Building strong relationships between conservation genetics and primary industry leads to mutually beneficial genomic advances.. Molecular Ecology. 25(21). 5267-5281.0962-10831365-294Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/17825Several reviews in the past decade have heralded the benefits of embracing high-throughput sequencing technologies to inform conservation policy and the management of threatened species, but few have offered practical advice on how to expedite the transition from conservation genetics to conservation genomics. Here, we argue that an effective and efficient way to navigate this transition is to capitalize on emerging synergies between conservation genetics and primary industry (e.g., agriculture, fisheries, forestry and horticulture). Here, we demonstrate how building strong relationships between conservation geneticists and primary industry scientists is leading to mutually-beneficial outcomes for both disciplines. Based on our collective experience as collaborative New Zealand-based scientists, we also provide insight for forging these cross-sector relationships.en©2016 The Authors.Molecular Ecology Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License,which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.applied researchconservation genomicshigh-throughput sequencinginterdisciplinary researchnext-generation sequencingAgricultureConservation of Natural ResourcesFisheriesForestryGenomicsInterdisciplinary CommunicationIntersectoral CollaborationNew ZealandJournal Article2019-12-04Fields of Research::31 - Biological sciences::3105 - Genetics::310509 - GenomicsFields of Research::41 - Environmental sciences::4104 - Environmental management::410401 - Conservation and biodiversityField of Research::07 - Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences::0701 - Agriculture, Land and Farm ManagementField of Research::07 - Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences::0705 - Forestry SciencesField of Research::07 - Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences::0704 - Fisheries Scienceshttps://doi.org/10.1111/mec.13837
