BGE RESEARCH

Case Studies

Through its case studies, BGE aims to foster collaboration and synergy between genomic research, conservation practitioners, relevant stakeholders, and the general public.

 

 

BGE will develop case studies that demonstrate the application of reference genomes and genomics to species affected by human-made changes in climate, habitats, and ecosystems, and to species of economic importance and disease control, thus contributing to the sustainability of ecosystem services.
