Got questions about #TAIR data, workflows, or functionality? Is there a research question you’re struggling to answer? A feature we don’t currently offer? Join us for TAIR office hours Feb 17! 🧪 Book a one-on-one session with a curator: bit.ly/3NYRmn6 #plantscience #plantbiology #Arabidopsis

MorphoBank has been honored by a @sortee.bsky.social Commendation Award for 2025! We are so grateful to the committee, our institutional members, and the NSF for their support!

Why do researchers rely on #TAIR? Quality and convenience. "The ability to...immediately see a curated summary of its function, links to the primary literature, mutant phenotypes, stock center information, & expression data is invaluable," writes Yasin Kaya of the @mpipz.bsky.social

What's new at TAIR? Get the latest in a new article, published in the journal Genetics: "Recent major changes to TAIR: updates to the database, website, and Arabidopsis genome" 🧪 bit.ly/4q86aNG @genetics-gsa.bsky.social @academic.oup.com #TAIR #plantbiology #plantscience #genetics #genomics

Meet Yasin Kaya of Max Planck, one of the volunteer researchers behind #TAIR12 We are so grateful to everyone who contributed to this new annotation, soon to be published on the ENA! 🧪 #plantbiology #plantscience #TAIR #Arabidopsis @ysnky.bsky.social @mpipz.bsky.social bit.ly/4bJBBKt

How are we updating the TAIR platform for increased accessibility and usability? Here are a few examples... Read more: phoenixbioinfo.org/tair-complet...

At #PAG33 with the @agbiodata.bsky.social group. @micropub7n.bsky.social is with us too!

For Phoenix — as for the librarians who subscribe to TAIR — accessibility is important to our mission. We’re working to build an ecosystem of thriving and diverse digital research resources that are tailored to researcher needs. Modern accessibility standards are a key part of that work.

#TAIR is a key reference tool #plantscience. That's why nearly 100 volunteers chose to contribute to the soon-to-be-released reannotation of the #Arabidopsis genome. 🧪 Meet one of those volunteers: Emmanuel Boutet: bit.ly/4p6FagQ #plantbiology #genomics #TAIR12 #plantbiology #scisky

Meet the volunteer researchers behind #TAIR12... beginning with Emmanuel Boutet of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. Please join us in expressing gratitude to everyone who contributed to this new annotation. #plantbiology #plantscience #TAIR #Arabidopsis bit.ly/4p6FagQ

It's our birthday! Twenty-five years ago, in December 2000, the Arabidopsis thaliana genome was published and #TAIR was born. Now, we're preparing for the release of #TAIR12 early in the new year. What a long way we've come! bit.ly/3KDJciT #plantbiology #plantscience #genomics #Arabidopsis

We are thrilled to announce three new members of the Phoenix Bioinformatics Board of Directors: Mathew Lau, Christine Orr, and Kevin Smith! Welcome, and thank you for your service! bit.ly/3XYfbNx

Which Arabidopsis gene discoveries have informed crop trait improvements? Here are just a few... Are you aware of others? 🧪 #plantbiology #plantscience #scisky #cropscience

Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who provided feedback before, during, and after MorphoBank's recent re-platforming effort. As a community-led platform, we wouldn't exist without you! Read more: phoenixbioinfo.org/presenting-t... #ecology #evolutionarybiology #biology #archaeology

MorphoBank is an invaluable #openaccess resource for #phylogentetics researchers. And now, it's better than ever, with new site architecture, faster, more efficient processing, and a more intuitive interface. 🧪 bit.ly/3WImTLj #biology #evolutionarybiology #treeoflife #paleontology #scisky

Wait… did you say there’s a new MorphoBank? That’s right. MorphoBank is now faster, cleaner, more scaleable, and more sustainable. Learn more on our blog phoenixbioinfo.org/presenting-t... 🧪 #biology #evolutionarybiology #phylogenetics #treeoflife #systematics #cladistics #paleontology

Two years ago we undertook a volunteer-driven effort to reannotate the #Arabidopsis thaliana genome. Over 70 researchers in labs all over the world contributed. Read our latest status update 🧪➡️ phoenixbioinfo.org/get-ready-ta... #TAIR12 #plantbiology #plantscience #scisky

Happy #OAweek! This week the research and #scholcomm communities celebrate #OpenAccess, and consider the question of "Who owns our knowledge?" For MorphoBank the answer is simple: creators do. We encourage maximally open CC0 licensing, and support a range of other Creative Commons options.

An interesting study of life science database sustainability using MorphoBank as one of the case examples 🧪 #openscience #openaccess #databases #opendata
