Two people in white lab coats and blue gloves work together at a laboratory bench, operating a small benchtop centrifuge and reviewing notes. One person wears a patterned headscarf. Pipettes, tubes, and lab supplies are visible in the background. In the lower left corner is a colorful Africa-shaped graphic filled with animal silhouettes. A dark text box overlays the lower right portion of the image with the words: “SCALING AFRICAN BIODIVERSITY GENOMICS,” with “AFRICAN” highlighted in yellow, and a white arrow points to the right.
Four antelope stand in a green grassy landscape beside a large red termite mound, with rolling hills and open dry grassland in the background. A dark text box overlays the lower portion of the image. The text reads: “A new AfricaBP publication outlines how Africa can advance biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics to help achieve the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.” The words “AfricaBP” and “Global Biodiversity Framework” are highlighted in yellow.
What does it take to scale African biodiversity genomics in an African-led, Africa-based way? 🌍🧬
