European participation in global biodiversity genomics endeavours aimed at identifying all biodiversity on Earth

欧洲生物多样性基因组学项目（BGE）的首要目标是加速基因组科学的应用，以提高对生物多样性的认识，监测生物多样性的变化，并指导干预措施以解决其下降问题。BGE在欧洲生物多样性的背景下协调和升级DNA条形码和参考基因组生成。该项目通过整合整个非洲大陆DNA条形码和基因组测序社区的努力和资源来发挥协同效应。能力：在欧洲层面建立功能性的生物多样性基因组网络，连接和发展社区使用基因组工具的能力，以帮助解决生物多样性危机，其目标是：(a)确保我们的生物多样性基因组研究网络面向未来，(b)降低生物多样性基因组研究的准入门槛，(c)促进共同创造和公民参与。生产-为欧洲建立和实施大规模的生物多样性基因组数据生成管道，以加速生物多样性特征、保护和生物监测基因组数据的生产和可及性，实现以下目标：(a)建立分布式和包容性能力，(b)建立规模经济，(c)连接以前脱节的资源以提供相关知识。应用-应用基因组工具加强对泛欧生物多样性和生物多样性下降的了解，以提高管理干预和生物监测计划的效力。其目标是：(a)改善生物多样性基因组学数据在科学政策中的使用；(b)建立欧洲范围内的大规模生物多样性基因组学研究机制。BGE联盟由来自20个国家的33个合作伙伴组成，并首次以这种规模将条形码和参考基因组两个社区联合起来，以实施其理想的计划。

The Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) Project The Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) Project has the overriding aim of accelerating the application of genomic science to enhance understanding of biodiversity, monitor biodiversity change, and guide interventions to address its decline. BGE coordinates and upscales DNA barcoding and reference genome generation in the context of European biodiversity. The Project develops synergies by aligning efforts and resources of the DNA barcoding and genome sequencing communities across the continent. The BGE objectives with derived ambitions: CAPACITY: To establish functioning biodiversity genomics networks at the European level to connect and grow community capacity to use genomic tools to help tackle the biodiversity crisis with the ambition to (a) Future-proof our networks on biodiversity genomics research, (b) lower access thresholds to biodiversity genomics research, and (c) promote co-creation and citizen engagement. PRODUCTION - To establish and implement large-scale biodiversity genomic data-generating pipelines for Europe to accelerate the production and accessibility of genomic data for biodiversity characterisation, conservation and biomonitoring with the ambition to (a) establish distributed and inclusive capacity, (b) build economies of scale and (c) connect previously disjoined resources to deliver relevant knowledge. APPLICATION - To apply genomic tools to enhance understanding of pan-European biodiversity and biodiversity declines to improve the efficacy of management interventions and biomonitoring programmes. With the ambition to (a) improve the use of biodiversity genomics data in science policy and (b) establish European-wide large scale biodiversity genomics research mechanisms. The BGE Consortium is comprised of 33 partners across 20 countries and brings together, for the first time at this scale, the two communities for barcoding and reference genome to implement its aspirational programme.
