"Nonetheless, the platform’s continued evolution faces several open challenges: improving core performance on heterogeneous high-performance-computing (HPC) resources, extending the plugin architecture for domain-specific extensions, and lowering the entry barrier for novice users while preserving full reproducibility. Here we report on the Snakemake Hackathon 2026, convened in Munich, Germany (9–13 March 2026) with more than 40 participants representing academia, industry, and national-level research infrastructure." https://index.biohackrxiv.org/2026/04/27/h6zqj.html

"Improving package annotation in metabolomics andproteomics via robust, ontology-driven LLM integration" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/x5v6b_v1

"At BioHackathon Europe 2025, our team explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) can assist this process through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an emerging open standard that specifies how LLMs call external functions, using metabolomics as a domain use case. We developed an MCP-based workflow that grounds tool descriptions in the EDAM ontology (Ison et al., 2013) (Black et al., 2022), improving reproducibility and semantic precision." https://osf.io/preprints/biohackrxiv/x5v6b_v1

"Minimal information standardization of phenomic experimental data in animals" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/ncrkm_v1

"The current landscape of animal phenomics is characterized by a substantial lack of stan-dardization, hindering data reuse, reproducibility, and interoperability across studies, all ofwhich are particularly important in light of the 3Rs principles for animal experiments (replace, reduce, refine) (Hubrecht & Carter, 2019). Within ELIXIR, the Domestic Animals Genome andPhenome Focus Group (since December 2025 an ELIXIR community) emerged to establishstandardized practices that enhance the quality and interoperability of animal research data" http://index.biohackrxiv.org/2026/04/10/ncrkm.html

"We demonstrated contentfederationvia themTeSS-Xplatform, enabling cross-instanceexchange and preparing for future integration with the EOSC federation. To enhance interop-erability, we indexed relevant ontologies and curated semanticcrosswalksbetween establishedmetadata models, specificallyMoDALIAandSchema.org/Bioschemas."

"QPX: Pathway analysis environment" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/m37f2_v1

"Building on our work at DBCLS BioHackathon 2023 (BH23), where we introduced QPX and promoted pathway modeling with WikiPathways (Pico et al., 2008) using PathVisio (Kutmon etal., 2015), we now focused on creating new pathway diagrams for diverse species and registering them in WikiPathways with functional annotations. In parallel, we deployed WikiPathways node data into Elasticsearch to enable fast and flexible search and integration of pathway information." https://osf.io/m37f2_v1

"Mining the potential of knowledge graphs for metadata on training" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/gv2ac_v1

"A dedicated pipeline parses RDF/Turtle dumps, deduplicates entries, and builds rich indexes (keyword, provider, location, date, topic) that power a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The MCP offers live and offline search tools—including keyword, provider, location, date, topic, and SPARQL queries" https://index.biohackrxiv.org/2025/11/29/gv2ac.html

"Translating and Formalizing the MIRAGE Guidelines to a Prototype MIRAGE Ontology and DCAT3 Extension Vocabulary for Glycomics Data Management" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/wj8bz_v1

"We present the first comprehensive semantic formalization of MIRAGE guidelines through an integrated RDF ontology framework comprising the MIRAGE Ontology and MIRAGE-DCAT3 vocabulary. The MIRAGE Ontology models glycan structures, biological specimens, analytical instruments, and experimental processes with formal OWL semantics and SHACL validation constraints." https://index.biohackrxiv.org//2025/09/30/wj8bz.html

#biohackrxiv #preprint #biohackathon

the first DBCLS BioHackathon 2024 preprints are appearing online! I saw some social media coverage and the projects sounded awesome. And now I can start reading up on the details of the work done.

I also spotted the first preprint from the meeting with CiTO annotation (cito:citesAsDataSource)! Thanks, Julie Koblitz! https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/qxpn8
