The comparison of de novo genomes from the white, black, Sumatran, and greater one-horned rhinoceroses with the genomes of a historic Javan rhinoceros and three extinct Pleistocene species resolves the evolutionary relationships within the Rhinocerotidae family and reveals that low genetic diversity is a long-term feature of rhinoceroses.

May 17, 2006 · With a total population of less than 60 individuals limited to two locations, the Javan rhinoceros is perhaps the most endangered large mammal on earth. Although species specific information is crucial to its conservation, its precarious status, habitat inaccessibility, and behavioral adaptations pose major obstacles to its study. Here we report on the first genetic analysis of the two extant ...
