Most studies on the sinonasal microbiota were conducted at a single time point and therefore the temporal dynamics of the microbial community in this niche has not been sufficiently explored. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common and complex inflammatory diseases affecting the sinuses. Advances in molecular techniques, particularly third-generation and long-read sequencing, now enable species-level resolution in microbiome profiling. In this study, we applied full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing using Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Our analysis demonstrates that the sinonasal microbiome of CRS patients and healthy individuals exhibits high inter-individual variability, without consistent taxonomic patterns distinguishing the groups. Future work will investigate the effects of systemic antibiotic therapy on the sinonasal microbiome. We also aim to integrate taxonomic data with clinical and microbial metadata derived from bioinformatic analyses, using machine learning approaches to better understand disease complexity and identify meaningful patterns..\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The project is carried out in collaboration and funded by the grant<em>&nbsp;\u201cMicrobiome of the paranasal sinuses \u2013 temporal dynamics and changes induced by selective antibiotic pressure\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>from the National Science Centre (NCN), grant no. 2023\/51\/D\/NZ5\/01206, led by Dr Joanna&nbsp;Szaleniec.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Sylwia Bo\u017cek&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-d2ce8c\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-edited-1-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-_2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-_2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-_2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sano.science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Representatives-of-the-Structural-and-Functional-Genomics-Team-at-the-international-conference-in-London-_2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote eplus-wrapper is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u201cIn today\u2019s world, where life-science research is becoming increasingly data-driven, unequal access to formal bioinformatics training constitutes a major barrier to the effective use of insights derived from continuously generated biological big data. To address this gap in Central and Eastern Europe, we developed a comprehensive framework to strengthen regional bioinformatics capacity through intensive, targeted short-term workshops delivered in a hybrid format. Implemented through the East European Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics (EEBG) workshop series, the initiative combines hands-on training with remote participation to maximize accessibility and foster international collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">An evaluation of the 2025 EEBG workshop in Krak\u00f3w, which engaged over 110 on-site and online participants, revealed high satisfaction with skill development and networking opportunities, while also identifying challenges typical of hybrid education, including the reliability of audio-visual infrastructure and the need to balance pacing across participants with diverse levels of experience. Based on these observations, we propose refinements and outline core design principles for effective and scalable bioinformatics training. Overall, our findings demonstrate that our developed framework of regionally adapted hybrid workshops provides a scalable and effective solution for narrowing the global bioinformatics skills gap.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The research was conducted in collaboration with Jagiellonian University Ma\u0142oposka Centre of Biotechnology, Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Oakland University (USA) and others and is available as a preprint: https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.64898\/2026.01.21.700760v1.full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right eplus-wrapper\">Daryna Yakymenko<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The Festival of Genomics &amp; Biodata was the UK\u2019s largest life sciences event, focused on advancing the adoption and application of genomics across biomedical research and healthcare.
