The #OpenScience journal from BGI & OUP publishing articles using/generating large datasets. And linked to @Giga_DB #opendata hosting/analysis repository
Now in the #BOSC2025 Analytic tools and pipelines track, Jose Espinosa-Carrasco presenting on @nextflowio and associated nf-core community and coding guidelines #ISMBECCB2025

A new tool designed to select sparse compositional #microbiome predictors and predict continuous environmental factors CODARFE: Unlocking the prediction of continuous environmental variables based on microbiome doi.org/10.1093/gigasc…

Final closing #ISMBECCB2025 keynote from Fabian Theis. Nice to have the meeting bookended by opening and closing talks from people that have published in GigaScience (see our MetaMap paper academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar…)

We made it to the bitter end of #ISMBECCB2025, the closing plenary session starting with a chat with a giant video screen of David Baker calling in from the US

Interesting data from @serghei_mangul on the delays in sharing data in preprints versus their associated papers in the #CAMDA2025 track of #ISMBECCB2025. Looks at GEO accessions and their associated release dates

Today #BOSC2025 and #BOKR (formerly Bioontologies) COSI’s, Chris Mungall is doing the keynote on Open KBs in the age of generative AI #ISMBECCB2025

The #ISMBECCB2025 poster sessions are overwhelming, but was nice to see a friendly face, Gavin Farrell presenting the DOME Registry that we recently published doi.org/10.1093/gigasc… #ISMB2025

Kristi Holmes in the NIH track giving on an update on the @ZENODO_ORG and the modular #opensource InvenioRDM infrastructure underlying it. Slides here zenodo.org/records/162718… #ISMBECCB2025

In the #ISMBECCB2025 NIH track Nick Weber is talking about their usage of AI, LLMs on top of their massive computational infrastructure (395+ PBs and counting)

Michael Markie from eLife now explaining their Peer Review Curate Model #ISMBECCB2025 #ISMB2025

Like us, Michael is seeing a huge rise in Machine Learning paper (see our talk on ML standards youtube.com/watch?v=EQM0GV…). Very concerned about data leakage. Mustn’t have the same protein in the training and testing (some journals have holdback sets). #ISMBECCB2025 #ISMB2025

Michael Sternberg (IC and Editor for JMB and NAR) talking about special issues and how Editors decide on accepting papers on highly similar topics. #ISMBECCB2025 #ISMB2025
