Bioconductor

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make #EuroBioC2026 possible — our sponsors, organisers, speakers, workshop instructors, volunteers, and attendees. Over three days, the Bioconductor community came together to share new research, showcase software, exchange ideas, build collaborations, and celebrate an incredible milestone: 25 years of Bioconductor.

It's been a little over a week since EuroBioC2026 wrapped up in Turku, Finland. The talks ended. The posters came down. But the conversations continue. Here's a look back at a few faces and moments from the conference. #EuroBioC2026 #Bioconductor

🧬 Earlier this year, members of the Bioconductor community gathered on San Servolo Island, Italy, for a hackathon focused on spatial omics and bioimaging. Researchers and developers from across Europe and the USA spent three days working on challenges related to spatial data infrastructure, interoperability, image analysis, visualisation, differential expression, and foundation models. The event resulted in new code, documentation, and a collaborative preprint that will help strengthen spatial omics support across the Bioconductor ecosystem. 📖 Learn more about the hackathon and its outcomes on the Bioconductor blog: https://lnkd.in/euf7jcSs #Bioconductor #SpatialOmics

🧬 Upcoming Bioconductor Developers' Forum 📅 June 25, 2026 🕓 4 PM UTC 🎤 Szabolcs Horvát Topic: igraph: Complex network analysis across multiple programming languages As Bioconductor continues to explore interoperability and accessibility, this session will highlight how the igraph project has successfully maintained multiple user-facing interfaces while supporting a common computational backend. The discussion will offer valuable insights into designing software that meets users where they are, regardless of their preferred tools or programming environment. 👉 Register to attend: https://lnkd.in/eyRgtGtC #Bioconductor

📢 Introducing the Bioconductor Package Maintainer Validation System Bioconductor package maintenance doesn't end at submission. Keeping maintainer contact information current is essential for supporting users, responding to build issues, and ensuring packages remain actively maintained. To help with this, Bioconductor has launched a new validation system that: ✅ Verifies maintainer email addresses remain active and reachable ✅ Supports annual acknowledgement of current Bioconductor policies, procedures, and Code of Conduct ✅ Provides access to maintainer information through the BiocMaintainerApp This is an important step toward strengthening package stewardship, improving communication, and supporting the long-term sustainability of the Bioconductor ecosystem. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/e3YB9QZA #Bioconductor #Bioinformatics

📢 New package submissions to Bioconductor now have a new home. The previous Single Package Builder (SPB) submission process has been replaced with a new system powered by GitHub Actions and R-universe, providing a more automated, reproducible, and streamlined review experience for package authors. Furthermore, the submission process for packages has been updated. New submissions should now be made through BiocContributions. The previous submission location has been frozen and will no longer accept new submissions. The new process also makes it easier for maintainers to reproduce build reports and test packages before submission using the R-universe infrastructure. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/en8EN3XY #Bioconductor

📢 BioC2026 early bird registration is still open through June 15, 2026. Don't miss your chance to join the Bioconductor community in Seattle this August. 🎟️ Register NOW: https://lnkd.in/eubT7qHn
