Proposing priority species for genome sequencing in the Darwin Tree of Life project
The Darwin Tree of Life project (
darwintreeoflife.org
) will eventually sequence all described eukaryotic species in Britain and Ireland, but we'd like community input into which of these should be done first. A list of species for which sequencing is already underway can be explored at
https://tolqc.cog.sanger.ac.uk/index.html
. Please feel free to suggest multiple species - you will have to fill in a form for each species separately. We will collate and consider all responses, but our actual prioritisation will involve multiple factors alongside this community input, so we can not commit to satisfying everyone’s requests.
Thank you for participating.

Please list the species name (Linnaean binomial) of a single eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland that should be high priority for building a reference genome ...

What is the species' common name?
If there is no common name, just leave this blank.

In DToL we have organised sample acquisition through six working groups with expertise in specific areas of the biota. Please indicate here which working group you think your species is covered by.
land plants (including bryophytes and vascular plants)
terrestrial and freshwater arthropods (Arthropoda)
vertebrates and relatives (Chordata)
other animals and "seaweeds" (Metazoa, including marine arthropods; also freshwater macroalgae)
fungi and lichens
microbial eukaryotes ("protists" or "protozoa")
Clear selection
Why should this species be sequenced now? Part 1: What is your main reason for proposing or your main interest in having a reference genome for this species?
*
Please pick one
because the species has wide public recognition or importance
to support species or ecosystem conservation
as a reference for population genomics
as a reference for functional genomics
as a reference for environmental genomics
for evolutionary genomics analysis
for deep phylogenetic analyses
