#HappyValentineDay! We're also halfway through #AmericanHeartMonth. #DidYouKnow our prolific contributing group Functional Gene Annotation is responsible for 3000 #cardiovascular #GOTerms? Many of their >45k manual #GeneOntology annotations to >5k human #proteins are❤️-related from British Heart Foundation funding

As announced yesterday, Professor Andrew Cook has been awarded $600K in the latest round of funding by USA-based foundation, Additional Ventures. Study aims to explore ‘Single-Ventricle Disease’ using the novel technology of synchrotron-based HiP-CT

A huge welcome to the newest members of the #GeneOntology Consortium, Siyao Huang & Qianhan Xu, who are part of the Functional Gene Annotation team. We're thrilled to have you as part of the team!

Due to overwhelming demand, we've extended the application deadline for our summer school in bioinformatics course until next week: ebi.ac.uk/training/event… New deadline: 12 March We hope the extra time gives you the chance to submit your application for this popular course.

Fantastic to see my previous student, Diana Luna Buitrago, writing this great review of microRNA analysis tools: Insights into Online microRNA Bioinformatics Tools mdpi.com/2311-553X/9/2/…

Today's #WisdomWednesday tidbit is another frequent flyer on our Helpdesk. Q: What's the best way to get high-quality #GeneOntology annotations for a novel/underannotated organism? A: Just submit the transcriptome to NCBI!
