Time for potentially the most anticipated talk (well at least for me) at #ABACBS2025 - Hasindu Gamaarachchi talking about ice-cream (also, ONT adaptive sampling and genome assembly)

After the success of our pilot conference bingo at @combine1.bsky.social we are happy to share it with all for @abacbs.bsky.social it's silly, it's the thing you wish you made, how many can you tick off? Who will be the first to reach Bingo? And who's got suggestions for next year?? #ABACBS2025

Enlightening session by Prof. Karin.
Career paths are not always straight
Embrace collaboration and grow with the technology
As bioinformaticians, we should continue to share how our roles and expertise contribute to different industries.

Next up: Lightening ⚡ talks!!!

What a brilliant round of lightning talks - we heard about spatial transcriptomics, methylation, and drug resistance, among a variety of other topics. The presenters did a fantastic job using all 90 available seconds to pitch their projects - make it worth their while by checking out their posters!
