Recent advances in molecular genetic techniques have generated a new and exciting range of possible applications of genetic methods to bear (Ursus spp.) research, conservation, and management. These advances have led to an explosion in genetic research on bear populations and an increased interest in genetic technology among researchers working in other scientific disciplines. This paper provides an overview of genetic techniques and markers, recent publications, and future directions. Five major applications of genetic analyses are addressed: forensics, population structure and gene flow, genetic diversity, maternity and paternity analysis, and non-invasive genetic sampling.
