These silent fireworks on warm summer nights fill us with wonder. But so much about these fascinating critters remains shrouded in mystery- from the details of how they light up their lanterns to the way some species are disappearing. A team of biologists has joined forces to sequence the genome of the Big Dipper Firefly, <em>Photinus pyralis<\/em>, your common backyard firefly. This project is part of the PacBio \u201cExplore your most interesting genome\u201d contest. If you\u2019d like to see the firefly genome sequenced, please go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pacb.com\/smrtgrant\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.pacb.com\/smrtgrant\/<\/a> and vote for the project. Voting opens Monday, April 11 and runs through Sunday, May 1st. One person can vote once per day.
