@naturemethods Right on point. But this is true not just for “real experimental” data, but also data and knowledge that are derived from raw data. See nature.com/articles/s4159… Also right on point that “data repositories need stable support from funders”.

As life sciences research becomes enmeshed in the age of AI, real experimental data are more valuable than ever. Read more in this month's Editorial. nature.com/articles/s4159…

@natashaloder Alcoholfree beer. Some fantastic IPAs out there.

Looking for alternatives to alcohol that still help me unwind, socialize, or feel a bit happy. What’s your go-to—mocktails, adaptogens, something else? Tell me what works.

Excited to share our new preprint from ELIXIR members on Open & Sustainable AI that tackles challenges in life science research related to AI models and provides actionable recommendations to mitigate them. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2505.16619 #ELIXIREurope

Very excited to give a virtual talk as part of the @eshgsociety webinar series tomorrow at 4pm (CEST). If you want to listen in, register here: wma.eventsair.com/eshg-webinar-s… I will talk about all the exciting things we can learn from GWAS summary statistics...

Vaccines have saved 6 lives every minute since 1974. Thank you, @VilleDeGeneve, for marking the beginning of #WorldImmunizationWeek. It’s time to show the world that immunization for all is #HumanlyPossible.

Follow the Disentis Roadmap on Bluesky (libroscope.bsky.social), Mastodon (@libroscope" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ecoevo.social/@libroscope), or LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/disent…) to keep up with the latest developments.

@NicGambardella I totally agree! There is still so much left to characterise, both the protein coding parts *and* the non-coding parts!

Excellent resource! My only unease is the continuous equation gene = protein-coding gene. I wonder when we will finally overcome that limitation. We know so much (and so little) about the vast non-coding RNA world. RNA-seq gives us their presence, but no GO enrichment possible

Really excited to join @unige_en Faculty of Medicine as associate professor. I look forward to expanding our research program in systems immunology within the Dep. of Pathology and Immunology and contributing to advance the Faculty's data science capabilities! JOB OPPORTUNITY👇

The PAN-GO paper is a remarkable milestone. It not only provides the most comprehensive picture of human gene function to date, but also carefully maps this knowledge across the tree of life! Congratulations Marc Feuermann, Pascale Gaudet et al! sib.swiss/news/sib-helps…

Wir leben in einer Welt, in der es mehr Technologie und Wissenschaft gibt als je zuvor, daher ist ein klarer, starker Wissenschaftsjournalismus wichtiger denn je! #srf #WissenschaftsjournalismusRetten

A successful #PhyloSIB workshop today held @unil with presentations from 15 @ISBSIB groups on a wide range of methods & applications - looking forward to the next edition! #bioinformatics #phylogeny #phylogenomics

How are different #orthology methods related and how well do they perform? Read about this and a new orthology benchmark in "New developments for the Quest for Orthologs benchmark service" academic.oup.com/nargab/article…

Excited to be in Bern today to launch the Center for Pathogen Bioinformatics (CPB) - a great collaboration of @SIB, @TanjaStadler_CH & Niko Beerenwinkel @ETH, @richardneher @UniBasel & myself @SwissTPH, to better tackle known & novel pathogens - introduced today by @cdessimoz!
