Now we have what I call the big three biomes represented in @mgnifydb.bsky.social, soil, marine and human. We are constantly looking for MAGs to add to our catalogues. Talk to @tgurbich.bsky.social if you have data you want to contribute.

Attended a meeting on AI and biological research at the Alan Turing Institute, convened by the UK Cabinet Office. Interesting discussions on the benefits, risks and challenges. A big challenge for @ebi.embl.org will be delivering data slices, moving it to HPCs and then on to the GPUs efficiently.

Celebrating 25 years of @ensembl.bsky.social - the first announcement from @ewanbirney.bsky.social, milestone 1 was ensembl.org - thanks to all have worked on the resource, and the scientists who use it. Many exciting developments to present pangenomes, capture biodiversity and scale for the future
