Camelids

Camelids are of enormous agricultural importance globally, though their use is limited in the US and Europe. Their remarkable adaptation to challenging environments, including arid, hot and high elevation conditions, may prove an invaluable resource in our warming climate. Camelid genomics has lagged behind that of other species as polished reference assemblies have been slow in production. Yet resourceful and collaborative approaches have yielded significant discoveries and may serve as a valuable model for other, non-mainstream, agricultural species.
