Come and see us at #microbio26 in Belfast! We’re in the Genetics and Genomics session (part 2) and also at poster A038.

We’ve lots of stickers! Ask us for stickers!

See you at #MicroSoc2026 #MicroSoc26 in Belfast for stickers and microbial genomes and taxonomy chat!

A preview of the MicroSoc2026 pyani-plus hex sticker. It shows a red and blue chequered background (ANI comparison output generated by pyani-plus), over which lies the genomeRxiv logo - two kidney-shaped genomes with base-pairing between them - and white text reading "pyani-plus MicroSoc2026"

We'll be at the
@microbiologysociety.org
Annual Conference in Belfast this year, with a poster describing the new features in pyani-plus, and a talk about benchmarking genome comparisons. There will also be stickers!

See you there 🦠
