Alex presented on behalf of the Center for Early Pregnancy and Reproductive Health (CEPRE) team at the 2nd CERES meeting – a great opportunity to share ideas and strengthen collaborations!🤝
Thanks to the organizers and all CERES partners from Hamburg (SRHOO), Ulm (FePro-​Ulm), and Leipzig (LE-REP)!

Thanks for an inspiring and fruitful @nfdi4microbiota.bsky.social Annual Conference last week 💛
Our team of the #VirJenDB (Noriko, Sharam, Kilian) contributed with a poster💬 and a workshop with demo🤝 about this comprehensive virus sequence database 🦠 🧬 💻 #FAIRdata #metadata #viromics
➡️ virjendb.org

ℹ️ This Wednesday at #DGHM2025 in Jena, Noriko gave a workshop on "Navigating #microbiomes through the lens of NFDI4Microbiota Services"! 🦠💪 #VirJenDB
Glad to have contributed to this year’s program - it was a great opportunity to share insights and exchange with the community!

Daria, Maria, Tom, and Kilian had a great time at the #GCB2025 in Düsseldorf this week, gaining many valuable insights to follow up 💪 and enjoying fruitful discussions about their posters

👏Alex reported about our work in the Center for Early Pregnancy and Reproductive Health (CEPRE) at the @leibnizfli.bsky.social Seminar on Tuesday - "RNA sequencing and metagenomics for the analysis of patient-derived materials" 🧬 🩺
👉 www.uniklinikum-jena.de/cepre/en/SP+...

📢 Part of our group will go to @gcb-bioinformatics.bsky.social next week! Join us at our posters to learn & discuss about:
🧬methylation biomarker detection in cancer research (P032)
🔧the tool sugar (P036) and it's application for identifying micro #synteny (P073)
🦠our virus database #VirJenDB (P109)

Our group #retreat was full of discussions, collaboration, inspiration, and laughter (plus plenty of snacks and board games) 👩‍💻🗣️👏🍪🎲
A great 4 days with the team! #sciencelife #teamwork #bioinformatics

Another busy bee 🐝 from the Marz group:
Nori presented the #VirJenDB at #CORDi 2025 (Conference on Research Data Infrastructure) last week in Aachen! 👏🖥️

Maria had a great time at the Microbes & RNA 2025 Meeting in #Strasbourg where she presented her #poster about #SweetSynteny, a #nextflow pipeline for nonambiguous identification of #ncRNA paralogues 👏🦠🧬📊 #MicrobialRNAs #conference

🎉Congratulations to our group member Alexander Eberhardt for the successful defense of his dissertation and throwing the flower wreath onto Hanfrieds sword🎓💪
He studied gene regulation mechanisms in cancer cells in the Bierhoff group at @leibnizfli.bsky.social and gave great insights into his work🧬⚕️

We had the pleasure of hosting Anne Pohlmann from the Lab for Biocuration of the FLI last week. She shared insights from huge (open) surveillance datasets of influenza virus outbreaks. One being that these are very hard to predict! Thank you Anne!

Big thanks to our guest visitor Prof Horacio Guzman, head of the Biophysics & Intelligent Matter Lab at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid.
Great to meet you last week and hear about the work happening in your lab! #rnaproteininteractions #rna3dstructure #virus #capsids
@gocompmodeling.bsky.social

Congrats to our #PhD student Sandra! She shared her discovery of conserved #RNA #secondarystructure features in the #Pestivirus family using a full genome alignment method at the #GfV2025 with an informative #poster

☀️ Greetings from #Hamburg! Smiles from our #NFDI4Microbiota virus database team's booth at the #GfV2025.
Curious?
✅️ Check out the beta version of the #database for and by #virus researchers at virjendb.org!
