🎥🧬 Every living thing has a story. Every genome helps us read it. The Catalan Initiative for the Earth BioGenome Project is building high-quality reference genomes for the biodiversity of the Catalan-speaking territories. Cada ésser viu conté una història. Watch the video ⬇️ lnkd.in/gcfWsMDS

❄️🧬 Can we generate high-quality reference genomes without the cold chain? A new study suggests the answer is yes. DNA preserved at room temperature for up to one week produced chromosome-scale reference genomes. 📖 tinyurl.com/3zwtj9ka #Genomes @gigascience.bsky.social @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

🧬 We know how to generate high-quality reference genomes. The bigger challenge is deciding which species to sequence next. As biodiversity genomics scales, strategic species selection will have as much impact as sequencing technology itself. #Genomics #Biodiversity #EarthBioGenomeProject

🐦 Why are bird genomes so difficult to assemble? Birds have dozens of tiny, gene-rich microchromosomes that are frequently fragmented, misplaced, or missing from genome assemblies despite containing important genetic information. 📖 Read the publication: lnkd.in/gar-GrKZ #BirdGenomics #Biodiversity

GIGA VI is in full swing in Boracay, Philippines, bringing together the global invertebrate genomics community for scientific sessions, hands-on genome assembly workshops, and discussions on the future of biodiversity genomics. @invertebrates.bsky.social

🧬 Tiny genomes, big discoveries. Ultra-low-input sequencing is helping researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute's Tree of Life Programme generate high-quality genomes from tiny tardigrades. 🔗 Read more: tinyurl.com/phemydar #Genomics #Tardigrade #Biodiversity @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

Hunting the tardigrade: one small step in sequencing DNA of all life on EarthAs this year’s invertebrate of the year competition launches, we join scientists studying last year’s winnertinyurl.com

🌍🧬 The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) is a global effort to generate high-quality reference genomes for all known eukaryotic life. From coral reefs and rainforests to polar ecosystems, researchers worldwide are building a lasting genomic library of life. #Genomics #Biodiversity #Conservation

Congratulations on the publication! 🎉 MicroFinder is a valuable new tool for biodiversity genomics, helping recover elusive microchromosomes and generate more complete reference genomes.
