BioProject

The Darwin Tree of Life Project (darwintreeoflife.org) generates high quality genome assemblies for the approximately 60,000 species of eukaryotic organisms found in Britain and Ireland to contribute towards providing reference genome sequences for all life. It is a collaboration between biodiversity, genomics and analysis partners that hopes to transform the way we do biology, conservation and biotechnology. The project partners are the Natural History Museum London, the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, the Marine Biological Association, the Earlham Institute, the University of Oxford and its Wytham Woods field station, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Cambridge, EMBL-EBI and others, led by the Wellcome Sanger Institute, UK
