The BrAPI Project is 10 years old today!!!! June 20, 2014 is the first documented meeting of the BrAPI community. There were 4 people at that meeting, now we are a community of 250+. Thank you to everyone for your contributions to this project making it a success!! #brapi

Warm welcome to #ECCB2024 in Finland! The 23rd European Conference on Computational Biology will be hosted by @UniTurku and @CSCfi in the oldest city of Finland, Turku, on 16-20 September 2024. Check out the website eccb2024.fi and get to know the key speakers!

Our @RengsWillem @the_schmidti @charliesousbois @ceplas_1 article on combination of hifi and nanopore reads for gapless tomato chromsome assemblies showing linkage drag in breeding @ThePlantJournal is a #TopDownloadedArticle. Check it out here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Interested in doing a PhD in apple (epi)genomics? Come join our team in Geisenheim to work with cutting edge genomics tools as well and gain in-depth knowledge about quantitative genetics in modern breeding approaches

The next #brapi hackathon will be April 15-19 in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany! Free to attend, everyone is welcome, as long as you work on something BrAPI related. To register and get more information go to brapi.org/events/hackath… or contact me directly with questions.

A long journey driven by @tobiasmarschal in collaboration with Gunnar and I from @cepas_1 and @rfinkers. Rebecca was relentless to answer how one can phase a tetraploid crop like #potato using hifi data as well as shallow offspring data. link.springer.com/article/10.118…
