If you missed the Genome Applications Symposium, watch it online! Especially the Genomics of Adaptation session where we start from our @BioGenEurope Case Study to spur an engaging discussion 🦋🏔️🧬
🧬 The recent #ERGA Genome Applications symposium featured two full days of discussions on the utility and applicability of reference #genomes, highlighted by various case studies from @BioGenEurope
📼Interested? You can (re)watch the symposium anytime: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Genomic tools allow precise estimation of population declines and potential for adaptation, which can be used for insect monitoring, restoration and conservation management.

European butterflies have been studied intensely by scientists and naturalists for centuries. It is therefore with some surprise that we wish to report the discovery of a European hybrid lineage of butterflies that has persisted for more than 50,000 years. (THREAD)

It was a pleasure to talk to Robin McKie @ObserverUK about Project Psyche which is striving to sequence all 11,000 species of European butterflies and moths. A huge community effort! 🦋 @Psychegenome theguardian.com/environment/…

Say hello to the large blue butterfly. This butterfly has had its genome sequenced by the @sangerinstitute. It went extinct in the UK in 1979 due to habitat loss, was reintroduced and now is thriving w/ careful management thanks to experts. 🦋
