@elixir-europe.orgReposted by @ebi.embl.org๐ฃ A new whitepaper sets out a vision for the Federated European Genome-phenome Archive (Federated EGA or #FEGA) and its role in the rapidly developing European and global ecosystem ๐ for human #genomic and #healthdata.

@ebi.embl.orgWe often get asked what biocurators do so we quizzed our colleague Emily Bowler-Barnett about her role in the UniProt team. We also explored why biocuration is critical to open science, how AI is changing the field & how Emily's dog got her name ๐

@ebi.embl.orgIs the world prepared for a future pandemic?
AI-predicted protein complex structures for 2,800 viruses known to infect humans are now openly available in the #AlphaFold Database, which could improve how we respond to emerging infectious disease outbreaks.

@embl.orgReposted by @ebi.embl.orgHuman-made chemicals are all around us.๐ Most are likely harmless, while others can seriously harm our health.
EMBL-EBI Research Group Leader Jess Ewald @ewaldlab.org shares how her team uses AI to find out how chemicals in the environment could lead to human diseases.

As AI transforms biology, EMBL-EBI is building the infrastructure to ensure models are as rigorous as the data behind them.
Whatโs your biggest challenge when validating AI models?
@europepmc.orgReposted by @ebi.embl.orgWho funds UK health research? Where? And how is investment changing?
MRC and Europe PMC are building a dashboard to make UK health research funding data easier to find, compare and reuse.

Deadline: 27 September.
@ebi.embl.orgCancer research will shift from tracking how tumors grew to predicting how they will evolve in the future.
Here is how our Research Group Leader @timcoorens.bsky.social sees the field evolving over the next 25 years.
@ensembl.orgReposted by @ebi.embl.orgAlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) scores, developed by Google DeepMind, predict how likely variants across the whole human genome are to impact gene regulation. AVI scores are available in the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor to enable easy access into variant analysis workflows.
@ebi.embl.orgIs there a โrightโ age to start a PhD? Our PhD fellow Anna Foix doesn't think so. Anna pivoted from software to academia. Once worried that her computer science background wouldnโt fit a life in research, she has since realised itโs a huge asset, as AI becomes more central to biology.
@embl.orgReposted by @ebi.embl.orgRecruitment for the EMBL International PhD Programme is officially open! ๐ฃ
At EMBL, we train young scientists to become skilled and creative future leaders in academia, industry and other sectors. Start your career in the life sciences with us!
