Get your calendars, because the new 2027 EMBL Annual Poster has arrived: s.embl.org/2027-poster Whether you'd like to enhance your skills in a practical course or engage with the latest research at one of our conferences, we've got you covered. See you at EMBL in 2027! 🙌 #LifeSciences #EMBL

📣 We're recruiting for the EMBL-EBI-Sanger Postdoctoral (ESPOD) programme! ESPOD builds on the collaborative relationship between EMBL-EBI and the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social, offering projects that combine wet and dry-lab experience. Learn more & apply: www.ebi.ac.uk/research/pos...

Five years ago, the #AlphaFold Database, a collaboration with Google DeepMind, made predicted protein structures free for everyone to use. Today, the database contains over 260 million structure predictions and is used by more than 3.5 million researchers in 190 countries around the world.

Six months after joining EMBL-EBI, Cath Brooksbank accidentally deleted the Gene Ontology knowledgebase – then reinstated it at 6 p.m. on a Friday. Her willingness to step into the unfamiliar and own it defines Cath’s career. Her lessons on trust and training below 👇 www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/p...

Cath Brooksbank: What I’ve learned

What if you could predict your chance of developing a disease years before symptoms appear? An AI model can estimate long-term disease risk for more than 1,000 medical conditions and could help inform how a person's health changes over time. #EMBL_AI

The annual DECIPHER user survey is now available ! Please, help us to improve DECIPHER by taking 5 minutes to answer. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... This is a new survey so don’t hesitate to answer it even if you had completed it last year.

Out now in Nature Metabolism! 🖥️🧬 An Open Targets project has identified a set of plasma proteins that could be used to diagnose and monitor patients with Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) www.nature.com/articles/s42...

A data-driven framework reconstructs the molecular continuum of human MASLD progression - Nature Metabolism

A trajectory-based molecular framework reveals coordinated temporal shifts in metabolic, inflammatory and fibrogenic mechanisms across the human MASLD spectrum.

Are you going to #ISMB2026? 🧬🌎 Don’t miss your chance to find out about our latest training, services, research highlights and more at this year’s ISMB conference in Washington D.C. from 12-16 July.

What happens when you take a Nobel Prize-winning AI and make its predictions free for everyone to use? A new independent report shows that papers using the AlphaFold Database span a wider range of fields than those using the algorithm alone. s.embl.org/EMBL-EBI-202...

DECIPHER v11.39 is now available, featuring N=1 variant assessments and UKCGG clinical guidelines. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/u... @deciphergenomics.bsky.social

@deciphergenomics.bsky.social · 2mo ago

N=1 assessed variant information is now displayed on N=1 tabs. These are variants which have been assessed for their eligibility for a therapeutic intervention by the @n1collaborative.bsky.social #TreatmentForAll

It was an honour to welcome the First Lady of Lithuania, Diana Nausėdienė, and H.E. Ambassador Asta Radikaitė to EMBL-EBI, together with colleagues from the Office of the President of the Republic of Lithuania, the Embassy of Lithuania in the UK and representatives of Lithuanian universities. 🇱🇹

Ensembl 116 + Ensembl Genomes 63 are out! Explore new pig, cattle, and oat genomes, updated alignments and new VEP plugins It’s a milestone! Our last on the current platform. New data from here on is via beta.ensembl.org More info on our blog: zurl.co/MrJ2A

From the Pacific to our resources⛵ 💾 We're working with @taraoceans-science.bsky.social to understand why some reefs thrive while others struggle. By hosting the expedition's eDNA and genomic data, we’re helping scientists unlock the secrets of climate resilience. www.embl.org/news/science...

The human proteome has millions of missense variants, and only around 2% have clinical annotation. ProtVar now combines curated data and AI with advanced filtering to interpret human missense variants with unprecedented flexibility. Find out more: www.embl.org/news/announc...

“Open Targets has had the single biggest impact in integrating the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social and @ebi.embl.org science, above and beyond any other initiative I’ve seen in that time." 🤝

71% That's how many survey respondents say EMBL-EBI enables work that would otherwise be impossible or take much more time and effort. For the community, by the community. From our teams to yours, thank you for championing open data! s.embl.org/EMBL-EBI-202...

We told you it wouldn’t be a long wait. 👀 Even more predicted protein structures have been added to the #AlphaFold Database. This time, the database has expanded to include heterodimers – protein complexes made up of two different proteins. alphafold.ebi.ac.uk
