With the official publication of the first person's T2T genome by the T2T Alliance in 2022, the era of T2T has begun. However, the T2T genome of our Han people still needs to be explored because in many complex regions, differences between races, individuals, and even parents are still unclear. Further research on these overlooked regions may provide us with new insights. The new reference genome will assist in the research of precision medicine, including cancer, tumors, and aging. In addition to human research, animal genome research and biodiversity genomics research are the core contents of the EBP project. With the advancement of third-generation sequencing technology, we have the ability to obtain T2T level genomes of each species, which helps us to study animal and plant genomes more finely, potentially identifying new genes, new genome components, and even helping us solve some of the challenges in evolutionary research.
