Invitation to de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany and GHGA webinar "Enhancing Gene Ontology for Medical Lipidomics", online 07.05.26 at 13:00 CEST

by González Ribao, Vanessa

*** Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Veranstaltung ausschließlich in englischer Sprache stattfindet *** Dear Training Community, de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany<https://www.denbi.de/> and GHGA<http://www.ghga.de/> (The German Human Genome Phenome Archive) are inviting you to the next episode of our joint Webinar Series: Enhancing Gene Ontology for Medical Lipidomics. In this webinar, you can learn more about MAPtoGO, a novel Multiomics Analysis Platform designed for simultaneous Gene Ontology (GO)-based enrichment across proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics. We will cover how to perform unified interpretation of diverse biomolecules to identify enriched GO terms, physicochemical categories, and disease associations in a single analysis. We implemented MAPtoGO in a lightweight web application that is openly available [https://lifs-tools.org/map-to-go] and free of charge. We will also demonstrate how the application’s integration with Goslin allows for the seamless handling of various lipid nomenclature dialects, transforming complex datasets into interpretable statistical plots and actionable biological insights. This webinar is aimed at students, early career researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians, and everyone interested in mechanistic multiomics integration and advanced computational lipidomics. The webinar will be held by Dominik Kopczynski from the University of Vienna. The event is in English, it takes approx. 60 minutes and will be held on 7th May 2026 at 13:00 CEST (available afterwards on demand<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXMwmQxyLByXU38-1aG7m-b1A6UADZcxw>).

WiNoDa Webinar "From Whiskers to Datasets: How We Study Small Mammals" - April 7th, 2026

by Bellini, Ginevra

Dear colleagues, [cid:14a0ee78-4578-403a-b92f-54cc2800140a] Are you curious about what tiny mammals can reveal about the state of our ecosystems? In the upcoming webinar from the WiNoDa Knowledge Lab<https://winoda.de/en/english/>, Dr. Anke Hoffmann<https://www.museumfuernaturkunde.berlin/en/museum/today/team/anke.hoffmann> will take you straight into the heart of small-mammal field research – where rodents and shrews become key indicators of biodiversity, habitat health, and environmental change. Dr. Hoffmann will present the research carried out by a German-Polish research team in the Lower Oder Valley National Park. You’ll learn how researchers capture and study these elusive, mostly nocturnal animals and discover the surprising variety of data they provide – from species identity and population trends to ecological relationships and habitat preferences. We’ll explore which data can be collected in the field, how they are analysed, and what they can tell us about broader ecological patterns. Whether you’re interested in species monitoring, conservation biology, data collection methods, or simply want a behind-the-scenes look at hands-on wildlife science, this session offers a clear and engaging introduction. The webinar will take place on April 7th at 11am CET. It is free but registration is required. For more information and registration, visit our website<https://winoda.de/en/event/webinar-small-mammal-field-research/>! On the YouTube channel of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin you can find a short video introduction to the project<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6YuGB3X3c4&t=9s>, with English subtitles available. This session is a great introduction also for our upcoming Summer School "Ecology Field Training: Data Collection and Analysis at Lower Oder Valley"<https://winoda.de/en/event/ecology-field-training/> taking place from July 21st to July 25th, in presence at the Lower Oder Valley National Park.

"Biodiversity Bioinformatics Summer School", 21-26 June 2026, Siegen (Germany)

by Helena Schnitzer

Dear colleagues, de.NBI & ELIXIR-DE<https://www.denbi.de/> and SIB & ELIXIR-CH<https://www.sib.swiss/> are pleased to announce the Biodiversity Bioinformatics Summer School 2026<https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20260621_SSBIB> This jointly organised event will take place from 21 to 26 June 2026 in Siegen, Germany. Biodiversity is fundamental to ecosystem functioning, yet it is facing unprecedented pressure. Advances in the generation, analysis and integration of omics data by bioinformatics tools are transforming our ability to study biodiversity across scales through comprehensive, high-throughput molecular profiling of organisms and ecosystems. This summer school aims to equip life scientists with extended knowledge and practical skills to address these challenges. It will follow a hackathon / mini-project format, with around 20 hours dedicated to hands-on training and collaborative problem-solving. Each participant will work within a single group throughout the week, fostering deep engagement, collaborative problem-solving, and the exchange of knowledge and expertise. Experienced trainers will guide four groups, focusing on the following topics: * Biodiversity across scales – from eDNA to ecosystems * Pangenomes: Capturing genetic diversity beyond a single reference * Computing Genomic Essential Biodiversity Variables * Evolutionary and functional insights from large-scale comparative genomics To complement the project work, the programme will include lectures and a social activity. Participants will stay together in a comfortable hotel, creating an environment that encourages informal exchanges and networking beyond the formal sessions. Accommodation and meals are included in the registration fee, allowing participants to focus entirely on training, collaboration, and community building. More information and application: https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20260621_SSBIB The deadline for application is 16 March. After submitting your application, you will receive an email from the organisers with instructions to complete a short survey and submit a motivation letter. You will be then notified of your registration status as soon as possible. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. Best regards, Helena Schnitzer (de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany), on behalf of the organisers. -- Training Platform Coordinator - ELIXIR-DE Institut für Bio- und Geowissenschaften Computergestützte Metagenomik (IBG-5) Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH c/o Universität Bielefeld/TechFak Universitätsstraße 25 33615 Bielefeld E-Mail: h.schnitzer(a)fz-juelich.de<mailto:h.schnitzer@fz-juelich.de> www.denbi.de<http://www.denbi.de> www.elixir-europe.org<http://www.elixir-europe.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH 52425 Jülich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Jülich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Düren Nr.

Invitation to de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany and GHGA webinar "How to start to make your custom AI agent" , online 23.02.26 at 13:00 CET

by González Ribao, Vanessa

*** Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Veranstaltung ausschließlich in englischer Sprache stattfindet *** Dear Training Community, de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany<https://www.denbi.de/> and GHGA<http://www.ghga.de/> (The German Human Genome Phenome Archive) are inviting you to the next episode of our joint Webinar Series: How to start to make your custom AI agent, from commercial providers to academic providers or local installations for added security and privacy. In this practical webinar we will introduce some, not so well known, uses of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT or DeepSeek, for example we will give it a "persona" so it provides more specialized answers and we will teach it to use custom terminology so the users can get non-answers. We will use an LLM provider that focuses on privacy and security and targets academic usage, so the customizations are not made public unless it is specifically requested. We will also show how to add relevant documents to the LLMs context, to enable it to generate better responses, and we will note risks and how to mitigate these risks, while we are using these tools. At the end we will point to additional resources for participants to continue to create custom LLMs. [cid:image005.png@01DC99A5.DBDA90A0] For more information or registration, visit our event website<https://www.ghga.de/events/detail/the-denbi-elixir-de-and-ghga-knowledge-se…>.
