For all other species get in touch with Sylke Winkler directly.
Apart from vertebrates for the VGP and Bat1K projects, we sequenced more vertebrates, invertebrates and plant species making use of long read technologies such as
a) other vertebrate species:

The VGP has evolved from the international Genome 10K project, which originally aimed to generate the genomes of 10,000 or more vertebrate species with the short-read technology that…
Kai Simons remembers: “The challenge was to build up something from scratch. We could leave absolutely nothing to chance. I knew that we had to be successful within three years or so.”
