Integrating the biodiversity genomics continuum: harmonising data from barcodes to reference genomes [PDF]
Biodiversity genomics is converging from historically separate approaches — DNA barcoding and reference genome sequencing — into an integrated digital ecosystem driven by shared data stewardship principles: transparent provenance, persistent identifiers ...

Disseminating “hidden” scientific collections: the medium and large-sized terrestrial mammals at the Museo di Anatomia Comparata “Giovanni Battista Grassi”, Roma, Italy [PDF]
The dissemination of specimen data in scientific collections is a crucial step in making them available to the scientific community. However, even today, especially in some countries, little or nothing is known about the contents of the naturalistic ...

Mapping.bio: Piloting FAIR semantic mappings for biodiversity digital twins
Biodiversity research has a strong focus on the links between environment and functional traits, e.g., to assess how anthropogenic drivers of change impact ecological systems (Díaz et al. 2013).

Application of massive parallel sequencing to whole genome SNP discovery in the porcine genome [PDF]
Background Although the Illumina 1 G Genome Analyzer generates billions of base pairs of sequence data, challenges arise in sequence selection due to the varying sequence quality.

Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.
