The Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) is committed to generating high-quality reference genomes for all ~70,000 living vertebrate species. Listen to Tatiana Tilley and Dr. Erich Jarvis on how our data are made widely available to the research community and to the public at large. Our open platform, GenomeArk (https://vgp.github.io), houses all our final assemblies as well as their associated raw data and intermediate files.

Dr. Giulio Formenti, bioinformatics lead at the Vertebrate Genome Lab at The Rockefeller University, presented the latest results of the Vertebrate Genomes Project and the Human PanGenome Consortium.

Dr. Erich Jarvis, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, professor at The Rockefeller University and head of the Vertebrate Genome Project (VGP), discussed an interesting difference between hospitalized patients and controls where the severely ill show more variation in a part of the Interferon Alpha and Beta Receptor Subunit 1 gene, a key part of the interferon pathway that regulates immune response..

This is the recording of the Genome Assembly (Session 1) from 22nd March 2021.

Yes! A genome is an incredible thing! It is a blueprint of every living organism, like a puzzle. But no tech can (yet!) make a 1-piece puzzle. Olivier Fedrigo, Director of the Vertebrate Genome Lab at The Rockefeller University explains how we assemble puzzles w/o the box cover and missing pieces.

In this PacBio Virtual Global Summit 2020 presentation, Jennifer Balacco of the Vertebrate Genome Lab at Rockefeller University describes experiences and findings towards pursuing error-free genomes at the Vertebrate Genome Lab. This includes sample prep tips and an example of a VGP high-quality reference genome generated from a museum specimen.

In this SMRT Leiden 2020 Online Virtual Event presentation, Erich Jarvis of Rockefeller University shares an update on the Vertebrate Genome Project and a few exciting developments related to using the new Platinum-quality genomes to study functional evolutionary traits.

Michelle Kim, lead scientist at Circulomics, and Christa Caneda, associate scientist at Arima Genomics, host a panel discussion about sample prep tips on how to sequence anything. They are joined by

• Maggie Weitzman - University of Oregon, Genomics and Cell Characterization Core Facility

• Tanya Murtha - Iowa State University, DNA Facility

• Jennifer Balacco – Rockefeller University, Vertebrate Genome Lab

Dr. Olivier Fedrigo, Director of the Vertebrate Genome Lab at The Rockefeller University, presented the latest results of the Vertebrate Genomes Project.

In this webinar, learn from a true inspirational scientist, Dr.Erich Jarvis of Rockefeller University who leads the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Dr. Jarvis explains how he is using a range of technologies, including Bionano optical mapping, to generate platinum quality genomes and the lessons the VGP has learned while generating near error-free genome assemblies of over 260 species.

Erich Jarvis from the Rockefeller University discusses the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP), which is a project of the G10K Consortium and is working to generate genome assemblies of all 70,000 extant vertebrate species.

Vertebrate Genomes Project & first data release, 15 new reference genomes. Press briefing, 12 September 2018, 10:00 a.m. EST

The Vertebrate Genomes Project will help save 8,000 endangered species by sequencing the complete genomes of all 8,000 species, thereby creating a digital genome library of species.
