ViralZone's web site has been revamped

EPIC (Eukaryotic Promoter and transcription Initiation prediction Challenge) aims to establish a rigorous benchmark for promoter and transcription initiation prediction in understudied species, advance sequence-based genomic modelling, and improve our understanding of how regulatory information is encoded in eukaryotic genomes. The closing date is Dec 31, 2026 so you can still join and win!

Apply to attend the SIB course Building and Maintaining Scientific Resources which will take place online on November 25, 2026! This 0.5-day course is taught by one of the developers of the STRING database of known and predicted protein-protein interactions.

Access the public data on viral pathogens from the Swiss Pathogen Surveillance Platform using the SPSP SPARQL endpoint! There are now a total of 12 SPARQL endpoints listed in Expasy. It's time to SPARQL!

The next version of STRING is ready for use in your analyses: updated networks across STRING, newly available directed regulatory networks, a new typed view showing functional, physical, and regulatory edges in one network, new clustering options and cluster-based layouts … and much more!

Apply to attend the SIB course Computer-Aided Drug Design which will take place in Bern on October 26 - 28, 2026! This 3-day course is taught by the developers of SwissDrugDesign.
