Description

The Amphibian Genomics consortium was launched in March 2023. Our objective is to build upon the efforts of existing genomics consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP), Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), and Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) by supporting amphibian-focused sequencing projects, and other types of genomics-driven research and applications. Our aims: Increase the coordination and generation of amphibian genomics resources including reference genomes, population re-sequencing, transcriptomes, and other reduced-representation sequencing techniques. Make amphibian genomics resources more accessible and useful for functional genetics research and for conservation practitioners. Provide information and training resources to amphibian biologists including databases, webinars, seminar series, and computational genomics workshops. Increase cross-disciplinary collaboration among amphibian genomicists, organismal biologists, and conservation practitioners.
