March 29^th 2021 - Despite the lockdown and pending new sanitary restrictions, things are progressing! Claudia announces that she has processed 8400 specimens and added 3700 new photographs to the database. Meanwhile, Dario has tissue-clipped 2500 samples, ready to be sequenced as soon as the lab re-opens.
