Population Genetics Research

Population genetic research is important for both wildlife forensics and wildlife management.

Here at the DNA Lab we conduct various population genetic research projects to answer questions about a particular species. Understanding the diversity, size and gene flow of a population is important for establishing state management programs. Projects are a combination of internal research, undergraduate and graduate thesis research and contract work with outside agencies.

If you are a state agency, looking to have genetic analyses conducted please contact us at (570) 422-7892 or wildlifedna@esu.edu.
