How to evaluate the quality of a genome annotation? Introducing #OMArk, a groundbreaking tool by SIB’s @Why_Nevers & @Dessimozlab and part of the SIB Resource #SwissOrthology, now featured in Nature Biotechnology: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Quality assessment of gene repertoire annotations with OMArk go.nature.com/4bH5OaF

Our OMArk paper is finally out at Nature Biotechnology! I am excited to share the final results of our work with Natasha Glover Christophe Dessimoz Rossier Victor Dessimoz Lab. OMArk is a one-stop shop for eukaryotic genome annotation assessment. Link : nature.com/articles/s4158… (🧵)

📢 Glad to share our piece 'AI and the democratization of knowledge' Scientific Data. Data is the new oil—ripe for reuse. But what does it take to reuse? it's about making data interpretable by all, including AI, the ultimate non-specialist! #OpenScience nature.com/articles/s4159…

📢CALL FOR ABSTRACTS📢 🌟Abstract submission is now open for the Quest for Orthologs meeting #QFO8 which will be held at the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada on July 17-18! More info at event.fourwaves.com/qfo8 Deadline: April 26.

nature.com/articles/s4155… Have a look at the article I reposted by Prof Francois Balloux, Cedric C.S. Tan and Lucy van Dorp if you're interested in viruses and their evolutionary signature when jump hosts. I had the pleasure of writing a news and views piece about this work with Christophe Dessimoz

With a nice photo of lab alumnus Leonardo Martins !

Many interesting discussions at the #ISMB2024 poster sessions. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our poster and to #ISCB and Dessimoz Lab for the opportunity!

Session 24: OMA/OMArk is starting now! To join in the session, jump over to our discord at: discord.gg/gF73fCF4 Or you can join in on the YouTube stream at: youtube.com/@thebiodiversi… Sina Majidian OMA Database

Exploring gene duplications! Our study reveals how duplicated genes diverge in function using structural and expression analysis across 36 species. Check out our paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks to Alex WV, Natasha Glover, Paul Thomas, Christophe Dessimoz #Genomics #Evolution

In this exciting new preprint, Warwick Vesztrocy et al use Bgee to show that "the most diverged orthologues display the greatest change in gene expression, thus suggesting that they have a greater functional divergence" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
