In this talk Liam will tell us about the Wytham Genome Project which is part of the Darwin Tree of Life project and how it seeks to understand the diversity of life, to explore the biology of organisms and ecosystems and to aid conservation efforts through the collection of DNA samples from 70,000 UK species. (Please note this talk will be preceded by the OOS AGM)
