👇Check out this article about our work in the Italian Alps and Barcelona, where we’re studying moth and butterfly genomes as part of @projectpsyche.bsky.social ’s goal to sequence every species in Europe 🦋🧬

#10kLepGenomes #Genomics #Lepidoptera
In July, our reporter traveled to the Italian Alps and to Barcelona, Spain, to observe researchers capturing moths and butterflies and then sequencing their genomes. It was all part of the most ambitious biology project ever: to sequence every species on Earth.

During our expedition to the Italian Alps with @10klepgenomes.bsky.social this summer, we had @spectrum.ieee.org representatives with us - and the first part of the article is out 🥳 Read more about the efforts of @projectpsyche.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️
Project Psyche is featured in a new article out now on @spectrum.ieee.org! Check it out to get an insight into the efforts of @ebpgenome.bsky.social and the milestones achieved during the fieldtrip of #ProjectPsyche and @10klepgenomes.bsky.social to the Italian Alps 🦋
Whole Genome Sequencing Will Transform Our Understanding of Life. The Earth BioGenome Project is using cutting-edge tech like long-read sequencing to map the DNA of 1.8 million organisms. Researchers anticipate major discoveries in evolution and medicine.

(1/6) 🦋 We are thrilled to announce the release of the 1,000th reference genome of Lepidoptera species found in Europe!
This goal was reached with the release of Stenoptilia islandicus, also known as the mountain plume moth.
