🎉 scverse conference 2025 Registration & Call for Abstracts NOW OPEN! 🎉 We're excited to announce that registration and the call for abstracts are officially open for the scverse Conference 2025! Details in thread! 🧵 1/3

Preprint alert 🚨 Do you use chatbots in your work or even build MCP servers and agentic systems yourself? Or would you like to find a way to use biomedical tools using natural language? Then check out biocontext.ai, now out on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Working on this project has been a great privilege, thanks to the many contributions from all team members, including members from the @scverse.bsky.social and BioCypher communities.

If you are interested in building out the biomedical MCP ecosystem, we invite you to share your work through BioContextAI and to connect via GitHub (github.com/biocontext-ai) or through the @scverse.bsky.social Zulip (scverse.zulipchat.com), were you can find us in the "[wg] biocontext-ai" channel.

🔗 Ecosystem CORNETO is powering LIANA+ (liana-py.readthedocs.io), linking cell–cell communication events to intracellular signaling (@scverse.bsky.social). It’s also at the core of NetworkCommons (networkcommons.readthedocs.io), our community-driven platform for network methods.

We will have our next community meeting on Tuesday, 2025-07-08 at 18:00 CEST! Ilan will be speaking about the new upcoming anndata release. (Zoom registration link and more information in thread!)
