The new ERGA Community Genome Report Collection at Pensoft RIO

At this month's ERGA Plenary meeting, on Monday, June 16 at 15:00 CEST, Robert Waterhouse will introduce the new ERGA Community Genome Report Collection at Pensoft's Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO) journal.

Abstract

The new ERGA Community Genome Report Collection at Pensoft RIO

The new European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) Community Genome Reports collection at Pensoft's Research Ideas and Outcomes journal provides a single platform to collate publications from the ERGA Community describing their reference genomes. An ERGA Genome Report is a technical description that clearly presents the methodologies employed for sequencing and assembling genomes, together with standard quality metrics and relevant metadata, and genome annotation information if available. The ERGA Genome Reports preprinted and/or published through this collection follow a standardised format to ensure consistent quality and facilitate data findability and reuse. Genome Reports published elsewhere will be considered for inclusion in this collection if they (1) align with the ERGA Genome Report standards and (2) clearly acknowledge ERGA in the manuscript. Through collating Genome Reports from across ERGA affiliated projects and members, this collection provides an open-access resource that promotes high standards, supports comparative analyses, and drives advances in genomics research.
