RARE SPECIES INBREEDING PROBLEM: “They lose fecundity (often due to increasing homozygosity of deleterious genes) … The new genomic editing techniques should be able to restore heterozygosity pretty easily in living genomes. It may even be possible to revive “extinct alleles” from museum specimens or fossils.”
