GA4GH Connect April 2024 in Ascona
Spring 2024 GA4GH Connect working meeting co-organized by our group
We're proud to host the next Spring GA4GH Connect meeting in April 2024 at the
Congressi Stefano Franscini on the Monte Verità in Ascona. This will provide an
excellent opportunity for Swiss genomics and bioinformatics to, well, connect with
the international "genomics and health" community and projects.

Participating at #BioHackEU23 in Barcelona with a CNV reference resource project
With other members of the hCNV community some of us will participate at this year's
Biohackathon Europe event. The main project will address the creation of the template
for a "beaconized" public resource for reference (i.e. not disease associated)
copy number variation data, including the necessary tooling for the import from
e.g. VCF or BED file variants into Beacon backends (such as our bycon environment).
Swiss-Korean Life Science Symposium
The 10th Swiss-Korean Life Science Symposium in Seoul
As representative of the Swiss delegation and particularly of the University of Zurich
UZH Michael will be presenter and panel discussion participant at the
10th Swiss-Korean Life Science Symposium in Seoul, together with members of the Swiss
and Korean life sciences and personalized health academic and industrial communities.
Progenetix as SIB and ELIXIR Resource
Recognizing the Progenetix platform as Swiss contribution to the European bioinformatics resources ecosystem
The Progenetix resource has finally been recognized as an official contribution to the ELIXIR European bioinformatics informatics ecosystem. Besides Expasy Progenetix now is linked through ELIXIR's resource page. Or just go directly to progenetix.org (and its daughter project cancercelllines.org).
ZHAW Visitors for Cancercelllines Hackathon
Implementing INODE-driven literature collections
Fore some months our group has worked with members of Kurt Stockinger's team from the ZHAW on a cancer cell lines use case for the INODE project. In the last 2 days we had a site visit for a first implementation of the use case specific system on cancercelllines.org. More information to follow - and thanks to Ellery & Dimitris for the great work!
