Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am both at a loss for words, and exploding with joy. Thank you to each and every backer. Because of you (yes, you!), the first steps towards a Gila monster genome will happen. We will have a lot more updates to come, but for now, let's celebrate!

The Gila monster, with its distinctive black and orange pattern, is one of Arizona’s most iconic animals. A peptide from its saliva has inspired treatments for diabetes, but Gila monsters are currently threatened by habitat destruction and poaching. Surprisingly there is no Gila monster genome. By sequencing and analyzing Gila monster DNA, we will contribute critical knowledge and resources for the study of Gila monster venom in medical genetics and for their conservation.
