Genome10K

Genome10K is a scientific project aiming to decode the complete genomes (genetic blueprints) of 10,000 different vertebrate species, including animals like birds, mammals, fish, and reptiles. By sequencing these genomes, researchers can study how these animals live, evolve, and adapt to their environments. This information helps scientists understand biodiversity, identify genetic factors related to health and disease, and supports conservation efforts. Overall, Genome10K advances our knowledge of the genetic makeup of many species, bridging gaps between nature and genetics for scientific discovery and preservation.
