Researchers apply kitchen sink approach to produce 16 high-quality reference genomes

Researchers apply kitchen sink approach to produce 16 high-quality reference genomes The flightless kakapo of New Zealand is in trouble. The world s heaviest parrot representing one of the most ancestral branches of the parrot family tree is nearly extinct, with barely 200 adults plodding the underbrush of four small islands. Whether the last of the kakapos had the genetic resilience to survive was a question that only high-quality genomic analysis could answer. But a high-quality genome assembly did not exist for the kakapo nor for most of the 70,000 vertebrate species alive today. Questions about how best to prevent the extinction of species ranging from the flightless kakapos to the adorable small vaquita dolphins were left unanswered. Had inbreeding left these populations genetically non-viable? Were humans the only reason that these animals stood on the brink of extinction, or was something inherently broken in their DNA?

Quest for error-free genomes begins with this rare bird

The ambitious Vertebrate Genomes Project may have some good news for two endangered species: the kakapo and the vaquita. The flightless kakapo of New Zealand is in trouble. The world’s heaviest parrot representing one of the most ancestral branches of the parrot family tree is nearly extinct, with barely 200 adults plodding the underbrush of four small islands. Whether the last of the kakapos have the genetic resilience to survive has long been unknown, and a question that only high-quality genomic analysis could answer. But a high-quality genome assembly does not exist for the kakapo nor for most of the 70,000 vertebrate species alive today. As a result, questions abound about how best to prevent the extinction of species like flightless kakapos and adorable vaquita dolphins.
