2026 Virus bioinformatics and nf-core hybrid collaborative hackathon
The VirJenDB (NFDI4Microbiota) and the global nf-core community share a commitment to building open-source bioinformatics workflows (for example, in Nextflow) to enable reproducible research. We will organize a collaborative hackathon as a satellite event of the International Virus Bioinformatics Meeting 2026. You do NOT have to attend ViBioM to participate in the hackathon. We invite you to join us on 17 May 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania, or online!
