of your itinerary. More information about microsatellite STR genotyping is available.
