🧬 What are the best sampling practices to generate high-quality #genomic data? Well, it depends on the taxonomic group, of course!That’s why the #ERGAcommunity is working on taxon-specific sampling procedures. And you can join us! ➡️ www.erga-biodiversity.eu/post/samplin...

🧬🧬🧬 In 2026, most countries will need to report genetic diversity indicators to the Convention on Biological Diversity. 🦉🍄🌳 But which species should they focus on? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ We discuss this in our new blog post! #genetic #biodiversity #monitoring #conservation #consgen #KMGBF
