It's only Day 2 of #EMBOCellSort, but we can already tell it's going to be a great course 🙌 Highly engaged participants and speakers, beautiful weather, dedicated organisers, what more could we ask for?

That's a wrap on 'DNA replication and genome maintenance: from basic biology to human health' 🧬🧪 Thank you to our speakers, organisers, and everyone who joined us in Heidelberg and online. Thanks for making it such an engaging one and for sharing your science with the community! #EESReplication

🧬 Join us for the EMBL Conference 'Gene regulation: one molecule at a time': s.embl.org/grg27-01-bl #EMBLSingleMolecule brings together different fields from single-molecule imaging, genomics, theory, and more to reveal the dynamic mechanisms of gene regulation. Learn more and register by 6 April!

Scientific organisers Anja Groth, Helle Ulrich and Johannes Walter and conference organiser Luana Ribeiro welcome you to day 3 of #EESReplication 🧬 Today’s sessions explore replication-coupled DNA repair, replication stress, and the mechanisms that safeguard genome stability.

We've just updated our 2027 EMBL Annual Poster with even more events 🧪 Have a look and tell us which course or conference you're excited to join: s.embl.org/2027-poster @embl.org @ebi.embl.org @embo.org

As genomic data surges, so does the need for centralised, well-curated resources such as @ensembl.org. EMBL-EBI's new Genomics Technology Infrastructure Team Lead, Alexey Sokolov, will take the helm of the platform's new release, supporting more genomes than ever. www.embl.org/news/people-...

It's exciting to see so many enthusiastic researchers sharing their science at 'The complex life of RNA' 🥼 Here are some impressions from the second poster session! #EESRNA 🧪

Are you interested in developmental biology? Then we have news for you: #EESDevelopment is coming to EMBL next year which will explore how emerging technologies and transformative concepts are reshaping the field. 🧪 Submit your abstract by 2 March: s.embl.org/ees27-02-bl

Good AI models require lots of high-quality training data. Jo McEntyre, Interim Director of EMBL-EBI, highlights how open, expert-curated data is driving the next generation of life sciences: from AlphaFold to AI-assisted data curation.

This webinar presents research focused on perturbomes employed by prokaryotic organisms to survive and adapt to diverse stress conditions. Registration is free but essential. www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve... 🧬🖥️📊 @pdbeurope.bsky.social Image credit: Design Team/EMBL and Rebecca Nicholl/EMBL-EBI

Day 3 of #EESRNA is underway! Things are getting condensed at EMBL Heidelberg! 🔬 Sebastian Falk (Max Perutz Labs) kicked off today's RNPs and Condensates session with a fascinating talk on RNA cleavage and poly(U)glylation by the CPUG complex. @events.embl.org

It is hard to decide which is nicer, the amazing RNA science or reconnecting with RNA friends #EESRNA aka Complex life of RNA.

Part of the UNLEASH team from the Valcárcel lab (@crg.eu) is at @embl.org Heidelberg for the Complex Life of RNA conference #EESRNA. Today, Mónica gave a fantastic talk on the characterisation of small molecules modulating splicing!

Our group members are having a great time at #EESRNA in Heidelberg! Yesterday, You Zhou gave a talk on the role of m6A in splicing and RNA quality control. Jonas Busam and Sri Sankaranarayanan are also presenting their work at posters 75 and 268. If you're at the symposium, stop by for a chat!
