Rapid genome analysis of a Whippet sighthound sets new standard for biodiversity research
Oct 23, 2024
The continuing global loss of biodiversity is making it increasingly necessary to rapidly collect and analyze genetic information on endangered species. In a joint project, the Department of Human Genetics at Bioscientia Institute for Medical Diagnostics GmbH in Ingelheim am Rhein and the LOEWE Center for Translational Biodiversity Genomics (LOEWE-TBG) in Frankfurt, both in Germany, have sequenced and analyzed the complete genome of a Whippet sighthound in less than a week.
