Conservation of biodiversity, barcoding
Description of the
The Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) project aims to accelerate the application of genomics research to improve the understanding of biodiversity, monitor biodiversity change and guide action to combat its decline across Europe. BGE brings together two networks: iBOL, which focuses on DNA barcoding, and ERGA, which focuses on genome sequencing.
We will 1) Provide museum samples for DNA barcoding to complete the inventory of life in Europe and lay the foundations for a global biodiversity biosurveillance system. 2) We will support citizen science activities to create a better dialogue between society and scientific networks on the genomics of biodiversity.
