NIH Nephele: Microbiome Analysis: LongRead Assembly pipeline (LoRA)
The LoRA pipeline is a complete automated workflow for long metagenomic reads processing, which runs through steps for host removal, long read assembly, microbial taxonomic content classifications, feature predictions, annotations, and abundance scoring, as well as (if elected) functional inference, community stats and visualizations. The pipeline is also equipped with user electable databases specific for […]

Science Journals to Investigate Image Fraud with AI Tools
The journal Science announced on Jan 4, 2024 that they will begin using the tool Proofig to identify instances of image fraud in publications submitted to its six journals. The policy is summarized as follows: Proofig will be applied after a research paper is revised by authors. After analyzing the images, the tool generates a […]
NIGMS Cloud Sandbox
The NIGMS has recently launched a cloud-based set of learning modules called NIGMS Sandbox. These modules are designed to teach basic and advanced concepts in biomedical data science. The modules currently run on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) but will eventually run on Amazon Web Service (AWS) and Microsoft Azure as well. The modules currently […]
Implementation Changes for Genomic Data Sharing Plans Included with Applications Due on or after January 25, 2023
NIH continues to work with the biomedical research community to promote effective and responsible management and sharing of scientific data generated from NIH-funded or conducted research. In an effort to reduce the burden of duplicative reporting expectations, NIH is informing the research community of its intent to establish a single Plan submission requirement for research […]
