🦫 We are excited to announce the completion of an annotated reference assembly for the North American beaver, Castor canadensis! Ryan Langlois and his lab at the University of Minnesota will use the genome to study mechanisms of virus susceptibility and resistance. 🦠 (1/3)

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

Up until June 2 (Monday) you can apply for scholarship to attend GBCC2025 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. This is the Bioconductor / Galaxy joint conference at the end of June. You should submit a poster abstract to apply for scholarship. Scholarship details below.

The image features a vibrant and engaging graphic promoting the FAIRyMAGs Hybrid Hackathon 2025. At the top, the title 'FAIRyMAGs Hybrid Hackathon 2025: Optimising Metagenomics Assembled Genomes building' is prominently displayed, accompanied by a rocket icon. Below the title, the event dates 'October 06-10th, 2025' are highlighted with a flag icon. In the center, there are illustrations of three individuals collaborating on a project. One person is standing and pointing at a large screen displaying a graph, another person is sitting on a desk with a coffee mug, and the third person is sitting on the desk with a laptop. The background is minimalistic, focusing attention on the collaborative scene. At the bottom, logos of the supporting organizations are displayed: de.NBI (German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure), IFB (Institut Français de Bioinformatique), and ELIXIR.
