The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity
assessment, conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for
scientifically informed management decisions. Here we survey the main approaches
and applications in biodiversity and conservation genomics, considering
practical factors, such as cost, time, prerequisite skills, and current shortcomings
of applications. Most approaches perform best in combination with reference
genomes from the target species or closely related species. We review case
studies to illustrate how reference genomes can facilitate biodiversity research
and conservation across the tree of life. We conclude that the time is ripe to view
reference genomes as fundamental resources and to integrate their use as a
best practice in conservation genomics.
