The Catalan Initiative for the Earth BioGenome Project (CBP) is an EBP-affiliated project network aimed at sequencing the genome of the >40 000 eukaryotic species estimated to live in the Catalan-speaking territories (Catalan Linguistic Area, CLA). These territories represent a biodiversity hotspot. While covering less than 1% of Europe, they are home to about one fourth of all known European eukaryotic species. These include a high proportion of endemisms, many of which are threatened. This trend is likely to get worse as the effects of global change are expected to be particularly severe across the Mediterranean Basin, particularly in freshwater ecosystems and mountain areas. Following the EBP model, the CBP is a networked organization that has been able to engage many scientific and non-scientific partners. In the pilot phase, the genomes of 52 species are being sequenced. As a case study in biodiversity conservation, we highlight the genome of the Balearic shearwater , sequenced under the CBP umbrella.
加泰罗尼亚地球生物基因组计划(CBP)倡议是一个与地球生物基因组计划(EBP)相关的项目网络,旨在对估计生活在加泰罗尼亚语地区(加泰罗尼亚语言区,CLA)的4万多种真核生物的基因组进行测序。这些地区是生物多样性热点地区。虽然它们覆盖的面积不到欧洲的1%,但却是所有已知欧洲真核生物物种中约四分之一的家园。其中包括高比例的特有物种,其中许多受到威胁。随着全球变化的影响预计在地中海盆地将尤为严重,特别是在淡水生态系统和山区,这种趋势可能会变得更糟。遵循EBP模式,CBP是一个网络化组织,能够吸引许多科学和非科学合作伙伴。在试点阶段,正在对52个物种的基因组进行测序。作为生物多样性保护的一个案例研究,我们重点介绍了在CBP框架下测序的巴利阿里剪水鹱的基因组。
