The CBP Catalan Initiative for the Earth Biogenome Project paper doi.org/10.1093/nargab… is out in #nargab. A “grass-root” initiative that has engaged researchers from all disciplines in Biology into a common project to contribute locally to the sequencing all eukaryotic genomes on Earth Earth BioGenome Project 🌍 European Reference Genome Atlas

 🚨New preprint: high quality reference genome of the #mediterranean red coral biorxiv.org/content/10.110… CIIMAR-UP CNAG ICM-CSIC Universitat de Barcelona Metazoa Phylogenomics Lab Catalan Initiative for the Earth Biogenome Project

1One of the first K-level #genomes in #octocorals 🧬 2Good metrics: scN50 = 16.3 Mb 📏 3Collaborative work paying off 🤝 Xenia Sarropoulou @didieraurelle Cristina Linares Joaquim Garrabou (mostly trying to be at the sea) Paula López Sendino Jessica Gómez-Garrido Sandra Ramirez-Calero Rosa Fernández and more. Backbone for our Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) case study.

📢Really excited about the reference genome of the red coral! 🪸A Mediterranian species threatened by overharvesting and climate change Great job by our Genome Assembly and Annotation Team at #CNAG: Tyler Alioto, Jessica Gómez-Garrido, Nando, Francisco Câmara Ferreira #Biodiversity #Genomics

Seqüenciaran el genoma de 40.000 espècies dels Països Catalans per protegir la biodiversitat ccma.cat/324/sequenciar…

🌍 #Genomics and biodiversity, what a wonderful story! 🧬At #CNAG, we contribute to #biodiversity by generating chromosome-level reference genomes for species that currently lack genome sequences Genomes are a valuable source for developing conservation policies 📹 Press play!

The CNAG, as one of the #ERGA genome sequencing hubs, has covered the entire #genomic process, from sequencing to chromosome-level assembly and annotation for numerous species from Spain and Andorra🧬💪🔝 📸Marta Gut Jessica Gómez-Garrido tyler_alioto Nando #PCBCommunity

🚨Great news! 🐐New genome, this time of the iconic European mountain ungulate: the chamois! 🧬Excited to share European Reference Genome Atlas & Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE)'s major step, with CNAG's role in sequencing, assembly, curation, and annotation biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biodiversity #genomics #species

🌟 Any plans for 2025? 🧬We invite you to visit CNAG, where genomics shapes the future! Explore our cutting-edge research, meet our experts, and discover how we’re advancing healthcare and innovation 📩 Contact us to plan your visit. #Genomics #Innovation #VisitCNAG

Interested in #molluscan genomics?🐌 📢Meet our preprint on one of the few #nudibranch chromosome-level #genome🧬assemblies: #Phyllidia flava! doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… This resource will provide valuable insights🤩into one #endemic relict species from the #Mediterranean Sea!🌊

💜Un any més, les nostres investigadores van participar al programa #Científiques, organitzat pel Fundació FCRI i BIST-Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology Un dels centres que hem visitat enguay és l'Institut Serra de Noet. La Jessica Gómez-Garrido del #CNAG va parlar de genòmica a alumnes de 1er d'ESO Moltes gràcies!👏

📢New reference genome to protect biodiversity in Europe! 🦋The butterfly false ringlet, a threatened species, has joined the European Reference Genome Atlas and Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) project At CNAG, we have extracted DNA, prepared libraries, and performed sequencing, genome assembly, and curation ⬇️

New #BGE video (and case study)! 🪸 Scientists from CIIMAR-UP are using #genomics to conserve Mediterranean red #coral, a key species threatened by over-harvesting and rising ocean temperatures: biodiversitygenomics.eu/2025/03/03/con… jean-baptiste ledoux Catalan Initiative for the Earth Biogenome Project European Research Executive Agency European Reference Genome Atlas

🙌 Exciting news! Our article in Molecular Ecology Resources (Wiley in research) is in the top 10 most-cited papers! Big congrats to Marta Gut, Head of the Sequencing Unit, and Tyler Alioto's team! 📎onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… #TopCitedArticle #Research #CNAG #Biodiversity

👏Molt orgullosos de formar part d'aquesta iniciativa per la biodiversitat! 🦋Al CNAG, seqüenciem les mostres d'espècies endèmiques del territori de parla catalana, per després obtenir el seu genoma de referència que ajudarà a la seva qualitat de vida i supervivència⬇️

🚀Excited to share our 2024 Annual Report! 🔝A summary of the key milestones we hit last year, from expanding sequencing capacity to strengthening our role in clinical genomics. 🙌Thanks to all our partners, especially our teams, for making it possible! 📎goo.su/CVNR

📅 Avui, #BiodiversityDay posem el focus en un tresor invisible: la biodiversitat genòmica. 🧬Cada espècie amaga un genoma únic que ens ajuda a conservar-la i entendre el món viu. 🌿A @catbiogenoma treballem per seqüenciar la vida del nostre territori #biodiversity #Genomics

Happy Biodiversity Day!! If you want to hear about what we do for biodiversity CNAG, check out this video!

Is there a better way to celebrate the Biodiversity Day than attending the #UIBiodiversityDay2025 in beautiful Mallorca? If you're around, please come visit our poster CNAG
