Today we celebrate EMBL’s 50th anniversary 🎉 and in doing so we are reminded of how curiosity has driven our own missions. From managing the world’s life science data to fueling AI innovations, EMBL-EBI's journey captures the spirit of @EMBL. #EMBL50

Kicking off soon our new webinar series, "Advances in Spatial Omics: Exploring Concepts, Innovations, and Resources"! Registration is free but essential for each webinar you wish to join: ebi.ac.uk/training/searc… #bioinformatics #DataScience #SpatialOmics #singlecell #OpenAccess

Excited to publish our collaborative work defining a new standard called "MAMS", which will aid in harmonization and reproducibility of single cell data. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Combining data from different single-cell sequencing experiments is often hindered by inconsistent metadata and file formats. Introducing MAMS; a new standard for metadata that promotes harmonisation and reproducibility across datasets. Find out more: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
