Research Resource Identifiers (RRID) mentioned in the Article "When antibodies mislead: the quest for validation" published in Nature Technology Features!

A new article titled "When antibodies mislead: the quest for validation", written by Monya Baker and published in Nature Technology Feature, mentioned the importance of including RRIDs for antibodies in research articles. RRIDs can help identify antibody used in papers! The author discussed the identity crisis in research using antibodies, and discussed why research antibodies don’t always do what it says on the bottom and why researchers should validate before starting the experiment.

RRID project is led by Dr. Anita Bandrowski and collaborated with dkNET, SciCrunch, and Neuroscience Information Framework. Based on the RRID infrastructure, dkNET develops tools and services such as Resource Reports and Authentication Reports. Resource Reports allow researchers to track the resource information and performance, to help researchers to select a resource. Authentication Reports assist researcher in preparation of authentication plan when submitting NIH grants.
