25 Genomes at New Scientist Live
Alongside robots, slime and VR machines, Sanger researchers were at New Scientist Live last week – talking genomes, Alison Cranage reports
Building capacity for genomic surveillance of malaria mosquitoes in Africa
Funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will enable the Pan African Mosquito Control Association (PAMCA) to launch nine new projects for mosquito genomics researchers across Africa. The Sanger Institute will sequence 500 mosquito genomes from each study. The deadline for research applications is 3 October 2018

The golden eagle genome has landed
The golden eagle genome is the first sequence completed as part of the 25 Genomes Project. Kat Arney talks to Rob Ogden about how this will help conservationists protect and manage these fabulous birds.
A new deal on data – articulating the contract between science and people
Now is the time for scientists to strike a deal everyone that benefits society as well as research, argue Anna Middleton, Vivienne Parry and Julian Borra
25 Genomes update. Yes, it’s been a while …
More than half of the species’ genomes have now been sequenced and assembled. But starfish, flatworms and truffles are a different matter, Dan Mead discovers
A trusty guide for exploring the complexity of cells
Single cell RNA sequencing data can be used to identify cell types. Martin Hemberg and Vladimir Kiselev explain how their new scmap method can help the Human Cell Atlas initiative by analysing this data.
