Biology Moonshot, Earth BioGenome Project, Encompasses Earth’s Eukaryotes

Man is not the measure of all things, at least not all thing genomic. Otherwise, we could have sequenced the human genome and called it a day. No, we’re widening our genomic vision so far that we just sequence the DNA of every eukaryotic organism on the planet. It would be a huge undertaking, but well worth the effort, insist the advocates of the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), a moonshot for biology that would complete its task in 10 years.To date, the genomes of less than 0.2% of eukaryot
