Species list

The species list for phase one of the EBP-Nor project was created through a national effort between researchers from all over Norway. An overview of the selected species can be found on the EBP-Nor species list on GoaT. The species list is constantly changing, and we are actively collaborating with several genome projects to avoid sequencing the same species multiple times.

The species list includes species where the work is either finished or ongoing. For five of the species, multiple individuals have been sequenced, and the number of individuals is shown in the common name column.

We have added links to GoaT and NCBI for those species that are presented in these databases.
