Hi everybody,
Join us next Wednesday, *April 2nd, at 12 PM CDT* for our monthly webinar
with *Gregor Bucher* from the University of Gottingen. He will present
iBeetle-Base <https://ibeetle-base.uni-goettingen.de/>, an integrated
genomic and phenotypic information resource for red flour beetle research
and a new AgBioData member database.
I have included more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend
the webinar below.
I hope you will join us.
Best,
Annarita

*Abstracts:*
*iBeetle-Base - a phenotypic database with community edition*
The red flour beetle *Tribolium castaneum* has become an important insect
model organism to study gene function and RNAi mediated pest control.
iBeetle-Base was developed to document morphological phenotypes from the
genome-wide RNAi gene-knockdown screen iBeetle and has become an integrated
resource of genomic and phenotypic information for *Tribolium castaneum*
research. Since our last release in 2024, iBeetle-Base allows the community
to contribute RNAi phenotypes and associate Gene Ontology terms and
publications with *Tribolium* genes (“community addition”). This novel
functionality overcomes the lack of curators for databases of small
communities. Further, we improved data accessibility, via programming
interfaces alongside traditional HTML pages, which facilitates the
automatic usage of the database by scripting and third-party tools.
Importantly, this phenotypic database with its special adaptations to small
research communities could become the nucleus for other interlinked
databases in the future. iBeetle-Base is freely accessible at

Hi everybody,
This is a friendly reminder of the monthly webinar TOMORROW at 12 PM CDT
with *Alenka Hafner*. Alenka will present the current recommendations and
future directions of the AgBioData Data Reuse working group, recently
published on GigaScience (https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giae106).
I have included more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend
the webinar below.
I hope you will join us.
Best,
Annarita

*Abstracts:*
*AgBioData's Data Reuse WG: our current guidelines and future
considerations*
The scientific community has long benefited from the opportunities provided
by data reuse. Recognizing the need to identify the challenges and
bottlenecks to reuse in the agricultural research community and propose
solutions for them, the data reuse working group was started within the
AgBioData consortium framework. Throughout two years of remote meetings and
asynchronous discussion, we identified the limitations of data standards,
metadata deficiencies, data interoperability, data ownership, data
availability, user skill level, resource availability, and equity issues,
with a specific focus on agricultural genomics research. We described these
in a white paper, out now in GigaScience (
https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giae106), while proposing possible
solutions stakeholders could implement to mitigate and overcome these
challenges and providing an optimistic perspective on the future of
genomics and transcriptomics data reuse.
