The PubMLST website underwent a redesign aiming to improve accessibility and provide an enhanced experience for the thousands of users that visit it.
On November 13, 2020, we hosted an online showcase event and welcomed over 200 participants from the global microbial genomics community.
You can watch all the talks and QA sessions on our YouTube channel.
