ELIXIR-IT's All Hands Meeting (Oct 13-14, 2025) features a "Stories, Projects, Perspectives" session. Members can submit abstracts by July 20. Workshop proposals from Platforms, Communities, and Focus Groups are due July 7.
ELIXIRxNextGenIT offers free remote access to Italian research facilities for Genomics and Metabolomics. Services include analysis, consumables, and data repository.
Researchers, academics and entrepreneurs discussed how ELIXIR-IT can play a key role in connecting the world of public research with that of biotechnology companies.
CREDO: a friendly Customizable, REproducible, DOcker file generator for bioinformatics applications
CREDO, a Customizable, REproducible, DOcker file generator for bioinformatics applications, has been developed as a tool to moderate reproducibility issues by building and distributing docker containers with embedded bioinformatics tools. CREDO simplifies the process of generating Docker images, facilitating reproducibility and efficient research in bioinformatics.
An automated pipeline integrating AlphaFold 2 and MODELLER for protein structure prediction
In this work, it is evaluated the possibility of improving AlphaFold2’s three-dimensional predictions by developing a new pipeline (AlphaMod) that integrates AlphaFold2 with MODELLER, a traditional homology modeling program. For this study, MARCONI100 at HPC@CINECA was used, which was made available through an ELIXIR project.
Long-term immune response after SARS-CoV2 vaccination in solid organ transplant recipients
In this study, we explored the link between gut impairment and severe COVID-19 in people with HIV (PWH). We compared PWH with COVID-19 to HIV-uninfected individuals hospitalized for the same condition. Despite more severe clinical symptoms in PWH, we did not observe significant differences in gut barrier dysfunction markers between the two groups.
HPC-T-Assembly: a pipeline for de novo transcriptome assembly of large multi-specie datasets
Recent years have seen a substantial increase in RNA-seq data production, with this technique becoming the primary approach for gene expression studies across a wide range of non-model organisms. The majority of these organisms lack a well-annotated reference genome to serve as a basis for studying differentially expressed genes (DEGs).
