On behalf of all of the Kakapo 125 Project collaborators I'm pleased to announce the completion of sequencing the second 40 kākāpō genomes!
This brings us past the halfway point in our effort to sequence the genomes of an entire species.
Thank you all for your amazing continued support. I look forward to keeping you updated as we edge closer to completing this groundbreaking research made possible by all of you.
All the best

The goal of this project is to sequence the genome's of all 125 known living kākāpō. Please help us to save one of the world's most unique and endangered species by allowing us to obtain the detailed genetic information necessary to minimize the loss of genetic diversity, and optimise health and productivity in the existing population.
