The funding from the Norwegian Research Council is finished, so we are not sequencing more new species before new funding is in place. We have resources to analyse and publish genome assemblies, so that work will continue until it is done.

EBP-Nor has published the first study showing how calcium plays different roles in gene regulation in closely related strains of the fungus Mucor circinelloides.
EBP-Nor has published a new paper presenting haplotype-resolved whole-genome assemblies for the European river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) and the brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri). The study reveals significant insights into their genomic structures and how they form a species complex, potentially representing distinct ecotypes.

The EBP-Nor project is now mapping the genome of Norway's bird species, offering a deeper understanding of how birds adapt to and are impacted by our environment.
Summer is here, and even though most of us are on vacation, some at EBP-Nor are still working on collecting more species for whole genome sequencing!
EBP-Nor successfully hosted its second annual conference at Forskningsparken in Oslo on April 11-12. Over 100 participants from 21 different institutions around the world attended the conference.
Two of our EBP-Nor members have participated in two different panel discussions during the last week to communicate information about the EBP-Nor project to everyone who is interested.
Members of EBP-Nor will hold two workshops at Oslo Bioinformatics Workshop Week on the 11th and 12th of December, where you can learn more about annotation and comparative genomics. You will learn to use some of the more popular tools for creating genome annotations and validating them. In addition, the participants will learn comparative genomics analyses based on orthologous genes identified from the generated genome annotation compared to other species. See here for the Oslo Bioinformatics workshop week program , and here for the two workshops the members of EBP-Nor is teaching
Kjetill S. Jakobsen, leader of the EBP-Nor project, and Benedicte Garmann-Aarhus were interviewed by the research magazine Apollon about the Earth Biogenome Project Norway. Read the interview (in Norwegian) here

EBP-Nor is well on its way to sequencing all eucaryotic species in Norway.
The EBP-Nor assembly team invites visiting researchers to Pangenome Day.
The first EBP-Nor Assembly Workshop was held on December 13th 2022.
Digital Life Norway has produced a short video that shows some of the thoughts behind the EBP-Nor project.
