LaGomiCs—Lagomorph Genomics Consortium: an international collaborative effort for sequencing the genomes of an entire mammalian order
No full textThe order Lagomorpha comprises about 90 living species, divided in 2 families: the pikas (Family
Ochotonidae), and the rabbits, hares, and jackrabbits (Family Leporidae). Lagomorphs are important
economically and scientifically as major human food resources, valued game species, pests of
agricultural significance, model laboratory animals, and key elements in food webs. A quarter of
the lagomorph species are listed as threatened. They are native to all continents except Antarctica,
and occur up to 5000 m above sea level, from the equator to the Arctic, spanning a wide range
of environmental conditions. The order has notable taxonomic problems presenting significant
difficulties for defining a species due to broad phenotypic variation, overlap of morphological
characteristics, and relatively recent speciation events. At present, only the genomes of 2 species,
the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and American pika (Ochotona princeps) have been
sequenced and assembled. Starting from a paucity of genome information, the main scientific
aim of the Lagomorph Genomics Consortium (LaGomiCs), born from a cooperative initiative of
the European COST Action “A Collaborative European Network on Rabbit Genome Biology—RGBNet”
and the World Lagomorph Society (WLS), is to provide an international framework for the
sequencing of the genome of all extant and selected extinct lagomorphs. Sequencing the genomes
of an entire order will provide a large amount of information to address biological problems not only related to lagomorphs but also to all mammals. We present current and planned sequencing programs and outline the final objective of LaGomiCs possible through broad international collaboration
