#SIB Innovative Resource Award: Open Genome Browser by Thomas Roder, which allows to organize and visualize hundreds of bacterial genomes https://opengenomebrowser.bioinformatics.unibe.ch #bioinformatics #bc2basel

#SIB Early Career Award very very deserved to Maria Brbic https://people.epfl.ch/maria.brbic, who is an outstanding #SingleCell #machinelearning scientist with a great commitment to equality and inclusivity in science and to #OpenSource #BC2basel #EDI

👏 #SIB PhD paper award goes to Viktor Petukhov for Cell segmentation in imaging-based spatial transcriptomics, with open code at https://github.com/kharchenkolab/Baysor https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-021-01044-w #BC2basel

Best part of #BC2basel: the #SIB bioinformatics awards, highlighting PhD paper, Early career, and Innovative resource https://www.sib.swiss/bioinformatics-awards #bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology

Marius Lange #BC2basel: increasing complexity of #SingleCell data leads to problems of temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal mapping. The solution proposed is optimal transport applications, implemented in Moscot:

Excellent conclusions of Jean Fan #BC2basel on #machinelearning applied to #scRNAseq #SpatialTranscriptomics

Impressive work by Jean Fan's lab #BC2basel: aligning different spatial transcriptomics results, not only from different experiments but different protocols, e.g. MERFISH - Visium. Combining with #scRNAseq clustering and her lab's spot deconvolution allows to compare directly gene expression between these different experiments, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.11.534630v2.abstract #SpatialTranscriptomics

@zkutalik Torsten Schwede #SIB @unibasel presents himself as one of the few "dinosaurs" who remembers first #BC2basel conference 20 years ago. First conference had theme "LIfe science meets IT", moved towards more biology over the years. #ECCB2012 was done as a #BC2basel, first conference with an app and excellent catering.
I have very fond memories of Torsten's outstanding organisation of conferences over the years.
