Scientists want to sequence all animals, fungi and plants on Earth
SMRTR summary
The Darwin Tree of Life project aims to sequence the genomes of all 35,000 animal, fungal, and plant species in Great Britain and Ireland. Led by University of Oxford scientists, the project has collected nearly 8,000 species and sequenced over 2,000 genomes, with a goal of 3,000 by December. This effort could revolutionize our understanding of evolution and biodiversity in the region.
