## Description

Demospongiae Genome Portal is a comprehensive resource dedicated to the study and exploration of sponge genomes, particularly within the class Demospongiae. This innovative portal serves as a pivotal platform for researchers and enthusiasts, offering extensive publications and valuable resources on various sponge species, including well-studied entities such as Amphimendon queenslandica, Cymbastela concentrica, and Tethya wilhelma. The portal encourages contributions of data from the scientific community, fostering collaboration and enhancing collective knowledge of sponge biology and genetics. Maintained by the Molecular Geo- & Paleobiology lab at LMU Munich, the Demospongiae Genome Portal benefits from funding through LMU Munich's Institutional Strategy LMUexcellent, part of the German Excellence Initiative and the German Research Foundation (DFG). This initiative not only promotes research in paleobiology but also paves the way for future studies in marine biology and ecology, highlighting the importance of sponges in aquatic ecosystems. Participants are welcomed to engage, share data, and explore the depths of sponge genomics.
