Reminder: It is next week!!

Lopezguerra & Douglas recommend the high-quality Xylocopa violacea reference genome by Nash et al., 2024, Heredity, the first annotated pseudo-chromosomal assembly for any Xylocopa bee! 🐝 A crucial step for pollinator research, conservation, and even cancer therapy studies #ERGA

Marino, Fiston-Lavier & Mayoud recommend the VGP-Galaxy pipeline (Larivière et al. 2024), a scalable, open, and user-friendly tool for high-quality genome assembly, powering efforts like the Earth BioGenome Project. 📖 A must-read for the future of biodiversity genomics!
