Study Take-Aways
Unprecedented novel discoveries have implications for characterizing biodiversity for all life, conservation, and human health and disease.
o This finding provides novel avenues of research to increase immune defenses, particularly relevant for emerging infectious diseases, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The flagship paper presented whole genome sequence analyses of 16 vertebrate species to illustrate high quality, near error free, near complete, low cost reference genome assemblies.
o Though near 400 species have been sequenced at some level, the quality today reflects a quantum leap in precision sequence details and discovery.
FORT LAUDERDALE/DAVIE, Fla. - Two decades ago, the full genome sequence of humankind was released. It was funded by international government and philanthropic sources at a cost of billions of dollars. ....
