This is exactly why chromosome-level reference genomes matter. They let researchers see patterns that lower-quality assemblies can miss — from genome structure to gene copy history to the hidden mechanisms shaping biodiversity. #ReferenceGenomes #TreeOfLife #BiodiversityGenomics #sloths #discovery

🧬❄️ Not every specimen collected becomes a genome. Once identified, species already represented in the project are released, while new or supplementary samples are preserved for sequencing. 🦋🌿 Accurate identification guides every sampling decision. #DarwinTreeOfLife #BiodiversityGenomics

🦋 Butterflies and moths are also important pollinators, herbivores, and food sources in ecosystems around the world. Their genomes can help us better understand biodiversity, ecosystem function, and species decline. #BiodiversityGenomics #Genomes @[email protected] @[email protected]

🦋 Biodiversity genomics is helping researchers explore one of the largest branches of life on Earth. Lepidoptera — butterflies and moths — make up nearly 10% of all known eukaryotic species, making them a key part of global biodiversity. #BiodiversityGenomics #Butterflies #Moths #GenomeSequencing

Bees pollinate more than 75% of flowering plants and many of the crops people rely on every day 🍎🥑🌻 By studying genomes, scientists can better understand the biology behind this essential ecosystem service. Biodiversity genomes power science 🧬 🐝🧬 #BiodiversityGenomics #Bees #Pollinators #Genomics

Muted celebration for my 50th published paper. 🥂

It all started with my love of fungi, then expanded to biodiversity studies, using DNA-based tools for discovery-based research, and later applied for scalable biomonitoring in forestry and freshwater systems.

Developed a few tools, pipelines, and databases along the way. What a ride.
