🌟 Join Us for Optimising Metagenomics Assembled Genomes (MAGs) Building Workflows! 🌟
galaxyproject.org/events/2025-...

MAGs building wfs are crucial for building new genomes & reducing microbial dark matter! Join our hackathon to collaboratively improve these workflows!

#Metagenomics #Workflows
The image features a vibrant and engaging graphic promoting the FAIRyMAGs Hybrid Hackathon 2025. At the top, the title 'FAIRyMAGs Hybrid Hackathon 2025: Optimising Metagenomics Assembled Genomes building' is prominently displayed, accompanied by a rocket icon. Below the title, the event dates 'October 06-10th, 2025' are highlighted with a flag icon. In the center, there are illustrations of three individuals collaborating on a project. One person is standing and pointing at a large screen displaying a graph, another person is sitting on a desk with a coffee mug, and the third person is sitting on the desk with a laptop. The background is minimalistic, focusing attention on the collaborative scene. At the bottom, logos of the supporting organizations are displayed: de.NBI (German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure), IFB (Institut Français de Bioinformatique), and ELIXIR.
