  1. To our government officials: Please invest our tax money in science, not in stupid wars.

    Let me explain... while Python is keeping busy my laptop doing number crunching, I thought I'd share with you part of process of updating GNU Health HIS genomic packages to the latest genes, symbols, human natural variants and their phenotypes / diseases for 2026. Quite a lot of work, for the betterment of the society, ad honorem.

    So again to all in @EUCommission, instead of putting millions of euros in weapons and in the macabre business of war, invest in science, education and healthcare. Thank you.

  2. Love how consensus.rubalkhali.science/ links ecological data to the molecular world of #UniProt with some smarts and the power of federated #SPARQL

  3. @harmonia_amanda the vast majority of #SPARQL experts are autodidact! Heck I learn more from the #uniprot sparql endpoint users with their user cases than from the language spec. The joy of seeing smart scientist play with the data is amazing

  4. #UniProt The largest open+free #knowledgegraph in the life sciences. I will be talking about the why and the use cases at #semantics2025 5th of September 2025. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

  9. Interesting in his #ISMBECCB2025 keynote that Amos Bairoch described as the worst decision of his career: caving to USA pressure to switch from funding model of free to academics & non-profits to use #SwissProt / #UniProt (with no login barrier), but paid access to Industry - to a free-to-all model funded by an NIH grant.

    [I suspect industry lobbying at NIH there. One issue with grants is they are typically fixed term. Also, this would have been a very strong precedent for other DBs to follow - would have been more sustainable ecosystem?]

  10. #uniprot just hides the controls.. so you can't even try to full screen. but you can fortunately link out the #ebi #alphafold site where (ctd..)

  11. 🧬 How do AlphaFold2 and ESMFold stack up when it comes to functional annotation?

  12. In 2023, ISB members voted to award Sandra Orchard the Exceptional Contribution to Biocuration award (biocuration.org/pascale-gaudet).

    Today at #biocuration2025 in Kansas City, she's presenting her award talk "How will the role of the Biocurator change in this world of Artificial Intelligence and Machine-Learning?" with a focus on current work at UniProt

  13. At @swat4hcls there was a presentation by @albdrg that I really like: youtube.com/watch?v=F4Nl-nmLZA This uses #SPARQL to combine data in a privacy aware #beacons-api and combine it with public #knowledgegraph like #uniprot by @SIB and #wikidata @wikidata to reduce cost of the data integration challenge required to answer clinical question.

  14. Very honored by the kind acknowledgements in academic.oup.com/nar/advance-a by @ju I am very existed about doing cross database queries between #uniprot #rhea and media data in #bacdive @dsmz

  15. I am looking for an #ontology #schema that I can use to mark up where #sparql example is known to work. e.g. a query that works for #uniprot and #bgee or #omabrowser. Please share for reach.

  16. Applications session: Talk

    3. Elisabeth Coudert talks about Annotation of biologically relevant ligands - such as substrates of enzymes, cofactors, activators, inhibitors as well as their binding site - in UniProt using ChEBI

  17. For many years I've observed the following in parallel:

    1. General confusion (and in some cases disdain) about the notion of a #SemanticWeb

    2. Steadfast effort by a community to keep the vision going, stealthily, as exemplified by the #LODCloud (#DBpedia,, #Wikidata, #Uniprot etc..) and Schema.org (#SchemaOrg)

    3. #DataSilos and all the impedance they inflict on the agility of individuals and enterprises alike on the rise i.e., #DataAccess and #DataFlow are still challenging, unnecessarily.
