MIFA rests on 4 key pillars:
- Clear metadata for annotations
- Incentivise the production of annotated datasets
- Reduce the number of formats used for annotations
- Make data accessible to all

Huge thanks to all collaborators—can’t wait to see MIFA in action!

Thanks for the shoutout! It was great to attend EuroBioC and connect with the Bioconductor community.

My favorite part of last-year #scverse conference was to finally meet in-person many developers that I only knew from their GitHub username!

Submissions and travel grant applications close in 3 days. Find out more and apply at scverse.org/conference2025

Hi Samuel, I'd like to share that one of our objectives is also to promote interoperability with BioC. Please find some info here for spatial blog.bioconductor.org/posts/2025-0.... More of types of interactions to come!

The @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social Cell Science Meeting in Chicago just concluded. I had the opportunity to present the latest advancements in spatial omics within the #scverse ecosystem, highlighting our efforts to scale our infrastructure in preparation for the datasets of tomorrow.

If you work with Xenium data segmentation, you may want to check out Segger!

Segger provides accurate and scalable segmentation for IIS and FISH-based spatial omics datasets, using a novel heterogenous GNN approach.

Authors: elihei.bsky.social and Andrew Moorman.

🚀 We’re very excited to share our latest preprint on OME-Zarr! 🚀

Our report on the 2024 OME-NGFF Workflows Hackathon is a deep dive into the status of OME-Zarr and the great work that happened last November at the BioVisionCenter in Zurich.

The latest #scverse hackathon on spatial omics has really been a blast! A small example: Day 2 was planned from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm, yet we had people hacking until 9-10 pm! (pics 2-3).

Looking forward to the new in-person event!

Recently, we held the first #scverse SpatialData 3-day hackathon in Basel (Switzerland), where we brought together 20 developers from the Python, R, and web communities to work on interoperability, performance, and ergonomics for spatial omics data. Here is what we worked on!

I had the opportunity to present my work at BIOINFO 2024 in Gyeongju, Korea. It was great to meet previous colleagues from Heidelberg, Jeongbin park and Hyobin Jeong, and be welcomed by such a vibrant research community!

In September, I represented the SpatialData team at SCG 2024. I was honored to receive a best poster award; I want to thank my team (in particular Giovanni, Tim, Wouter, Kevin, and Sonja) who made the project possible. In the pic, Danila and @mkoutrouli.bsky.social from @scverse-team.bsky.social.
