Genomes sequenced and currently underway
The Bat Biology Foundation (BBF) is at the forefront of genomic research, working in partnership with the Bat1K genome consortium to sequence bat genomes.
Our cutting-edge sequencing endeavors are conducted at Paratus Science, located in New York, ensuring that we utilize the most advanced technologies available to generate high quality genomes.
All sequenced genomes will be publicly accessible through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to advance scientific knowledge.
Accompanying these genomes, we also publish detailed genome notes, with species sample owners being listed as the first author.
BBF is dedicated to adhering to best practices. Whenever possible, we make use of previously collected samples, including museum specimens and other species samples gathered with appropriate permits.
Please find below a table listing species BBF is generating genomes for. Some of these have already been completed, for exact status updates please visit Sequencing status – Bat1K
Are you in possession of bat samples that could contribute to this groundbreaking project and scientific community?
