One area of research focuses on DNA preservation methods to facilitate long-term protection of genomic resources for future research, including specimens with degraded DNA. The Unit also uses high-throughput DNA sequencing to assemble DNA barcode libraries from century-old museum specimens and carries out large-scale DNA-based biodiversity surveys. Most recently, the team has been working towards improved protocols for uncovering species interactions through long read Hi-Fi sequencing. Because of its unique expertise, the Genomics Unit serves as a model research facility for the DNA barcoding and biodiversity genomics community. Over the past five years, the Unit has been involved in research projects with more than 200 research organizations, government agencies, and private sector firms based in over 50 nations. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-1dd048e0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child" data-id="1dd048e0" data-element_type="container" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> <div class="e-con-inner"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-758193d8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="758193d8" data-element_type="container" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4b5191c9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="4b5191c9" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-40e1c3a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box" data-id="40e1c3a3" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="icon-box.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-icon-box-wrapper"> <div class="elementor-icon-box-content"> <h3 class="elementor-icon-box-title"> <span > Scientific Impact </span> </h3> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-45b552ca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="45b552ca" data-element_type="container" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-408286f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="408286f1" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://biodiversitygenomics.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DNAarchive-1024x683.jpg" class="elementor-animation-sink attachment-large size-large wp-image-10302" alt="" srcset="https://biodiversitygenomics.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DNAarchive-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://biodiversitygenomics.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DNAarchive-300x200.jpg 300w, https://biodiversitygenomics.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DNAarchive-768x512.jpg 768w, https://biodiversitygenomics.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DNAarchive-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://biodiversitygenomics.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DNAarchive-2048x1366.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5532b1be elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="5532b1be" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Supporting Global Research Efforts</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-35a4b5c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="35a4b5c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>The Genomics Unit’s most recent achievement is tied to the International Barcode of Life (iBOL) Consortium’s global biodiversity research program, BIOSCAN. It is the largest initiative ever undertaken in biodiversity genomics that is on target to deliver on its promise to assemble a DNA barcode library for two million species of animals, plants, and fungi by 2028. The CCDB has generated nearly 75% of the twenty million DNA barcode records that are now available. The Genomics Unit also curates extracted DNA from over sixteen million specimens which represent nearly half a million species. The globally unique resource aids researchers around the globe to probe deeper into understanding of ecology, taxonomy, and evolution of biodiversity on the planet. In addition to the DNA archives and its involvement in BIOSCAN, the scientific impact of the Unit is evidenced by the number of papers published by its researchers and collaborators; Google Scholar indicates that it has been cited for analytical support in nearly 2000 publications.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-513b4e1
