“The importance of biodiversity is that it gives us a way to understand the world that we live in.”
We are excited to unveil the first of the GSC’s three new mandate videos: this one is on Biodiversity, Environment, & Agriculture which showcases our collaborations and impact in these sectors.

🌊🧬Happy World Ocean Day!
From whales and sea turtles to corals, kelp, plankton, and deep-sea species, the ocean holds extraordinary biodiversity shaped by billions of years of evolution.
EBP-affiliates are generating marine biodiversity genomes to better understand life in our oceans.

AbstractBackground. The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) is a global endeavour to produce reference genomes for all described eukaryotic species. The majority
Over 41% of amphibian species are threatened with extinction. The challenges they face are huge—but so are the successes. I'm honored to contribute to this new paper offering a rare optimistic look at amphibian conservation.

🦋🌿High-quality genomes begin with quality biological material.
🐝 Before sequencing, each species is identified, documented, collected, and preserved to ensure integrity. For insects, this requires field expertise, taxonomy, and preservation workflows.
Biodiversity genomics starts with the specimen🐞

🧬 Diatoms are an extraordinarily diverse group of photosynthetic organisms, with tens of thousands of described species.
Yet technical challenges still limit large-scale diatom genome production.
EBP projects and biodiversity genomics R&D teams are working to solve them. 🌊🔬
