Portugal’s rich #biodiversity is threatened by climate change, habitat loss, and human activities. The Biogenome Portugal initiative works to protect it by generating reference genomes for endangered, iconic, and endemic species.

The @erga_biodiv Pilot Project reports its success in uniting researchers from across Europe to produce high-quality reference genomes for 98 species. This continental effort is setting the stage for a new, inclusive and equitable model for biodiversity genomics.

This is hilarious. And, as Steven points out, unfixable.
The human chromosomes are numbered incorrectly (The fourth in an irregular series of threads about #Bioinformatics.) As most people know, 22 of our chromosomes are numbered from longest to shortest, plus we have X and Y... 1/6
