This Bioinformatics Day 2025, play Genome Jumper! Our mobile game which invites players to discover genes ???? is back online. Genome Jumper invites you to explore the human genome and its variations. From skin and eye color to food preference or disease predisposition - countless features (phenotypes) can be influenced by small changes (variants) in our DNA. Play the game to discover the effects of such changes on your avatar... Bioinformatics is at the heart of modern science, helping us understand life at the molecular level. What better way to experience it than by playing? ??

The Bioinformatics Day 2025 — Margaret Dayhoff Centenary is happening today at the University of Bern! ?? As we celebrate 100 years since Margaret Dayhoff’s birth and 60 years since her pioneering Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, the event will highlight the incredible contributions of women in bioinformatics—past, present, and future as well as address data management, open science principles, the contributions of machine learning and the relationship between academia and industry. We are proud to be a key part of today’s discussions, featuring: ?? Closing Keynote Talk: Rapha?lle Luisier, SIB Genomics and Health Informatics Group Leader, delivering the closing keynote about pushing boundaries together! ?? SIB Experts in Parallel Sessions: ?? History and Future of Swiss Bioinformatics: moderated by Marie Dangles, with Patricia Palagi Graf, and Marianna Rapsomaniki ?? Career Panel: Natasha Glover, Severine Duvaud, and Charlotte Soneson ?? Bioinformatics Spotlights of the Present: Marianna Rapsomaniki, Natasha Glover, and Emma Hodcroft ?? Full list of speakers and more information: https://lnkd.in/ejDJbS5h It’s an exciting day of discussions, insights, and networking organized by the Interfaculty Bioinformatics Unit and its Head Rémy Bruggmann—if you’re attending, be sure to connect with our experts! #MargaretDayhoff100 #WomenInScience #DataManagement #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #BioinformaticsDay2025

?? Near-real time biodiversity monitoring? Check! ???? Habitat and species assessments at a scale not previously possible? Check! ? These and other powerful new tools will be developed by the Biodiversity Meets Data project, to support the EU’s biodiversity strategy for 2030. As a project partner, SIB will improve access to data from diverse sources and co-develop innovative ‘Virtual Research Environments’ that enable user-friendly European biodiversity assessments and conservation planning. See more on this exciting new EU-funded project???? ?

?? Exciting News! Our Paper is Published in JPC & Featured as Art Cover! ?? We are thrilled to share that our paper, Increasing the Efficiency of Ensemble Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Termination of Unproductive Trajectories Identified at Runtime, has been published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry! Even more excitingly, our work has been featured as the art cover of the issue! We’re proud to see our research highlighted in this way and share the cover image below. A huge thank you to National Science Foundation (NSF) for the support that made this collaboration possible. Our goal remains to develop efficient molecular dynamics simulations that optimize supercomputing energy use while delivering high-accuracy science. Kudos to my incredible co-authors Michela Taufer, Ewa Deelman Trilce Estrada, Harel Weinstein, Michel A. Cuendet, Jack Marquez, and Silvina Caino-Lores—for their hard work and dedication!

"Remember The Glycans", a recent response to "Confronting risks of mirror life" which was published in Science in December, argues that an accurate assessment of the potential threat of mirror-image life forms requires careful consideration of glycans (carbohydrates), which are crucial components of cell surfaces and play vital roles in immune responses. The list of authors includes Ratmir Derda, Carolyn Bertozzi and Frederique Lisacek who leads the Proteome Informatics Group at SIB. ?? Read the response https://lnkd.in/eFd-Uw2F
