A FAIR and scalable workflow for plankton phenogenomics at single cell level

When: June 11, 2025, 15:30 – 16:30 (CEST)

As part of the STANDFLOW project, EMBL-EBI is hosting a series of webinars focused on the management and sharing of bioimaging and other multimodal data. The project connects cutting-edge imaging technologies with -omics approaches and utilizes complex datasets from research expeditions such as TREC (Traversing European Coastlines). Its goal is to support the implementation of standardized data flows in the emerging field of planetary biology.

While some webinars address challenges specific to environmental and marine biology research, several offer practical insights applicable to a broader research audience – particularly those working with imaging or other complex data types. All webinars are recorded and will be made available for on-demand viewing.

This session presents an integrated workflow connecting single-cell imaging and sequencing in marine plankton research. It introduces the LABID platform, which links environmental samples to imaging-based cell sorting and sequencing, and explains how this data feeds into the scalable Nextflow pipeline for symbiont identification. The webinar highlights the implementation of FAIR principles in designing a robust and reproducible data architecture across multiple modalities.
