两栖动物和爬行动物作为一个群体往往是秘密的，往往在偏远的热带地区达到其最大的多样性，并包含地球上一些最濒危的生物群体。特别是在过去的十年中，遗传学和基因组学已经在这些神秘的脊椎动物的保护生物学，使工作范围从受贸易和剥削的人口的识别，以确定隐藏的关键遗传变异的神秘谱系，控制关键的生活史性状的基因的分析。在这篇综述中，我们强调了一些最重要的方式，遗传分析带来了新的见解，两栖动物和爬行动物的保护。虽然基因组学只是最近才出现的保护工具包的一部分，几个大规模的数据源，包括全基因组，表达序列标签，转录组，提供了新的机会，以确定关键基因，量化景观效应，并管理圈养繁殖种群的风险物种。
Amphibians and reptiles as a group are often secretive, reach their greatest diversity often in remote tropical regions, and contain some of the most endangered groups of organisms on earth. Particularly in the past decade, genetics and genomics have been instrumental in the conservation biology of these cryptic vertebrates, enabling work ranging from the identification of populations subject to trade and exploitation, to the identification of cryptic lineages harboring critical genetic variation, to the analysis of genes controlling key life history traits. In this review, we highlight some of the most important ways that genetic analyses have brought new insights to the conservation of amphibians and reptiles. Although genomics has only recently emerged as part of this conservation tool kit, several large-scale data sources, including full genomes, expressed sequence tags, and transcriptomes, are providing new opportunities to identify key genes, quantify landscape effects, and manage captive breeding stocks of at-risk species.
