🇩🇪💻 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

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!! 👏🏼👇🏼
