Genetic diversity among privately owned tigers
"The authors generated whole-genome sequences for 138 tigers residing in sanctuaries across the United States and combined the data with previously published genome sequences ... subspecies with the highest prevalence among the sequences examined were Amur and Bengal tigers. Genetic diversity and levels of inbreeding among the privately owned tigers were similar to those of wild populations. "
