Of bantam brains and fancy footwork: bioinformatics tools help reveal complexity of avian evolution
In 2014 the Science journal featured an article on the bird tree of life, mentioning the essential role of algorithms and supercomputers that enable modern research in evolutionary biology for all types of living beings. Now, a decade and a giant leap in tool development later, part of the team that coordinated the computer analyses at that time co-authored another paper in Nature on the complexity of avian evolution.
FORTH-ICS Spin-off company Code BGP acquired by Cisco
The Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) is delighted to announce the acquisition of Code BGP, a FORTH-incubated startup, by Cisco, the world leader in network technology.
