Why is DNA extraction so tough?
🐜 Tiny insects provide too little material.
🌱 Plants fight back with tough walls and chemical inhibitors.
🐚 Shells, chitin, and slime — all evolved to protect DNA.
From coral skeletons to cactus spines, extraction is where fieldwork meets chemistry 🔬🌎💪

🧬 Not all DNA comes out easily! Some species lock their secrets behind tough shells, rigid walls, or tricky chemistry. Extracting high-quality DNA can mean cracking exoskeletons, dissolving cell walls, or working around inhibitory compounds — science meets detective work 🔬💥

The EBP-affiliates are building a global reference genome library to benefit species worldwide. As EBP Executive Council chair Harris Lewin recently noted: “As the biodiversity crisis gathers pace, so must our sequencing.”

EBP-affiliates are scaling up genome sequencing.

Why sequence all vertebrate genomes? 🧬
💡 Vertebrate genomes can help answer complex questions — for example: how did speech evolve, and which genes govern longevity and cancer resistance in long-lived species like the Blue Whale?

🔍Why use genomes to decode speech?
💡 Genomes show us which genes and pathways make talking, singing, and rhythmic communication possible — and why some species can do it while others can’t.
