The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics is an internationally recognized non-profit organization, dedicated to biological and biomedical data science.
👋 We stopped publishing on this platform. Given the enthusiasm for Bluesky in the scientific community and beyond, you will now find us there at: bsky.app/profile/sib.swiss
Renewed @SBFI_CH funding for 2025-2028 provides a solid foundation to maintain and develop SIB’s state-of-the-art national research infrastructure. The bulk will be allocated to co-develop our portfolio of leading open #bioinformatics resources. See more👇sib.swiss/news/swiss-confede…
📢 Do not miss the Bioinformatics Day 2025 — Margaret Dayhoff Centenary on Tuesday, 11 March 2025 at the University of Bern.
Among other fascinating panels and talks, there will be a round table about the History and Future of Swiss Bioinformatics with @P_Palagi.
Bioinformaticians of the world, it’s your time to shine! The SIB Bioinformatics Awards remain open for entries until 31 January 2025. These awards promote excellence, diversity and innovation in the field.

🔍 How are SIB databases and tools used?
Researchers use them to make sense of data and tackle societal challenges. Studying human-pet virus transmission by analysing viral tests from pets living with SARS-CoV-2 patients using V-Pipe.

We are excited to share that our new tool VILOCA has been published in NAR G&B: doi.org/10.1093/nargab/lqae1…!
VILOCA is a novel method for mutation calling and local haplotype reconstruction from diverse viral sequencing data, which is also adept for viral surveillance in wastewater.
PhyloSIB is an annual workshop organised by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics with an emphasis on molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative phylogenomics. wp.unil.ch/biology25/satelli…
We hope the ERGA Knowledge Hub flourishes !
It is powered by Glittr.org software (from @SIBTraining) and @erga_biodiv is chaired by @rmwaterhouse, who leads our Environmental Bioinformatics Group.
📢 Save the Date! We will be hosting the 2025 DataSHIELD Conference which will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, from 23–26.09.25.
The programme includes beginner and advanced training workshops, talks, demonstrations, and discussions. Abstract submissions open in early March.
