VIRE: A global data platform to better understand viruses

Researchers have developed VIRE, a database that integrates approximately 1.7 million viral genomes derived from more than 100,000 metagenomes worldwide. Metagenomic data is obtained by comprehensively sequencing all DNA present in an environment. This approach enables the recovery of genomic information from microorganisms and viruses that cannot be cultured in the laboratory.

This year's @bioconductor Biological Data Science Summer School in Brixen, South Tyrol (the 22nd edition!) takes place 24-29 May 2026.

We cover (sc)-RNA-seq and #spatial #omics analysis, underlying (bio)statistical topics, #multiomics, #proteomics and #metabolomics, and also programmatic interaction from #Rstats   with LLMs, all very hands-on using R/Bioconductor tools.

🎄 Türchen 14: Omics 🧬
Gene sind nur der Anfang – Proteine, Stoffwechsel & winzige Moleküle zeigen, was im Körper wirklich passiert. Omics betrachtet das große Zusammenspiel.

Omics: Vom Erbgut zum Blick aufs große Ganze

In Folge O unseres ABC der Genetik geht es um „Omics“ – die Erforschung des Zusammenspiels aller Moleküle im Körper. Gene allein sagen nur, was möglich ist. Omics zeigt, was tatsächlich passiert: wie Proteine, Stoffwechselprodukte und Zellen miteinander arbeiten. Gemeinsam mit Genetik-Expertin Prof. Dr. Julia Schulze-Hentrich klären wir, wie diese Omics-Daten helfen, Krankheiten besser zu verstehen und Therapien individueller zu machen. Wir werfen einen Blick auf moderne Medizin, die digitale Zwillinge nutzt, um die Abläufe im Körper zu simulieren.

Genomes of 24,000 previously unknown microbes revealed by new tools

QUT researchers have recovered the genomes of more than 24,000 previously unknown microbial species—some from entirely new branches of life that likely evolved before plants and animals. The microbes are detailed in two studies published in Nature Biotechnology and Nature Methods.

'Google for DNA' enables rapid full-text searches of vast genetic archives

Rare hereditary diseases can be identified in patients and specific mutations in tumor cells detected—DNA sequencing revolutionized biomedical research decades ago. In recent years, new sequencing methods (next-generation sequencing) in particular have resulted in numerous scientific breakthroughs. In 2020/2021, for example, they enabled the rapid decoding and global monitoring of the SARS-CoV-2 genome.
