From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High-Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT High‐quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experiences from the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) community, we focus on permit and sample‐handling procedures leading up to nucleic acid ...
