A last post before Xmas about our #cellline symposium on Jan 11 in Lausanne: https://my.weezevent.com/cell-lines-in-the-21st-century As we are not fully booked we offer a Xmas present: enter the discount code CHRISTMAS and benefit from a 20% reduction on the registration fee
We are extending the registration deadline for our symposium "Cell lines in the 21st century" (Jan, 11 2024 in Lausanne): https://my.weezevent.com/cell-lines-in-the-21st-century So don't hesitate to register and please boost this post #cellline #conference #bioinformatics #biology
It is wonderful to see more SIB Resources recognized as being of fundamental importance to the worldwide life science community by being included in the Global Core Biodata Resources: https://globalbiodata.org/global-biodata-coalition-announces-outcome-of-2023-global-core-biodata-resource-selection-process/
✨ Congratulations to the teams behind @bgeedb and @cellosaurus for their impressive work ✨

Stay tuned for more on this soon!
Can you answer the following riddle: Why can we state that there is ~7900 km between a contaminated cell line and an authenticated one? Prize: either a free registration to the symposium: https://my.weezevent.com/cell-lines-in-the-21st-century
or a giant (4.5 kg) Toblerone chocolate bar. Reply to cellosaurus@sib.swiss up to Dec 4. Hint: you need to "think outisde of the box".
Did you know that five goldfish #celllines https://www.cellosaurus.org/search?query=Masahito were established in the 1980s by a Japanese cancer research group that included Masahito, Prince Hitachi the younger brother of the previous Emperor of Japan?

Today, we have reached an important milestone: 150,000 #celllines entries in the #Cellosaurus
Who will be the 1st one to guess the meaning of the color stripes in the illustration below?
If you are in Switzerland on Jan 11 2024, join us for our symposium 'Cell Lines in the 21st Century': https://my.weezevent.com/cell-lines-in-the-21st-century
We have a wonderful palette of speakers (see below).
After English and German, there is now an entry on the #Cellosaurus in the Czech Wikipedia: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellosaurus
With the continuous growth in number of cell lines and depth of content, the text version of release 47 is now over 100 Mb (101.8 Mb) and the XML version over 400 Mb (422 Mb). Compared to the first release in 2012 this represents a 100x increase!
Release 47 of #Cellosaurus is ready https://cellosaurus.org It contains information regarding 148681 #celllines and cite 26994 publications. Highlight of this release: new cross-references to cancercelllines.org, GeneCopoeia and Ubigene
KS-EMPD-1 (will be CVCL_C4LP), the first extramammary Paget’s disease #cellline. See: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37432591/
Found a nice "fake" twitter account for Mary Kubicek
https://twitter.com/marykubicekNHS, the lab assistant of George Otto Gey. The account has been created by high school students studying the story of the HeLa #cellline
Information on the anatomical site where a #cellline has been sampled has been completely enhanced and is now linked to the UBERON ontology (http://obofoundry.org/ontology/uberon.html). Cell type information has been also standardized and linked to the CL ontology (http://obofoundry.org/ontology/cl.html). Currently we make use of 803 UBERON and 241 CL terms.
Release 46 of #Cellosaurus is ready https://cellosaurus.org It contains information regarding 146062 #celllines and cite 26479 publications. Highlight of this release: enhancement of info on anatomical origin (tissues/organs) and cell type of cell lines.
