A growing trend in producing academic research is abiding by the FAIR principles, which state that produced research data be findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable. These, in theory, lend to the important concept of reproducibility. However, what about the software used to generate the data? Often that software is a home-grown solution, and the software and its developers are rarely cited in academic research. This does not lend to reproducibility. As such, researchers such as Davenport et al. have written on the topic of improving research output reproducibility by addressing good software development and citation practices. In their 2020 paper published in Data Science Journal, they present a brief essay on the topic, offering background and suggestions to researchers on how to improve research software development, use, and citation. They conclude that "[e]ncouraging the use of modern methods and professional training will improve the quality of research software" and by extension the reproducibility of research results themselves.Interesting Things You Didn’t Know a LIMS Could Do
It’s common knowledge that a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) can manage samples and produce associated analyses and reports. But have you ever looked beyond the basics to learn about the unique, additional features and capabilities a LIMS can offer?
SARS-CoV-2 and the Human Body: New Evidence of How Our Immune System Fights Back
Coronaviruses are a group of enveloped, positive-sense strand RNA viruses that are characterized by their “corona,” or crown, of spike-like structures. Some coronaviruses, like 229E and HKU1, are common among humans and can cause mild upper respiratory illness. The latest emerging human coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is not to be mistaken with its common cold cousins. It is capable of causing severe illness, damaging a wide range of bodily systems, and its wake has left the world in disarray.
Point of Care Testing (PoCT) in the Coronavirus Pandemic – And Beyond
With the arrival of more lateral flow tests with FDA EUA (Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization) approval that can be performed outside of a lab becoming more available, any business, educational institution or other organization can look into implementing their own coronavirus testing program. And they are – especially schools, colleges, and universities. With a critical...
