These last 4 days in the EMBO Lab Leadership course have been invaluable. Interesting, thought-provoking, practical, eye-opening. I learned so many skills! Getting to know the teachers and the participants was the cherry on the cake. 10/10 would recommend ⭐️

In a post #AlphaFold world, we can use protein structures in ways we never could before. Can we build phylogenies with them? Are they any good? Yes! Foldtree (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) surpasses traditional sequence-based methods, even for closely related proteins.👇

🚀 Exciting news from the OMA team! Our 2024 update brings a host of improvements to our orthology knowledgebase. Stay tuned for a series of highlights! #OMAUpdate2024 #Genomics #Bioinformatics academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

🔎#SIBWebsiteTour – Did you know we developed a number of fun ways to discover #bioinformatics & its key role in society ? 🧩workshops 🎮mobile games 🎒classroom activities 💭and even comic strips! Check out our dedicated page 👉 sib.swiss/about/activiti… #scicomm #womeninSTEM

#SciComm The banana conjecture has hit Main Street! This poster was spotted on the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. Check out the exhibition at the Zurich Kulturama, a.k.a. “The museum of Human Evolution".

Excited to release FastOMA, a rewrite of OMA orthology algorithm that scales linearly, while maintaining OMA’s high accuracy. FastOMA can process all >2000 eukaryotic UniProt ref proteomes within 24 hours. Try it out github.com/DessimozLab/Fa… Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/4)

📢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.

Quest for Orthologs 2024: if orthology predictions are your thing, you need to be in Montreal this summer! ISCB News UQAM | Université du Québec à Montréal Meeting info: ➡️QfO-8 website: event.fourwaves.com/qfo8/pages 📣Sharable meeting announcement: community.alliancegenome.org/t/quest-for-or…

Join us at the Quest for Orthologs meeting in Montreal this summer! It is right after ISMB, so if you’re going to Canada, you might as well get 2 conferences with one stone 😉. This meeting is not just for orthology method-makers, but for orthology users too!
