#Opensource software and workflows are doing a lot of heavy lifting 🏋️ in the life sciences! Let's revisit ✨ ELIXIR's report on "Open source software and workflows: a driving force for innovation in life sciences" to find out the importance of #OSSWs 👉 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17570133
Great news! We will be there :)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing health threat, making infections harder to treat and complicating routine medical care.
EMBL-EBI’s new AMR portal brings together laboratory resistance data and bacterial genomes in one open platform.

Pipeline release! nf-core/proteinfamilies v1.2.0 - Aluminium Frog!
Please see the changelog: github.com/nf-core/proteinfamilies/...
DIAMOND v2.1.12 provides support for the new NCBI taxonomic ranks and various other fixes. github.com/bbuchfink/di...
Interesting. I work on that space, in metagenomics to be more specific. I'll tinker with it and then will share some thoughts.
I'm not there, but have you considered datasette for bioinformatics? A big chunk of bioinfo is wrangling csv/tsv files.
@olgabot.bsky.social, CEO & Founder at @seanome.bsky.social, just gave an insightful talk on her vision to create the best protein annotator for any organism using @nf-co.re, supporting efforts to better understand global biodiversity through large-scale sequencing. 🌍🧬
