"Evolving FAIR Image Analysis in Galaxy for Cross-domain and AI-ready Applications" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/tsxby_v1

"The project addressed three major challenges:1. Improving semantic annotation for image analysis resources.2. Introducing content-based reproducibility validation mechanisms.3. Streamlining tools and training materials for accessible bioimage analysis.To achieve these goals, the project involved participants with heterogeneous backgroundsfrom different institutions, including ELIXIR, Euro-BioImaging, and the ISCC Foundation,joining both on-site and online." http://index.biohackrxiv.org/2026/03/31/tsxby.html

"Tomorrow, SWAT4HCLS 2026 will start, again in Amsterdam. The first SWAT4LS I attended was also in Amsterdam, and the second meeting in Amsterdam I was also there. And I was in Cambridge (see this post), Antwerp (no post), and at least to one of the two Leiden meetings (also no posts, it seems)."

"Tools to develop constraint-based models in R: adapting existing toolboxes" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/ey4c5_v1

"In this project, we proposed the (re)development of an R based framework for developing and simulating constraint-based models. We proposed to expand the Sybil library for model simulation with the functionalities for model reconstruction and analysis available in the widely used RAVEN toolbox in Matlab." https://index.biohackrxiv.org/2026/03/13/ey4c5.html

"Bidirectional bridge: GitHub ⇄ bio.tools" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/8ktd6_v1

"Here, we describe the tooling for a bidirectional bridge between the software developmentplatform GitHub and the ELIXIR bio.tools registry of life sciences software tools and dataresources. The developed bridge maps and improves metadata records across these twoplatforms, thereby benefiting both and helping make research software more FAIR: findable,accessible, interoperable and reusable" https://osf.io/preprints/biohackrxiv/8ktd6_v1

"BioHackEU25 report: METRICS - Monitoring of KeyPerformance Indicators for ELIXIR Services" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/2jgk4_v1

"As part of the BioHackathon Europe 2025, we report on the activities of the METRICS project, which addresses the need for consistent and transparent evaluation of services across ELIXIR and related initiatives using KPIs. The project brings together experts from multiple ELIXIR Nodes and scientific domains to identify, harmonise, and semantically model KPIs that reflect service quality, usage, sustainability, and impact."

sounds like a good spot for a #biohackathon too :)

"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
