Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE)

New reference #genome for the Lesser Ramshorn #Snail (Anisus vorticulus), an endangered freshwater species protected under the #EU #Habitats Directive: open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/5-190 🐌 @BioGenEurope @sangerinstitute @EUEnvironment @LIFEprogramme @OpenResearch_EU @REA_research

#BGE news from Greece! 🇬🇷 Today, our BGE colleagues Alexandros Triantafyllidis and @rmwaterhouse gave presentations on #Biodiversity #Genomics during the @LifeWatchERIC Biodiversity & Ecosystem eScience Conference 2025. More info: lifewatch.eu/bees-2025/ @REA_research

📢 New #BGE-@erga_biodiv publication! It’s time to #harmonise practices for assessing genome-wide genetic diversity. 🧬 #Standardisation is key to meet the needs of #stakeholders in biodiversity #conservation. 🔗 More info: biodiversitygenomics.eu/2025/07/01/har… @molecology @EBPgenome #paper

📢 It’s time to harmonise practices for assessing genome-wide genetic diversity 🧬 Standardisation is key to meet the needs of stakeholders in biodiversity #conservation. 🔗 New publication by #ERGA & @BioGenEurope out now in @molecol onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me… #Genomics

🔥 Do you know what a #biodiversity #hotspot is? This month’s #Connections blog explores how @BioGenEurope is generating genomic resources for these vital areas by promoting #bioblitzes with the support of #citizen scientists 🔎 👉 erga-biodiversity.eu/post/connectio… #conservation

☀️ This August, ERGA will be at @eseb2025 in sunny Barcelona! Come visit our booth, learn about our initiatives & meet members of the #ERGAcommunity! erga-biodiversity.eu/post/erga-at-e… There is still time to register: eseb2025.com #ESEB2025 @BioGenEurope

Discover the 6th #ERGAiBOLEuropeConnections blog! 💥 This time, we explore #Biodiversity #Hotspots and #BioBlitzes. BGE organized BioBlitzes in 6 European hotspots to collect species for DNA barcoding and genome sequencing. 🔗: biodiversitygenomics.eu/2025/06/25/erg… @REA_research #BGE

The 3rd episode of #GenomicConnections, the new #sciencepodcast, is now live! 💥This time, it’s about ‘DNA Metadata and FAIR Play’. 🔗: biodiversitygenomics.eu/2025/06/19/gen… @REA_research @erga_biodiv @iBOLEurope #GenomicConnections #sciencepodcast #sequencing #metadata #biodiversity #BGE

The Smithsonian is racing to build a digital library of all complex life on Earth — an ambitious effort that could help unlock future discoveries in medicine, sustainable energy, and food security. 🧬🌾⚡ 🎥 Dive into the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=KqSBoF… 💡🌍 When specimens…

Last week ERGA and @BioGenEurope took part in #CitSciHelvetia25! @c_bortoluzzi2 & @christiandeg presented "Co-creating biodiversity genomics projects for a shared future", highlighting our community's efforts to unite science & citizen participation in #BiodiversityGenomics 🧬

Hundreds of scientists across Europe helped shape #BGE by nominating #species for #genome sequencing! 🧬 From algae to fungi, the selection process ensured a truly diverse reference genome set. 🔗 Learn more: biodiversitygenomics.eu/2025/06/10/com… @erga_biodiv @REA_research @HorizonEU
