Know metagenomics and could spare 2 mins? I'm applying for funding to build a visual repository for metagenomic classification data (not sequence data). To support the application, I have a short 2 minute survey and it would be a big help if you could fill it in: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Metagenomic classification survey
Background: We're seeking the views of researchers on the possibility of a repository for metagenomic classification data, which we're hoping to build. The rationale is that people are familiar with t...

It was a really nice week working on building MiCoReCa, a catalogue of resources (tools, workflows, etc) for microbiome research, and more importantly networking with the large @elixir-europe.org community. Thank you all! See next year!
🚀👩‍💻🧑‍💻 End of this week of #BioHackEU25, organised by @elixir-europe.org , to advance all projects in synergy! Thank you to the IFB/ELIXIR-FR team (on-site and remotely), and to our colleagues at @genouest.bsky.social 👏
