Genome demonstrates that British swallowtail butterfly is genetically isolated, distinct from other European machaon populations, at least 200,000 years ago. Genomic distinctiveness, morphology, ecological specificity justify special conservation efforts https://t.co/PvW64DGchL #conservation #butterflies #genomics #GB #EU

Strong partnerships save lives. 🇪🇺 is stepping up its support to @AfricaCDC in response to the Ebola outbreak, with €6.5M to strengthen pathogen genomics, surveillance systems & healthcare worker training & €5M in kind donations of testing equipment & PCR kits for deployment. https://t.co/cZwuE8ETgL #EbolaResponse #PublicHealth #AfricaCDC #EU #AF

The genome encodes our lifespan 🧬 Exciting to see the genome of the Greenland shark, which may live nearly 400 years 🚀 Now with multiple genomes from long-lived species, including the bowhead whale and naked mole-rat, the challenge is to decode the information in the DNA and #Genomics #Lifespan #Longevity #GL #CA

El doctor James Craig Venter, pionero en la biología del genoma y fundador de Celera Genomics, revolucionó la secuenciación del ADN con la técnica "shotgun", contribuyendo significativamente a la obtención del genoma humano y dejando un legado en la investigación genética a pesar de su trágico fallecimiento tras una lucha contra el cáncer. #Genomics #DNASequencing #JamesVenter
