Another beautiful winning #Cytoscape #NetBio visualization by Jong Lim with a special and poetic description!

"...Formed in a circular format to resemble a human eye with tears, the network represents the genetic uphill battle some face from the moment they are born."

☕️ The #NetBio COSI team will be around during the 4PM coffee break in Room 1B!

Come chat about the COSI, getting involved, or anything else. We’ve got open roles (incl. one Abstract Chair position) for next year. Let’s connect if you are interested! #ISMBECCB2025

🔊 Next in #NetBio at #ISMBECCB2025
Dewei Hu presents:
SPACE: STRING proteins as complementary embeddings

Cross-species network embeddings meet protein function prediction, leveraging STRING across 1,300+ eukaryotes. A powerful complement to sequence embeddings!
