After the last Summer sampling our #ants have been sent to the sequencing facility. Almost ready to upgrade the assembly to chromosome level, finalizing the #referencegenome.

Many thanks to @biogeneurope.bsky.social @sib.swiss @ergabiodiv.bsky.social for the support!

🧬 One species. One complete somatic genome. A world of discoveries.

For EBP, completeness is critical: high-quality reference genomes turn sequence into meaningful biological discovery.

Infographic featuring a zebra finch and explaining how difficult-to-sequence regions can contain important biology. It highlights microchromosomes, centromeres, telomeres and chromosome architecture as regions that complete genomes can help resolve. The graphic explains that comparing complete chromosomes across species allows researchers to reconstruct how vertebrate chromosomes have reorganized and evolved over millions of years.
