Exciting work at the intersection of AI and genomics, have a quick read ⤵️

Plus, beautiful images of skin fibroblasts by April Rose Foster from the @mhaniffa.bsky.social lab.

Our Systema framework for evaluating genetic perturbation response prediction methods is now out in @natbiotech.nature.com ✨

Systema helps to evaluate perturbation response prediction methods by focusing on perturbation-specific effects rather than systematic variation 🎯

Our Scientific Advisory Committee will soon start selecting the new cohort of #ListerFellows - here's what they get up to, how the system works, and a bit of valuable advice, too! lister-institute.org.uk/behind-the-s...

Interested in spatial transcriptomics, interactive visualisation, and AI?

We’re teaming up with @mhaniffa.bsky.social and @juliosaezrod.bsky.social on Project 5 - for someone keen to build open tools that make complex biological data more accessible!

Apply by 30 Sep: www.ebi.ac.uk/research/pos...

A little over two weeks to the deadline! 20 positions, generous startup funding, a great community and fantastic infrastructure. Come join us!

ESPOD, the EMBL-EBI/Sanger postdoctoral fellowship. Applications deadline 30 September. Image credit: Karen Arnott / EMBL-EBI

Recruitment is now open for the EMBL-EBI–Sanger Postdoctoral Programme.

ESPOD builds on the collaborative relationship between EMBL-EBI and the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social, offering projects that combine experimental and computational approaches.

Great career opportunities in Cellular Genomics @sangerinstitute.bsky.social

Big data (human in vivo + in vitro) + AI to derive biological mechanisms at scale.

We are seeking a range of research expertise including spatial omics and perturbation at scale

Congrats Fabian 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

My team @ebi.embl.org is open to hosting #ARISE2 fellows!

We‘re especially interested in projects that improve access to single-cell & spatial transcriptomics data (e.g. browsers, standards), or enhance AI-readiness.

Happy to chat if you are applying!

Do you use Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) genomes for your work or grant applications? If so, can you please fill out this form? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... We are gathering info on how DToL genomes are used. It will help us raise money to continue producing publicly available high-quality genomes.

globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]

Looking forward to visiting @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social on Thurs 20 Feb 👇🏾
