📣 We are excited to announce that Cellosaurus, a key resource in the portfolio of open software and databases at SIB, is now on LinkedIn! 👉 Make sure to follow the page to stay updated on the latest releases, news, and events. Don’t miss out—stay tuned for more updates!
Introducing the LinkedIn Cellosaurus page We have been posting news of developments concerning the Cellosaurus on Twitter/X for over 8 years and more recently we also started a Mastodon feed. Unfortunately both platforms are far from being optimal with X becoming the playground for conspiracy lovers and extremists and Mastodon a bit too fragmented and not very user friendly. Thus we are starting this LinkedIn page hoping that it will be useful to anyone using cell lines in their research and thus the Cellosaurus 😉 By the way, the illustration for this post was an attempt of using OpenArt.ai with the prompt "A scientist is looking at a computer and looks happy about what he sees on the screen. In the background there is a poster with an image of cells and the text Cellosaurus". As you can see, AI is still not good at understanding how to add a precise text in a generated image, but it did somehow made the connection between the Cellosaurus and its original dinosaur-like "logo".

SIB Training Course 📣 Gene Expression made Useful Easily: Tools and Database of Bgee 👉 31 May 2024 💻 Streamed Taught by Bgee, a gene expression database team (Frederic Bastian and Marc Robinson-Rechavi). This course will present the curated and pre-analysed gene expression data in Bgee. Bgee is a curated database of gene expression in animals, including model species such as human, mouse or drosophila, and others such as livestock, primates, or fishes. Bgee integrates information from single-cell and bulk RNA-seq, microarrays, and in situ hybridization. These data are available through a web interface and an R package. Bgee also includes tools which use these data, such as TopAnat or Expression Comparison, and allows integration with users' own data through another R package. #bioinformatics #training #SIB #Bgee #GeneExpression #RNAseq #R SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics 🚨 Apply here: https://lnkd.in/egDEziMt
