- 01:57am November 4, 2020
- 1201 views
- News, Webinar
When a biomedical scientist needs to upload her data and enter corresponding metadata into a repository, she is faced with a formidable task. Not only does she need to navigate and fill out many forms to enter (and re-enter!) information, and make sure everything is cross-referenced correctly, but the metadata frequently end up stored in an ad hoc manner, in a non-standard format, and using non-standard terminology. As a result, finding or reusing the metadata, or understanding the underlying experiments, becomes extremely hard, if not impossible. But when the scientist uses CEDAR, the tools can make describing laboratory studies or metadata for any other biomedical content much easier. Come join us for a webinar presented by Dr. Mark Musen on Friday, November 13, 2020 to learn more about this useful tool!

Come join us for a dkNET webinar "Creating And Sustaining A FAIR Biomedical Data Ecosystem" presented by Dr. Susan Gregurick, Associate Director of Data Science and Director, Office of Data Science Strategy at the National Institutes of Health on Friday, Oct. 9, 2020 , 11 am - 12 pm PDT!
Congratulations! SPP team published a paper "Consensus transcriptional regulatory networks of coronavirus-infected human cells" in Nature Scientific Data!
Congratulations! Our collaborator - Signaling Pathways Project (SPP) team Dr. Scott Ochsner and Dr. Neil McKenna have published a paper "Consensus transcriptional regulatory networks of coronavirus-infected human cells" in Nature Scientific Data!
Research Resource Identifiers (RRID) mentioned in the Article "When antibodies mislead: the quest for validation" published in Nature Technology Features!
"Antibodies don’t always do what it says on the tin. Test for true signals before you start your experiment!" 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! RRID project is led by Dr. Anita Bandrowski and collaborated with dkNET, SciCrunch, and Neuroscience Information Framework.

[Postponed] Join dkNET Webinar Series: dkNET Hypothesis Center - Signaling Pathways Project Live Demo on April 17, 2020
The dkNET Hypothesis Center - Signaling Pathways Project (SPP) is a free, open source tool for bench scientists to generate research hypotheses using SPP consensomes, which are lists of genes ranked by their transcriptional responsiveness to signaling pathway nodes. In this webinar, Dr. Neil McKenna will host a hands-on demonstration of using SPP consensomes to generate research hypotheses in your research area of interest. No informatics training is assumed nor will be necessary.
