Abstract: Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference genomes. Various international initiatives aim to generate reference genomes representing global biodiversity. These genomes provide unique insights into genomic diversity and architecture, thereby enabling comprehensive analyses of population and functional genomics, and are expected to revolutionize conservation genomics.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2021.
