Description
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is seeking to purchase genetic sampling and analysis services for the Roundtail Chub species in Colorado. The project aims to determine the genetic population structure and management units of Colorado's Roundtail Chub populations. The services will be provided by Brigham Young University (BYU) genetics lab, specifically Dr. Evans. The project involves collaboration and data collection with CPW's Native Species Coordinator, CPW Aquatic Research Scientists, and other members of CPW's Native Aquatic Species Team. The scope of work includes genetic sample collection, DNA extraction, sequencing, and genotyping. The expected results will provide an understanding of Colorado's Roundtail Chub population structure, genetic variation, and management units. Key deliverables include quarterly progress reports, a final report, and an organized and well-documented copy of all data and computational code. Some of the key points to consider for this project include:
• The project's goal is to determine the genetic population structure and management units of Colorado's Roundtail Chub populations.
• The services will be provided by Brigham Young University (BYU) genetics lab, specifically Dr. Evans.
• The project involves collaboration and data collection with CPW's Native Species Coordinator, CPW Aquatic Research Scientists, and other members of CPW's Native Aquatic Species Team.
• The scope of work includes genetic sample collection, DNA extraction, sequencing, and genotyping.
• The expected results will provide an understanding of Colorado's Roundtail Chub population structure, genetic variation, and management units.
• The project has a budget of approximately $120,750.00.
