👋 We stopped publishing on this platform. Given the enthusiasm for Bluesky in the scientific community and beyond, you will now find us there at: bsky.app/profile/sib.sw…

@WHO, Swiss Federal Office of Public Health & other experts discussed COVID learnings for ‘peacetime’ genomic surveillance systems that remain crisis-ready last week in Bern, and how our Centre for Pathogen Bioinformatics enables this transition. More 👉 sib.swiss/news/the-centr…

Renewed @SBFI_CH funding for 2025-2028 provides a solid foundation to maintain and develop SIB’s state-of-the-art national research infrastructure. The bulk will be allocated to co-develop our portfolio of leading open #bioinformatics resources. See more👇sib.swiss/news/swiss-con…

Register before 14 February to attend ! 👉 bioinformatics.unibe.ch/research/event…

📢 Do not miss the Bioinformatics Day 2025 — Margaret Dayhoff Centenary on Tuesday, 11 March 2025 at the University of Bern. Among other fascinating panels and talks, there will be a round table about the History and Future of Swiss Bioinformatics with @P_Palagi.

We are excited to share that our new tool VILOCA has been published in NAR G&B: doi.org/10.1093/nargab…! VILOCA is a novel method for mutation calling and local haplotype reconstruction from diverse viral sequencing data, which is also adept for viral surveillance in wastewater.

PhyloSIB is an annual workshop organised by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics with an emphasis on molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative phylogenomics. wp.unil.ch/biology25/sate…
