Last night Geneva’s Jet d’eau lit up for ECCB! A spectacular finish to the event’s opening day – with further celebration, science and connection on the programme for today: eccb2026.org/schedule/int... #ECCB2026 #Bioinformatics

Swiss President Guy Parmelin opened ECCB today, with Geneva Canton President Anne Hiltpold, Swiss National Councillor Simone de Montmollin, University of Geneva Rector Audrey Leuba & Jeremy Farrar of the WHO. They highlighted Geneva as a hub of high-quality data. #ECCB2026 #Bioinformatics #AI

🧬 Les partenaires se ressemblent davantage que ce que le hasard présagerait, ce qui laisse des traces dans le génome de leurs enfants. Des scientifiques @fbm-unil.bsky.social @sib.swiss ont développé une nouvelle méthode permettant de déduire ce phénomène. Lire la suite 👉 www.unil.ch/news/fr/1786...
