As the community’s capacity for genome sequencing expands, so do its ambitions. Recently, many exciting global genomics projects have been launched, including the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP), Darwin Tree of Life (DToL), Earth Biogenome Project EBP, i5K (insects) and 10KP (plants). Between them, they aim to sequence the genomes of every eukaryote on Earth, and Ensembl are excited to take on the annotation of some of those genomes.
