We are happy to announce the launch of our journal club next week! 🎉
Join us on September 4, 2025, from 14:00 to 14:45 CEST (Google Calendar).
We are delighted to host Dr. Dongwook Kim from the University of Lausanne, who will introduce Unicore, a novel method for identifying structural core genes at a scale suitable for downstream phylogenetic analysis.
Unicore was recently presented in this publication: Genome Biology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, evaf109.
Following the presentation, we will have an open discussion on potential applications of the tool in virus research. Bring your questions and RdRp thoughts—everyone is warmly welcome! 😉
For those interested in shaping the club’s future activities, please stay for a short planning meeting right after the journal club (14:45–15:00 CEST).
Want to stay connected? Join our Slack community to keep the discussion going and get updates on upcoming events!
