Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC)

The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is an annual gathering for researchers, developers, and users involved in bioinformatics—an interdisciplinary field combining biology, computer science, and data analysis. The conference focuses on promoting open-source software tools and collaborative development to advance biological research. Attendees share innovations, discuss challenges, and collaborate on projects that improve how we analyze and interpret complex biological data, such as genomes and proteins. BOSC fosters a community dedicated to transparency, sharing, and improving computational resources to better understand life sciences and support scientific discovery.
