Two boll weevil species, the rampant cotton boll weevil pest (Anthonomus grandis grandis) and the closely related non-pest subspecies (Anthonomus grandis thurberiae), were both genome sequenced by i5k (in collaboration with EBP-affiliated Ag100Pest Initiative). Ag100Pest Initiative then used a pangenome approach to identify molecular differences between pest and non-pest varieties that can be utilized for the development of an in-field quick diagnostic tool to rapidly identify the pest from the non-pest variety.

Living underground, this species lacks eyes and navigates using two tiny sensory tentacles. Caecilians were the first amphibians to have their genomes sequenced by the Vertebrate Genomes Project. This individual was found near Río Claro in Colombia’s Magdalena River Valley, east of Medellín, and has not yet been genome sequenced.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Andrew J. Crawford with a hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin), a truly unique bird and the sole member of its genus, family, and order. Hoatzins eat leaves and use foregut fermentation — a rare, ruminant-like digestive strategy in birds. As juveniles, they have a small claw on each wing. This hoatzin genome was assembled by the Vertebrate Genomes Laboratory for the Vertebrate Genomes Project. The individual shown was sampled near Villavicencio in the Andean foothills of eastern Colombia.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cost per Gb of Genome Sequence (Copy) - High-quality Reference Genomes</image:title>
      <image:caption>are the most complete error-free genomes available for the species, to date. Improvements can be made as sequencing technologies advance. A publicly available reference genome advances global science, making it easier to process genomic data for population studies of the same species and generate reference genomes for closely related species.</image:caption>
