🇩🇪💻 ERGA was present at the @elixir-europe.org #BioHackEU25 in Berlin last week! Our Annotation & Data Analysis Committees worked on two projects: - Benchmarking BUSCO genes for #phylogenomics - Streamlining #FAIR metadata for genome annotations #ERGA #community #bioinformatics #genomics

🏙️ Last week, #ERGA joined the @vertebrategenomes.bsky.social #VGP Conference in NYC, a great chance to connect with @ebpgenome.bsky.social projects and share progress on #FAIR genome assemblies & reporting under @biogeneurope.bsky.social www.erga-biodiversity.eu/post/erga-me... #genomes #conference

Diego @diegomics.bsky.social visited us years ago to learn Hi-C to produce the best possible genome assembly of the impressive Condor of the Andes (Argentina). They managed!! 👏🏼👇🏼 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The 3rd episode of #GenomicConnections, the new #sciencepodcast, is now live! 💥 This time, it’s about ‘DNA #Metadata and FAIR Play’. Go to 🔗: biodiversitygenomics.eu/2025/06/19/g... ergabiodiv.bsky.social iboleurope.bsky.social #sequencing #biodiversity #BGE @ebi.embl.org @enasequence.bsky.social

Listen to the latest episode of #GenomicConnections featuring Joana Pauperio, Biodiversity Curator at @enasequence.bsky.social She joins @ergabiodiv.bsky.social to discuss the power of metadata and how it supports #FAIR data in biodiversity genomics. @biogeneurope.bsky.social

Why is metadata so critical for biodiversity genomics research, and how does it help ensure that data are FAIR? In the third episode of Genomic Connections, we talk about all things metadata with Joana Castro Pauperio from @ebi.embl.org @enasequence.bsky.social: iboleurope.org/genomic-conn...

🎧 What is metadata and how does it help make research outputs #FAIR? Find out in the latest #GenomicConnections episode: DNA Metadata & FAIR Play with Joana Pauperio from @ebi.embl.org 🎙️ www.erga-biodiversity.eu/post/genomic... @enasequence.bsky.social #SciencePodcast #Metadata #podcast

#ERGAReads | Scientific #data analysis should be scalable, transparent, and shareable - yet computational #workflows are often fragmented and hard to find. #WorkflowHub tackles this with a unified registry that promotes reproducibility, and #FAIRdata: 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
