Biodiversity Genomics Europe, funded by Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL6-2021-BIODIV-01-01, aims at aligning the resources and research agendas of both DNA barcoding and reference genome generation, thus opening the door for a true quantum leap in biodiversity genomics research in Europe.

Despite ground-breaking developments in both DNA barcoding and full genome sequencing, there remains a critical need to develop and strengthen functioning communities of practice ...

Within the Biodiversity Genomics Europe project, the "Ecological Restoration - Soil" case study was designed to evaluate changes in soil biodiversity during the process of ecological succession, sampling a chronosequence of replicated plots at different stages of restoration since land abandonment. The present SOP describes soil sampling under sterile and cold conditions for metabarcoding analyses. This case study involved sampling four successional stages, represented by specific vegetation types ...

Within the Biodiversity Genomics Europe project, the "Pollinator Communities" case study was designed to evaluate pollinator diversity in urban gardens in comparison with agricultural fields, to understand the role of urban habitats for pollinator conservation. This SOP describes the sampling design and Malaise trap fieldwork to retrieve pollinator bulk samples for metabarcoding analysis. This case study involved paired sampling, choosing one large garden and one agricultural field with no more ...

Within the Biodiversity Genomics Europe project, the "High Mountain Systems - Arthropods" case study was designed to evaluate how arthropod communities change along altitudinal gradients in seven selected mountain systems across different countries in Europe, establishing baseline sampling in mountain ranges to track biodiversity shifts associated with climate change. This SOP describes the sampling design and fieldwork methodology for retrieving arthropod bulk samples for metabarcoding analyses. ...

This is a project specific guide for the Bioiversity Genomics Europe (BGE project use of WorkflowHub.

SOP for DNA extraction and Illumina amplicon library preparation of soil core samples collected for the Case Study "Characterization of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Biodiversity from Soil Samples" withing the scope of BGE (Biodiversity Genomics Europe) project.

SOP for DNA extraction and Illumina amplicon library preparation of encapsulated water samples collected for the Case Study "Detection of Non-Indigenous Marine Species from Port Water Samples" withing the scope of BGE (Biodiversity Genomics Europe) project.

To make your workflow FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), register it in WorkflowHub, a workflow registry with rich metadata capture for workflow discovery and sharing, and value-added services, for workflow testing (LifeMonitor), execution and publication.

The EuroScienceGateway, Biodiversity Genomics Europe and BioDT projects will use WorkflowHub to organise, share and publish their workflows.

HiC scaffolding pipeline

Snakemake pipeline for scaffolding of a genome using HiC reads using yahs.

Prerequisites

This pipeine has been tested using Snakemake v7.32.4 and requires conda for installation of required tools. To run the pipline use the command:

snakemake --use-conda --cores N

where N is number of cores to use. There are provided a set of configuration and running scripts for exectution on a slurm queueing system. After configuring the cluster.json file run:

./run_cluster ...

Purge dups

This snakemake pipeline is designed to be run using as input a contig-level genome and pacbio reads. This pipeline has been tested with snakemake v7.32.4. Raw long-read sequencing files and the input contig genome assembly must be given in the config.yaml file. To execute the workflow run:

snakemake --use-conda --cores N

Or configure the cluster.json and run using the ./run_cluster command

HiC contact map generation

Snakemake pipeline for the generation of .pretext and .mcool files for visualisation of HiC contact maps with the softwares PretextView and HiGlass, respectively.

Prerequisites

This pipeine has been tested using Snakemake v7.32.4 and requires conda for installation of required tools. To run the pipline use the command:
