British scientists have made a breakthrough that could help safeguard the future of one of the world's most admired birds - the golden eagle.
The majestic king of birds is under threat in some areas, but a study led by the Wellcome Sanger Institute could help them return to those spots.
The work to unravel their genetic code is part of a mission to sequence 25 new genomes of UK species.
One of the team described the development as a "real game changer".
