EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) provides open biological data resources and tools, and performs basic research in computational biology. https://www.ebi.ac.uk/
📣 We're recruiting for the EMBL-EBI-Sanger Postdoctoral (ESPOD) programme! ESPOD builds on the collaborative relationship between EMBL-EBI and the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social, offering projects that combine wet and dry-lab experience. Learn more & apply: www.ebi.ac.uk/research/pos...
Six months after joining EMBL-EBI, Cath Brooksbank accidentally deleted the Gene Ontology knowledgebase – then reinstated it at 6 p.m. on a Friday. Her willingness to step into the unfamiliar and own it defines Cath’s career. Her lessons on trust and training below 👇 www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/p...
Cath Brooksbank: What I’ve learnedAfter building one of the world’s leading bioinformatics training programmes, Cath Brooksbank reflects on trust and how to never lose your enthusiasm for sciencewww.ebi.ac.ukMeet Dal Nijjer, 🇬🇧 Product Manager & Coordinator at Europe PMC. Dal went from bookselling to helping researchers navigate millions of scientific papers. Discover how Dal’s team uses AI to make literature search more intuitive and why he loves bouldering 🧗& interior design 🛋️ tinyurl.com/3kk2m2mc
What happens when you take a Nobel Prize-winning AI and make its predictions free for everyone to use? A new independent report shows that papers using the AlphaFold Database span a wider range of fields than those using the algorithm alone. s.embl.org/EMBL-EBI-202...
DECIPHER v11.39 is now available, featuring N=1 variant assessments and UKCGG clinical guidelines. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/u... @deciphergenomics.bsky.social
deciphergenomicsN=1 assessed variant information is now displayed on N=1 tabs. These are variants which have been assessed for their eligibility for a therapeutic intervention by the @n1collaborative.bsky.social #TreatmentForAll
From the Pacific to our resources⛵ 💾 We're working with @taraoceans-science.bsky.social to understand why some reefs thrive while others struggle. By hosting the expedition's eDNA and genomic data, we’re helping scientists unlock the secrets of climate resilience. www.embl.org/news/science...
The human proteome has millions of missense variants, and only around 2% have clinical annotation. ProtVar now combines curated data and AI with advanced filtering to interpret human missense variants with unprecedented flexibility. Find out more: www.embl.org/news/announc...
71% That's how many survey respondents say EMBL-EBI enables work that would otherwise be impossible or take much more time and effort. For the community, by the community. From our teams to yours, thank you for championing open data! s.embl.org/EMBL-EBI-202...
We told you it wouldn’t be a long wait. 👀 Even more predicted protein structures have been added to the #AlphaFold Database. This time, the database has expanded to include heterodimers – protein complexes made up of two different proteins. alphafold.ebi.ac.uk
Welcome, Mar Gonzalez-Porta 🇪🇸, our new Team Leader for the @enasequence.bsky.social & BioSamples. Her biggest challenge? Managing a rapidly growing data volume, equivalent to 4,000+ years of streaming, while keeping both resources trusted and community-engaged. www.embl.org/news/perspec...
What is the value of open data for the life sciences? 📈 New report by Frontier Economics shows that EMBL-EBI data resources save users an average of 11 hours/week/person, leading to £11.8bn/year in research productivity gains. s.embl.org/EMBL-EBI-202... #opendata
Do you work with genetic resources collected elsewhere 🧬 ? Are you confident that you’re using them fairly and legally? New step-by-step guide to the Nagoya Protocol helps researchers navigate this complex framework. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/p...
Meet Anu Shivalikanjli, Senior Bioinformatician at EMBL-EBI. She manages large-scale biological data, making it FAIR for scientists worldwide. Where do you usually get your data from? www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/p... #WeAreEMBL #WomenInSTEM
In collaboration with the TransCODE consortium, EMBL-EBI scientists have found over 1,700 new proteins in the ‘dark proteome,’ a region of the human genome once thought to be noncoding. These new proteins could have implications for human diseases, including cancer. tinyurl.com/yc4t6s3s
EMBL-EBI is part of the core infrastructure that makes genomic medicine and research possible. Explore the different ways in which our open data resources, tools and research are enabling scientists to get a better understanding of diseases. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/our-im... #genomicmedicine
Sharing imaging data drives discovery🔬 Modern microscopy generates huge imaging datasets but turning this data into biological findings remains a challenge. @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social explains how shared, annotated data is accelerating image analysis and discovery. www.cell.com/patterns/ful...
Rare diseases are hard to diagnose. Data sharing is changing that. Sharing genomic and clinical data through DECIPHER helps clinicians identify rare conditions faster, advance research and provide answers to families. www.embl.org/news/science... #rarediseases
As part of the SAMBAI project, @bertharz.bsky.social studies cancer genomics in populations of recent African ancestry. This is a unique opportunity to make science more accessible and support historically underserved communities. www.embl.org/news/people-... @cancergrand.bsky.social #cancer
