SIB REMARKABLE OUTPUTS 2020
Discover the 10 best achievements and work produced by our scientists over the last year. Staying abreast of the latest advances and bright ideas emerging in a field as diverse as bioinformatics is challenging. To provide the global bioinformatics community with a shortlist of work produced during the year by SIB Scientists that is particularly deserving of attention, the SIB Award Committee has launched the Remarkable Outputs initiative. These outputs can include peer-reviewed publications, preprints, resources, software tools, databases, videos, tutorials, outreach programmes, science advocacy, etc.
