Canada BioGenome Project
The Canada BioGenome Project is part of an international consortium—the Earth BioGenome Project—which aims to sequence the genomes of all the eukaryotic biodiversity. Canada possesses significant biodiversity, with ~80,000 plant and animal species in environments ranging from desert to the arctic. Many of these species are under threat due to rapid changes in climate and other human-led impacts on our environment. A common thread across conservation strategies is the need for genomic tools to address knowledge gaps related to species evolution, adaption, viability and genetic diversity. A reference-quality whole genome sequence is the foundation for such genetic analysis and the subsequent development of these management tools.
The Canada BioGenome Project aims to make available 400 high quality reference genomes for Canadian species that represent a diverse domain of life. Through collaborations with species experts and end users, we will ensure that species selected are based on criteria including their need for conservation and remediation, and their economic, Indigenous community, and socio-cultural relevance.
