Sequencing #genomes of neglected taxa can help elucidade many key aspects of #evolution.
Don't miss the talk by Klara Eleftheriadi to learn about the genome of a new #nematomorph species sequences as part of the #ERGApilot. #BG23

ERGA Session at BG23
We are happy to invite you to the ERGA session during the Biodiversity Genomics Conference 2023! BG23 is an online, open conference and free to attend. This year the conference is organized by the Wellcome Sanger Institute Tree of Life programme and Biodiversity Genomics Europe. ERGA will be hosting a session on Friday, October 6th from 14:00 to 16:00 CEST. 📅 Add the session to your calendar! The first hour will be focused on the ERGA community, and some of the committees will give brief presen
