Building shared capacity at the European level

Samples, Barcodes and Genomes

Establish and implement large-scale biodiversity genomic data generation pipelines for Europe is one of BGE’s main goals, to accelerate the production and accessibility of genomic data for biodiversity characterisation, conservation and biomonitoring.

Establishing the foundations for large-scale, coordinated production of biodiversity genomics data is one of BGE’s main goals. BGE has accumulated a wealth of species and environmental samples together with corresponding DNA extractions, all archived in European research facilities. From these resources we are generating reference DNA barcodes and metabarcoding diversity profiles, genome sequences and genome variability data, all of which are being uploaded to open access databases. Use the table below to discover more about these resources.
