The Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) Project is a community-driven effort funded by the EU to establish a framework for coordinating DNA barcoding and genome sequencing across Europe. As part of the genome stream of BGE, reference genomes from species from critical European biodiversity are sequenced. An important task […]

Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) er et fellesskapsdrevet prosjekt finansiert av EU for å etablere et rammeverk for koordinering av DNA-strekkoding og genomsekvensering i hele Europa. Som en del av genomstrømmen i BGE sekvenseres referansegenomer fra arter fra kritisk europeisk biologisk mangfold. En viktig oppgave i dette arbeidet var […]

Spiders, insects and even more so worms and wormlike invertebrates are often considered ugly and disgusting, at least unappealing, and sometimes even dangerous. Certainly, there is also beautiful invertebrates such as e.g., butterflies, beetles, dragonflies, or some sea slugs, but usually invertebrates appeal little to our understanding of […]
