The forum allowed these companies to get up to speed with the latest developments in bioinformatics and get bespoke specialist advice from EMBL-EBI experts in genome annotation, single-cell sequencing, metagenomics, and drug discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1996, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebi.ac.uk\/industry\/\">EMBL-EBI Industry Programme <\/a>now has 26 member companies from
