We’re excited to be officially included in the #NIAID Data Ecosystem Discovery Portal, a hub for accessing #FAIRData from over 50 sources related to infectious and immune-mediated diseases.

Ready to get started with #BOSC AT #ISMB2024 !

Scripps Research scientists @flaneuseks @andrewsu @chunleiwu have partnered with @NIAIDBioIT to launch the NIAID Data Ecosystem Discovery Portal - a searchable interface of infectious & immune-mediated datasets

Do you have a #UI for non-computational researchers? Q3 from the audiences: It's still a tool for bioinformatician at its current stage, but web #UI is on our Todo list. Altly, Biomedical Translator project is building a dedicated UI for querying knowledge #API, including ours.

How scalable it is? Q2 from the audience: BioThings Explorer does not hold any data locally, only keeps #MetaKG, semantic annotations of #API, in the memory, so scalability is one of its highlighted features.

How it's different from #RDF and #SPARQL approach, Q1 from the audience: It separates data (as #API) & semantics (as annotations) into two steps, so they can evolve separately or even handled by different teams, e.g. only change semantic annotations when knowledge model changes.

Jackson from @biothingapi team presenting BioThings Explorer, https://t.co/nxIDq7jqHg, as a way to integrate distributed knowledge #APIs with lower developer burden #BOSC2023 #ISMBECCB2023

Another great talk at #BOSC2023!

J Harry Caulfield now talking about transforming unstructured biomedical texts with LLMs. Using these to translate this unstructured data ti knowledge schemas. #BOSC2023 #ISMBECCB2023

The first keynote for #BOSC2023 by Dr. Sara El-Gebali (@yalahowy) titled “A New Odyssey: Pioneering the future of scientific progress through open collaboration”

https://t.co/BnSLK4hXp2 Research Library collects and integrates COVID-19 information from various repositories, enabling 1-stop search for publications, clinical trials, datasets and other sources. https://t.co/FziPTgtzx0 @GTsueng @flaneuseks @K_G_Andersen @andrewsu @chunleiwu

Now you can easily find sets of genes involved in #GeneOntology processes, diseases and more with our new @mygenesetinfo API. Try it out at

Our latest #Biomedical #API member of the @biothingsapi family! Public annotated genesets➕ user submitted genesets➕anonymous genesets

New BioThings SDK #pypi package released with support for #python 3.9, 3.10 and a lot of other improvements!

NIH launched the Long COVID Computational Challenge (L3C) which will award up to $500k in support of data-driven AI/ML solutions that help us understand the risks of developing the condition. #NIHData #DataScience https://t.co/2HVA04Il7e

We collaborated with @gisaid to enable access to all genomic data on https://t.co/c6AtWST0HM via R package https://t.co/GOPQVDsXbg This allows researchers to access #SARSCoV2 variant data from https://t.co/c6AtWST0HM to support their own analyses. #openscience

Congrats @ScrippsGradPrgm @ScrippsResearch for being, once again, ranked among the top ten in the nation, according to the U.S. News & World Report’s survey. We are the only non-university-based program included on the list. Another great reason to join our faculty!

Just announced! @NIHdatascience is making it easier for researchers to share and reuse NIH-funded research data. Learn about our new initiative: https://t.co/ppezZScDib #NIHdata #researchers #FAIRData #OpenData #OpenScience

Would love to see more candidates in bioinformatics and computational biology! @iscb

The LitCoin Natural Language Processing (#NLP) Challenge is live! NCATS will reward the most creative & high-impact uses of biomedical publication free text to create knowledge graphs that can link concepts within existing research. Learn more: https://t.co/57zmO5szcL
