Help make SPARC data, tools, and resources more FAIR in the 2022 SPARC FAIR Codeathon that runs from August 6-8. Recruitment is open from July 11 - July 25 by 5pm EDT. Competitors from the United States and abroad are eligible. A prize pool of US$50,000 is available -- including cash prizes and manuscript publication fees.
We encourage researchers and data scientists at any stage of their science journey to register. There is no cost to participate, and during the event SPARC experts will be available to help with technical advice as needed.
We are excited to announce a new release of the Common Fund Data Ecosystem Portal!
As of now, we have data from the following groups in the portal:
- 4D Nucleome Data Coordination and Integration Center
- Extracellular RNA Communication
- The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program
- Genotype-Tissue Expression
- Glycosciences
- The Human BioMolecular Atlas Program
- The Human Microbiome Project
- Illuminating the Druggable Genome
- Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures
- Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions
- University of California San Diego Metabolomics Workbench
We are also pleased to announce the first public release of the content registry. The registry hosts annotations on gene, anatomy, compound, and disease portal pages.
An example annotation is here: https://app.nih-cfde.org/chaise/record/#1/CFDE:gene/nid=1
The second session of the CFDE-CC hosted Content Generation Sprints last will take place August 8 - 12. The purpose of these sprints is to produce annotations for genes, anatomy terms, compounds, and diseases in the CFDE Search Portal. The product of our first sprint can be viewed at https://github.com/nih-cfde/update-content-registry. Please indicate your interest and availability here.
