Skelly’s birthday was Monday and we forgot. Observe: apologetic ice cream cake.

If you're at Oxford Nanopore Events today, go visit our warriors Nivesh and Tatiana Tilley to find out more about our use of UL-ONT for vertebrate genomics!

Twitter-verse, please take a moment to vote for us in this DataWorks challenge - the money will go towards support our repository of freely-accessible genome sequencing and assembly data! Look for the GenomeArk submission: 🧬🐳🐅🐦herox.com/dataworks

evolution: 'what if I just 🤪'

A very spooky costume as far as the VGL is concerned! (mild amphibian slander)

Fantastic work by several Genome Warriors (Giulio Formenti , Erich Jarvis , Olivier Fedrigo ) and collaborators!

Last day of #BG22 ! Today major genomic projects will give their updates and future perspectives 🧬 Join us to learn more and consider the opportunity to engage yourself in new endeavors 🙂 Earth BioGenome Project Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) European Reference Genome Atlas @BIOSCANEurope Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) Global Invertebrate Genomics Alliance (GIGA) Biodiversity Genomics

I just received the most chunk of data from Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL). The very first Southern Corroboree frog genome!!!! Getting this genome has been such a long time in the making. Having it should help change the course of the conservation for this highly threatened species. Stay tuned!

A fantastic effort from both past and present VGL scientists, and all others involved!

The paper describing our assembly graph evaluation and manipulation tool gfastats is out in

Hey genome friends! The VGL, along with our colleague Jo from the Wellcome Sanger Tree of Life Programme, is hosting a zoom workshop on genome curation and submission to NCBI/ENA next Tuesday! If you're interested in attending or have any questions, please send an email to [email protected]🧬🧬

Fun fact: The VGP (Vertebrate Genomes Project) has assembled the genomes of 47 vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered species. Genomics for conservation!
