Auscandoc“research is part of the #Bird 10,000 Genomes (#B10K) Project, which aims to sequence the #genomes of all living bird species and involves scientists from many countries working together for nearly a decade now.
The team plans to continue its efforts to construct a complete picture of #BirdEvolution. Biologists are working on sequencing the genomes of additional #BirdSpecies in the hopes of expanding the family tree to include thousands of bird genera.” #BirdsOfMastodon https://mastodon.green/@mongabay/112257413826540855

An international team of scientists has created the largest and most detailed bird family tree ever, spanning 93 million years and representing 92% of bird families species, using cutting-edge computational methods and a supercomputer to analyze vast amounts of genomic data.
