With the ever increasing realisation that a majority of scientific research data that is published is not “FAIR” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) there has been a strong push in recent years to implement digital tools within the labs (namely Electronic Lab Notebooks) to combat this. However, implementing an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) is no mean feat, it is a highly complex...
A consensus has been reached that research data must be FAIR. Most researchers understand it as making their data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable during or after the publication process. However, by this stage, it often turns out that some key information about experiments is missing or the experimental design is irreparably incomplete or flawed, questioning the validity of...
Small open reading frame (sORF)-encoded proteins, with less than 100 amino acids in length, have attracted increasing attention over the past decade after being largely overlooked due to limitations in classical bioinformatics and biochemical methodologies. In the methanoarchaeal model organism Methanosarcina mazei, differential RNA sequencing has predicted 1,340 putative sORFs, 407 of which...
