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!

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

At PCI Genomics, we are pleased to have recommended all ERGA manuscripts and publications to date, helping to bring together this vital body of work at the heart of European biodiversity genomics. 🔗 genomics.peercommunityin.org #ERGA #Genomics #Biodiversity #PCIGenomics #OpenScience
