ISCB RegSys COSI

What a fantastic #ISMBECCB2025 conference it has been, with an outstanding #RegSys @iscb-regsys.bsky.social COSI track!

Thanks, everyone, for submitting, attending, presenting, and organizing @iscb.bsky.social @eccb-europe.bsky.social

Join us in room 11 for the opening talk of the RegSys COSI track in just 20 minutes from the amazing @verapancaldi.bsky.social - don’t miss it! #ISMBECCB2025

Today marks the start of the #RegSys @iscb-regsys.bsky.social track at ##ISMBECCB2025! Very much looking forward to listening to the exciting science that will be presented.

Join us in room 11BC today and tomorrow.

The #RegSys @iscb-regsys.bsky.social track is gonna be outstanding again this year with a great selection of talks and keynotes @verapancaldi.bsky.social, Mafalda Dias, Roser Vento-Tormo, and @lucapinello.bsky.social !
