Workshop HMW/HiC ENG

20th to 21st May, 2025

Reference Genome Generation: Workshop on Problem Solving in High Molecular Weight DNA and Hi-C Extraction

A two-day interactive workshop focused on the extraction of high molecular weight DNA (HMW) and Hi-C problem-solving.** Designed for experienced researchers and motivated beginners, it provides a platform to discuss and address some of the key challenges in generating high-quality reference genomes.

The main goal of this workshop is to provide practical support for real-world challenges. We aim to create an open and collaborative space where participants can share their experiences, discuss common obstacles, and receive feedback from peers. By engaging everyone in problem-solving discussions, we hope to promote knowledge exchange, refine methodologies, and collectively improve HMW DNA and Hi-C extraction techniques.

DiSSCo y Specify 7 ENG

April 4th, 2025

Understanding DiSSCo and Specify7: Tools for Biodiversity Data Management

A seminar on digitization infrastructure and collections management systems.

Join us for a special seminar focused on DiSSCo (Distributed System of Scientific Collections) and the Specify collections consortium, featuring insights into Specify 7’s architecture and tools. Delivered by Silvia Lusa from the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales and Iñigo Granzow de la Cerda from the Real Jardín Botánico, this session will explore the evolving landscape of biodiversity informatics.

Designed for researchers, collection managers, and data specialists, providing valuable insights into the platforms driving digital collections and data sharing across institutions. It will cover key aspects of DiSSCo’s mission, the role of Specify in collections management, and practical features of the Specify 7 software.
