Meet Luperina nickerlii, also known as the Sandhill Rustic moth. With many subspecies, a genome is useful. For #InsectWeek we are highlighting an array insects heading through our genome production pipeline. Read the WellcomeOpenResearch Genome Note here: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-382



Wondering what this green creature is? Say hello Green Oak Leaf Roller Moth! Then, for #InsectWeek, read the WellcomeOpenResearch Genome Note, where not only is the reference genome shared in detail, but an informative introduction into the species ⤵️ wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-260




Are you interested in the Understanding Life reference genomes conference this October hosted at the Wellcome Genome Campus campus? 🧬 🗓️Details in the poster below from Wellcome Connecting Science Learning and Training. 💷Bursaries available - deadline is: 14th July! 🖇️tinyurl.com/3mbfwfmd


(2/2) 🔬 Looking for a recent success story? The June 2024 Nature article on decoding dogrose reproduction—powered by Darwin Tree of Life and Wellcome Sanger Institute genomes—is a stellar example of an EBP-affiliated project driving breakthroughs in plant evolution and breeding.


🌍📢 The African BioGenome Project (AfricaBP) wants to hear from you! African BioGenome Project is conducting a survey to better understand the landscape, practices, opportunities, and challenges around Intellectual Property (IP) protections and rights for Biodiversity Genetic Resources

(2/2) 🌍 EBP genomes are often the first—and only—reference genomes available for a species. These foundational resources open doors to discovery, conservation, and innovation across the Tree of Life. 🌍🧬 For instance, the Darwin Tree of Life and Wellcome Sanger Institute sequenced this bat


Our project proudly partnered with experts from the Vertebrate Genome Project, Wellcome Sanger Institute, NOAA, and others to produce 'platinum level' reference genomes into the hands of researchers studying cetaceans. Key sample collection partners: SMASS & University of Glasgow

Today is the final day to register for the Understanding Life conference happening in October. Join in-person, or remotely. Earth BioGenome Project 🌍 projects highlighted will include Bat1k Genome Project (which the Darwin Tree of Life project has contributed to) and lots of other great sessions.
