The Dark mAtteR iNvestigator darn software tool for the identification of the unassigned sequences of COI data is on the road!
Here you may find the corresponding pre-print!
darn is available as a Docker image.
You may find more about how to install and how to use darn through its GitHub repository.
Text-mining and data integration.
Really glad about dingo being accepted at BOSC2021.
We will be there with our e-poster!
Thanks for the event @OBF_BOSC!
e-See you all there!

Marine microbial communities are an untapped reservoir of genetic and metabolic diversity and a valuable source for the discovery of new natural products of biotechnological interest. The conditions in these environments, i.e., high temperatures, low pH values and high concentration of heavy metals, often resemble harsh industrial settings. Thus, these environments may serve as pools of enzymes of enhanced catalytic properties that may provide benefits to biotechnology. Here, we screened 11 metagenomic libraries previously constructed from microbial mat samples covering the seafloor and the polymetallic chimneys of Kolumbo volcano as well as mat samples from Santorini caldera, to mine, in silico, genes associated with bioenergy applications.
The First international conference on the use of DNA for water biomonitoring is here!
Both PEMA and DARN have earned a spot there and will be presented as oral talks!
You may see the complete program here.
Thanks @DNAquaNet!
See you all there!
The Microbiome Data Analyses Workshop has opened its registration!
A series of great topics and software will be covered!
PEMA will be there for a full hands-on tutorial!
Even online, hope to e-meet you all there! 
In the framework of Google Summer of Code 2021 the GeomScale group has proposed, among others, a bio project!
We will use volesti to sample on the flux space of metabolic networks and investigate potential microbial interactions.
For more inforamtion, you may check the project here.
volestipy methods for uniform sampling in metabolic networks were submitted at the 37th International Symposium on Computational Geometry.
You may find a pre-print here.
The volestipy library was presented at the Pydata Global 2020 online conference.
You may watch the presentation here.
Thanks a lot to the Pydata community for giving us the chance to talk about a great range of challenges in computer scienve and meet people from around the world sharing thoughts on such interesting topics!
