Accuracy matters across all life, because errors propagate into population, adaptation, and conservation research.
Done right, reference genomes become lasting assets: anchoring global tools, databases, and collaboration for generations.

🧬 Why are EBP-affiliated projects tackling the most difficult biodiversity genomes?
Because the species with the biggest, weirdest, and most complex genomes often hold the biggest evolutionary secrets. ✨

Choose your human genome reference wisely - Nature Methods Scientists can choose between multiple human genome references, and a pangenome reference is coming. Deciding what to use when is not quite straightforward.

As new human assemblies become available on beta.ensembl.org - which human reference genome will you choose? This article explores the question with insights from Ensembl’s own Fergal Martin - www.nature.com/articles/s41...
