“…It was concluded that Indian peafowl shows remarkable changes compared to other birds in terms of genes associated with metabolism, immunity, and skeletal and feather development [13]. Surprisingly, a comparison of genomic data from green and blue peafowl suggests drastic differences in genome structure, including gene number in these two species [67], making this group of birds an interesting model for evolutionary changes in closely related species.…”

Aves ranks among the top two classes for the highest number of endangered and extinct species in the kingdom Animalia. Notably, the IUCN Red List classified the green peafowl as endangered. This highlights promising strategies using genetics and reproductive technologies for avian wildlife conservation. These platforms provide the capacity to predict population trends and enable the practical breeding of such species. The conservation of endangered avian species is facilitated through the application of genomic data storage and analysis. Storing the sequence is a form of biobanking. An analysis of sequence can identify genetically distinct individuals for breeding. Here, we reviewed avian genomics and stem cell approaches which not only offer hope for saving endangered species, such as the green peafowl but also for other birds threatened with extinction.
