Many sloth retrocopies are linked to mitochondrial function, energy production, and metabolism. That makes the finding especially interesting for a species famous for conserving energy, moving slowly, and living life at a very different pace. 🦥 #EvolutionaryBiology #GenomeScience #Xenarthra

A sloth hangs upside down from a tree branch in a tropical setting, surrounded by blurred green foliage. Close-up views of its curved claws and shaggy fur are visible. Overlaid text explains that among thousands of retrocopies identified in xenarthran genomes, researchers found 38 with strong evidence of potential biological function, many associated with mitochondrial activity, energy production, and metabolism.

A sloth hangs from branches among dense green leaves in a tropical forest canopy. Its long limbs stretch between branches as it rests above the foliage. Overlaid text states that the genomic patterns observed suggest retrotransposition may have contributed to the evolution of the sloth's low-energy lifestyle by influencing genes involved in metabolism and energy use.

This is exactly why chromosome-level reference genomes matter. They let researchers see patterns that lower-quality assemblies can miss — from genome structure to gene copy history to the hidden mechanisms shaping biodiversity. #ReferenceGenomes #TreeOfLife #BiodiversityGenomics #sloths #discovery

A giant anteater stands on a slanted tree trunk against a softly blurred green forest background. Its distinctive black-and-cream coat, long snout, and bushy tail are clearly visible. Overlaid text explains that high-quality reference genomes help researchers uncover hidden evolutionary mechanisms and that chromosome-level genome assemblies make it possible to detect patterns that would otherwise remain invisible.

A three-toed sloth hangs upside down from a branch in a lush tropical forest surrounded by large green leaves. Its long limbs and curved claws are wrapped around the branch as it peers toward the camera. Overlaid text highlights how genome infrastructure enables biological discovery, explaining that sequencing species across the Tree of Life allows researchers to move beyond cataloguing biodiversity and begin understanding the evolutionary processes that generated Earth's extraordinary diversity.

🌍 The challenge is not whether we can sequence diatoms — it is whether we can build the workflows, infrastructure, standards, and international collaborations needed to do it reliably at scale. Working on diatom genomics? Connect with researchers helping build the future of biodiversity genomics. 🤝🧬

Photograph of a researcher aboard a small boat collecting aquatic samples using a plankton net suspended by ropes over open ocean water. The researcher is wearing a gray jacket and knit hat while handling the sampling equipment. The slide title reads, “So, Can We Sequence All Diatom Genomes?”

A text box states:

“Yes, EBP-affiliated projects are already sequencing diatom genomes — but scaling globally will require coordinated infrastructure, new protocols, and international collaboration.”

The phrase “scaling globally” is highlighted in yellow. The image emphasizes the field sampling, infrastructure, and international cooperation needed to expand diatom genome sequencing from individual projects to a global effort spanning thousands of species.

Earth BioGenome Project 🌍@ebpgenome.bsky.social · 2mo ago

🔬 Many diatoms are hard to sequence because of silica cell walls, low DNA input, repetitive DNA, hybridization, microbial contamination, and genome structures that complicate assembly. One genome is possible. Thousands across diatom diversity is a different challenge. 🧬⚙️🌊 #MicrobialEukaryotes

Microscope image of a filamentous chain of golden-brown diatom cells connected in curved strands. The slide title reads, “Challenge 1: Silica Cell Walls.” A text box at the bottom lists challenges associated with sequencing diatoms:

physically breaking cells open
recovering intact high molecular weight DNA
avoiding DNA fragmentation

The image highlights the rigid silica-based cell walls that make DNA extraction from diatoms particularly difficult.

Collage of microscope images showing several diatom species with different shapes and sizes, including elongated cells, ornate symmetrical forms, and chain-forming species. The slide title reads, “Challenge 2: Tiny Organisms, Huge Sequencing Demands.” A text box explains the scale and capacity challenges associated with diatom genomics:

microscopic organisms
surprisingly large genomes
difficult to culture in large quantities

The slide concludes: “This creates major throughput bottlenecks.” The images illustrate the contrast between the tiny size of individual diatoms and the large amount of biological material often required for high-quality genome sequencing.

Microscope photographs of diatoms arranged around two larger images. The slide title reads, “Challenge 3: Complex Genomes & Mixed Communities.” A text box explains that some diatom species are difficult to sequence and assemble accurately due to:

repetitive DNA
hybridization between species
extra chromosome copies
associated bacteria and algae
unclear species boundaries

The background features elongated and colony-forming diatoms with visible golden-brown chloroplasts and intricate cellular structures. The slide highlights the biological and genomic complexity that can complicate genome assembly, contamination screening, and species identification.

🧬 Diatoms are an extraordinarily diverse group of photosynthetic organisms, with tens of thousands of described species. Yet technical challenges still limit large-scale diatom genome production. EBP projects and biodiversity genomics R&D teams are working to solve them. 🌊🔬 #Diatoms #Biodiversity

Collage of microscopic images showing the remarkable diversity of diatoms. The slide title reads, “Why Is Sequencing Diatom Genomes So Difficult?” with the word “Difficult” highlighted in yellow. The background contains multiple light microscope photographs of different diatom species displaying a wide range of shapes and forms, including elongated needle-like cells, circular forms, rectangular chains, ornate geometric structures, and filamentous colonies. Some cells appear golden-brown due to photosynthetic pigments, while others show intricate silica patterns visible under magnification. The collage emphasizes the extraordinary morphological diversity found across diatoms.
