REMINDER - Monthly Webinar TOMORROW, June 4th, at 12 PM CT

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, Join us for our monthly webinar *tomorrow* *at 12 PM CDT*. Sean Wilkinson will discuss the Workflows Community Initiative's FAIR Workflows Working Group (WCI-FW), a global and open community of researchers and developers working with computational workflows across disciplines and domains. 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:* *The FAIR Principles for Computational Workflow.* Recent trends in the computational and data sciences show an increasing recognition and adoption of computational workflows as tools for productivity and reproducibility that also democratize access to platforms and processing know-how. As digital objects to be shared, discovered, and reused, computational workflows benefit from the FAIR principles, which stand for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The Workflows Community Initiative's FAIR Workflows Working Group (WCI-FW), a global and open community of researchers and developers working with computational workflows across disciplines and domains, has systematically addressed the application of both FAIR data and software principles to computational workflows in a recent publication. This presentation will discuss the WCI-FW working group, some of the critical questions we needed to answer, the resulting set of FAIR principles for workflows, and opportunities for collaborating with the AgBioData Consortium to support FAIR workflow implementation. It is our hope that the FAIR recommendations for workflows proposed in the paper will maximize their value as research assets and facilitate their adoption by the wider community. *| 1P ET | 12P CT | 11A MT | 10A PT |* Find your local time here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+Monthly…> *Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82038356125?pwd=YVFMRElMdEpHZmtObXFvZlA4QVFXQT09 <https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82038356125?pwd=YVFMRElMdEpHZmtObXFvZlA4QVFXQT09>* Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683

REMINDER - Monthly Webinar TOMORROW, April 2nd, at 12 PM CT

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, Join us tomorrow, *April 2nd, at 12 PM CDT,* and meet iBeetle-Base <https://ibeetle-base.uni-goettingen.de/>, the new AgBioData member database. *Gregor Bucher *from the University of Gottingen will discuss this integrated genomic and phenotypic information resource for red flour beetle research. 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 https://ibeetle-base.uni-goettingen.de/ *| 1P ET | 12P CT | 11A MT | 10A PT |* Find your local time here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+Monthly…> *Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82038356125?pwd=YVFMRElMdEpHZmtObXFvZlA4QVFXQT09 <https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82038356125?pwd=YVFMRElMdEpHZmtObXFvZlA4QVFXQT09>* Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683
