💥🧬 Why sequence ALL insect genomes?
Because insects run the planet. They pollinate our crops, recycle nutrients, build soils, drive food webs, and shape ecosystems on every continent. 🌍
Yet we’ve only scratched the surface of their genomic diversity.

Real conservation action, guided by genomes!
@ergabiodiv.bsky.social @biogeneurope.bsky.social
Why go beyond the reference genome?
Because population genomics reveals hidden risks — low diversity, genetic drift, and declining gene flow. 🌍
Wetlands are disappearing… and so is genetic diversity.

The final session of the BGE Connects symposium focused on moving biodiversity genomics from possibilities to practical applications at scale, emphasizing the need to bridge national and European efforts.

We're hiring a PhD student to work on genomic prediction and genetic variation in farm animals.

There will be cattle, genomics, simulation, and there might be poultry.

And if you already have a PhD, consider sharing with someone who hasn't, and might be a good fit. :)
