<h2>Summary</h2> The Earth BioGenome Project, which aims to decode the genomes of all named eukaryotes, is preparing to enter phase II. Thanks to continuing improvements in technologies, it has so far managed to exceed expectations while staying on budget. A key target of the next phase is to build capacity in the Global South, where most of Earth's biodiversity is found. <b>Michael Gross</b> reports.
