Enhancing Biodiversity Genomics Applications across Europe
By Luísa Marins
We are pleased to announce the 20 projects that have been selected as part of the recent ERGA-BGE call “Enhancing Biodiversity Genomics Applications for Ongoing Case Studies”. The projects selected are on-going initiatives that leverage high-quality reference genomes to boost biodiversity conservation or to investigate how sustainably managed species contribute to our economy and health.
The funding will be used to bring the relevant reference genomes up to Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) standards or, for projects already meeting these criteria, to generate genomic data to enhance and complete the research – such as population re-sequencing data.
Stay tuned for blog posts, updates and research outcomes of each of these projects reported here in the ERGA Blog! In the interactive map below you can explore the partner institutions distributed across Europe and the topic of each of the projects:
This is a subcontracting task of the BGE Project and coordinated by the associated partner’s team at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
📢 Stay tuned! In the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing and highlighting the case studies through posts written by the scientists leading each project!
