                            <para>The Hong Kong Biodiversity Genomics Consortium (a.k.a. the EarthBioGenome Project Hong Kong) is a joint effort of eight local universities funded by the Hong Kong University Grants Committee (UGC). This project aims to sequence genomes of local animals, plants, and fungi in the local territory with a state-of-the-art genome sequencer and to form a local network of biodiversity genomic research hub. And is aligned with the aims of the Earth BioGenome Project, which has been described as a moonshot project for biology, aims to sequence, catalogue, and analyse the genomes of all eukaryotes on Earth.  </para>
