How will this proposal help your transition to become an independent researcher? (400 words maximum) Please describe your work in this area to date and, how it equips you to conduct the proposed work. State, and how the proposed project will be distinct from the work of your current or previous supervisors and thereby allow you to develop an independent programme of research. Please state whether this is targeted at supporting your application for future fellowship or other funding calls. This will be shared with the Steering Committee, so do not include any personal, identifiable information you do not wish to be shared.
Scientific Case (de novo)* Please cover (up to 400 words):
1. How a reference genome will aid the work of your group and of others, noting the potential for studentship training, further grant or fellowship proposals, or to applied conservation, etc.
2. How other available genome resources will maximise the impact of this reference genome or, alternatively, how the lack of related reference genomes or the unusual nature of the proposed reference genome make this a valuable resource.
Collection of geographical data on sampling locations We need to know the geographical origins of your samples, ideally a latitude and longitude. If this is not known, please provide the sea or country in which the samples are collected, then further location detail such as the field site, the research station, the island, lake, river or the nearest city in which samples have been collected.
For samples maintained in labs or from aquaria, museums, zoos, etc, please state where originally collected or their geographical range in the wild.
DO NOT submit GPS coordinates; please convert them into Decimal Degrees format (https://www.gps-coordinates.net/gps-coordinates-converter).
Finally, you must have appropriate legal and ethical permissions for the collection and analysis of your samples.
