European Lepidoptera Population Genomics Workshop 2025

The 10K Lep Genomes COST action (EU) is a large consortium whose aims are generating, sharing, and utilizing reference genomes and resequencing data for all European Lepidoptera. LepEU is a group of researchers focused upon sampling populations of Lepidoptera species across Europe, to look for patterns of local adaptation across geography and through seasons. Our aim is to generate individual level re-sequencing data for diverse populations that are of shared interest to LepEU and 10KLepGenomes members. This workshop is the 2025 gathering of LepEU and the Population genomics analyses Working group (WG4), supported by the COST action. This meeting is for people to meet in person, organise our efforts for this and coming years (collection, sequencing, analyses) and to start processing specimens and extract DNA for sequencing. A preliminary schedule stands as follows 12/05 Arrival of participants and meetup in town in the late afternoon 13/05 Discussion and Meeting format at the CNRS campus 14/05 Further discussions then Preparation of samples for DNA extractions at the CNRS campus 15/05 DNA extractions at the facility on the University campus (just nearby) 16/05 Excursion to meet with the Lepidoptera fauna in the Mediterranean surroudings.
