RBG Kew has now digitised all 7.4 million of its specimens, including those collected by Charles Darwin, and made them freely available online. Next up: genome sequencing? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
AI could help win ‘race against extinction’ of vital plants, say botanists
Tech is helping to identify and save new specimens and could open ‘genomic goldmine’ of fungi data

I would love that scientific research reflects what we should look for as society, working towards equitable collaborations. Looking forward for equitable research WITH the Global South 💜 beyond studying their amazing biodiversity.
Sophien Kamoun@kamounlab.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhen a study is built on Global South 🇪🇨 biodiversity and field sites, you’d hope Global South scientists are involved in more than “acquired data” doi.org/10.1038/s415...
🧬 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
