In the 6th episode of Genomic Connections, we talk with Rutger Vos & @diegomics.bsky.social about their experiences in bioinformatics and the differences between DNA barcoding and reference genomes.

This episode comes in a different format than usual – it's a video!

Bioinformatics is the art that turns barcodes and reference genomes into usable knowledge.
In the 8th Connections, we explore the essential role played by bioinformatics in both DNA barcoding and reference genomes.

Today we join the global mourning the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall, the "tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world" who inspired generations protecting biodiversity.

Thank you, Jane Goodall, for all your work and reminding us that we can choose the impact we make.

Citizen science powers the large‑scale, inclusive approach that modern biodiversity genomics demands.

In the 7th Connection, we get to know who citizen scientists are – and who are not, what they do, and what role they play in today's biodiversity genomics.
