The current biodiversity genomics revolution sweeping across the world is expected to get us better at sequencing genomes, conserving and improving biological resources, innovating new technologies, and informing policies globally. Rich in biological diversity, the African BioGenome Project (AfricaBP) will help to improve biological resources across Africa. More importantly, AfricaBP will build biodiversity genomics and bioinformatics capacity for African scientists whilst bringing these technologies closer to the African people through portable means that are adaptable to the African terrain.
