Publication: Nanopublications for exposing experimental data in the life-sciences: a Huntingtion’s Disease case study

On December 10, 2013, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Nanopublications for exposing experimental data in the life-sciences: a Huntingtion’s Disease case study

Data from high throughput experiments often produce far more results than can ever appear in the main text or tables of a single research article. In these cases, the majority of new associations is often archived either as supplemental information in an arbitrary format or in publisher-independent databases that can…

Publication: Microattribution and nanopublication as means to incentivize the placement of human genome variation data into the public domain

On July 23, 2012, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Microattribution and nanopublication as means to incentivize the placement of human genome variation data into the public domain

The advances in bioinformatics required to annotate human genomic variants and to place them in public data repositories have not kept pace with their discovery. Moreover, a law of diminishing returns has begun to operate both in terms of data publication and submission. Although the continued deposition of such data…
