Revive & Restore will develop AI tools to 🤖 automate reference genome assembly for endangered species, dramatically accelerating the path from sample to genome.

R&R, the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genome Lab, and Ayshwarya Subramanian of Cornell University will use the funds to develop AI tools to accelerate the genome assembly process and aid in species conservation. Looking forward to this exciting collaboration!

“Why wasn’t I using collections all along?” (2/2)

See you at the next conference!

A huge thank you to @erichjarvis.bsky.social, Lauren Shalmiyev, Giulio Formenti, Sadye Paez, our VGP co-chairs, and members of the Jarvis Labs for organizing the event, @amnh.org for hosting us at their planetarium, and our attendees for the lively and productive discussions!

Scholars from around the world shared their research on genome assembly and annotation, chromosome evolution, comparative genomics, and conservation at talks and poster sessions and helped plan the future direction of the VGP.

At every turn, EBP-affiliates are pushing boundaries—on track for 10,000 genome assemblies!

🧬 The genome was sequenced and assembled at the Vertebrate Genome Lab, with assembly done on Galaxy, and annotation done by NCBI. Data available on NCBI's RefSeq: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/genome/GCF_037038515.1/ (3/4)

🧠 Lauren O'Connell and her colleagues at the Stanford Laboratory of Organismal Biology will be using the genome to help answer fundamental questions in neuroscience and physiology. (2/4)
