Study warns genetic rescue efforts for endangered species may introduce harmful mutations.
A new study cautions that genetic rescue efforts to boost endangered species' genetic diversity could introduce harmful mutations.
Researchers analyzed rattlesnakes and found that while these efforts increase beneficial mutations, they also raise the number of damaging ones.
The study suggests that while the overall effect might still be positive, there's a risk of long-term genetic harm, calling for more research and careful monitoring of such programs.
