We visited the powerful army of supercomputers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute 🖥️🏆☺️ and had a lab nerd meltdown 😅🫣 Looks like we’re stepping into an era where we trade our beloved pipettes🧪👩🏼‍🔬 microscopes 🔬and cozy lab benches🧑🏻‍🔬 🧬 for keyboards and code🧑🏻‍💻⌨️🖱️ Someone save us 😂 @10klepgenomes.bsky.social

(1/6) 🦋 We are thrilled to announce the release of the 1,000th reference genome of Lepidoptera species found in Europe! This goal was reached with the release of Stenoptilia islandicus, also known as the mountain plume moth. Read the story below!👇🏽

Genome sequencing progress for Lepidoptera.
Stacked bar charts represent the cumulative number of lepidopteran species with a reference genome per year. The colours represent the different levels of genome assembly quality, ranging from contig to chromosome-level. Numbers in brackets represent the range in numbers of species that have a given assembly level per year. Data derived from GoaT on 05.09.2025.
