Genomics is a powerful tool for estimating genome-wide\ngenetic diversity, offering precise and accurate estimates of the status\nand trajectory of genetic diversity within species and populations.\nHowever, the widespread integration of genomic information into\nbiodiversity conservation and management efforts faces challenges due to\na lack of standardised genome-wide data generation methods and\napplications. The heterogeneity of approaches can make it difficult to\nconsistently interpret the results and clearly communicate key\ninformation to stakeholders such as practitioners and decision-makers.\nTo begin to address these challenges, the European Reference Genome\nAtlas (ERGA) promotes the standardisation of methodologies for\nhigh-quality reference genome sequencing and analysis as part of the\nglobal network of the Earth BioGenome Project. ERGA is also proactively\ndeveloping best practices to engage stakeholders in biodiversity\ngenomics research, starting with examining case studies and conducting\nmapping efforts to familiarise researchers with pathways to effective\nengagement. An emerging theme is the researchers\u2019 experience of variable\nperceptions amongst stakeholders of the value and utility of reference\ngenomes and genomics data in biodiversity conservation and management.\nAddressing this issue calls for consensus on standardised genome-wide\ndata generation methods and applications that will help to deliver the\nhighest standards for accuracy, interpretability, and comparability. We\nbelieve converging on consensus methods standardisation is essential for\nfostering the stakeholder trust and confidence required to successfully\npromote widespread adoption of genome-wide genetic diversity assessments\nin biodiversity conservation and management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22541\/au.172510123.38206942\/v1","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,31]],"date-time":"2024-08-31T06:47:20Z","timestamp":1725086840000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Harmonising genomics research excellence and stakeholder needs in conservation management"],"prefix":"10.22541","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0714-5301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Buzan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Primorska"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4341-1200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian de","family":"Guttry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Bortoluzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Florence"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6031-005X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathaniel","family":"Street","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ume\u00e5 University"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2253-2556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kay","family":"Lucek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Neuch\u00e2tel"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7003-5941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Rosling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Uppsala University"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2679-625X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lino","family":"Ometto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pavia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0598-8789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alice","family":"Mouton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Li\u00e8ge Arlon Campus"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00edsa","family":"Marins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berlin Center for Genomics in Biodiversity Research (BeGenDiv)"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"Ruiz-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Estaci\u00f3n Biol\u00f3gica de Do\u00f1ana"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4473-1908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Melo-Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIBIO, Centro de Investigacao em Biodiversidade e Recursos Geneticos, InBIO Laboratorio Associado, Universidade do Porto"}]},{"given":"Elisabet","family":"Ottosson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6758-5427","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camila","family":"Mazzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Berlin Center for Genomics in Biodiversity Research (BeGenDiv)"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Waterhouse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics"}]}],"member":"311","container-title":[],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.authorea.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.22541\/au.172510123.38206942\/v1","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T11:18:55Z","timestamp":1778671135000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.authorea.com\/doi\/full\/10.22541\/au.172510123.38206942\/v1"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,31]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22541\/au.172510123.38206942\/v1","relation":{},"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,31]]},"subtype":"preprint"}}
