THE EUROPEAN REFERENCE GENOME ATLAS

A position paper in response to the EU Commission’s initiative, Horizon Europe, to generate reference genomes representing the European biodiversity

About the project

The goal of the VGP is to generate near error-free reference genome assemblies of all 66,000 extant vertebrate species. DNA sequences are a map of an organism’s genes, which determine that organism’s characteristics. Understanding the DNA sequence between all vertebrates will enable the study of how genes have contributed to the evolution and survival of these species.
