🌍🧬 VGP Phase I represents a truly global effort, bringing together 26+ organizations and numerous Earth BioGenome Project-affiliated initiatives.
🐢 Around 25% of analyzed species are Vulnerable to Critically Endangered, creating an important resource for conservation genomics.

#ConservationGenomics
Close-up photograph of a tuatara surrounded by green foliage. Text reads: “Eight Years of Innovation.” Eight years of advances in sequencing, assembly, phasing, and genome curation transformed vertebrate genomics. Today, VGP provides a reference resource spanning more than 500 million years of vertebrate evolution. Collage of threatened vertebrate species on a dark background, including a rhinoceros, basking shark, kākāpō, African wild dog, poison frog, sea turtle, pangolin, and harpy eagle. Text reads: “Reference Genomes for Conservation.” Nearly 25% of VGP Phase I species are threatened. Underwater photograph of several manta rays swimming through blue ocean water. Text reads: “Building the Foundation for the Future.” The 816 reference genomes generated by VGP Phase I will power discoveries in evolution, biodiversity, conservation, and medicine for years to come.

Together with the growing number of genome reference assemblies and specialised bioinformatics tools being shared and developed, we believe our study shows how much potential metagenomics approaches hold for #BiodiversityMonitoring and #ConservationGenomics.

To celebrate the fact that we now have a feed for #ConservationGenetics and #ConservationGenomics (thanks Gernot @gsegelbacher.bsky.social!) I'm going to shamelessly post links to some of my recent 🧬🧪 papers in this thread, would love to see others do the same 😊
