Over 15 years ago, Sir Tim Berners Lee proclaimed the founding of an exciting new future involving intelligent agents operating over smarter data in order to perform complex tasks at the behest of their human controllers. At the heart of this vision lies an uneasy alliance between tedious formal knowledge representations and powerful analytics over big, but often messy data. Bio2RDF, our decade old open source project to create Linked Data for the life sciences, has weaved emergent Semantic Web technologies such as ontologies and Linked Data to generate FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable - data in the form of billions of machine accessible statements for use in downstream biomedical discovery.
This revolution in data publication has been strengthened by action from global bioinformatics institutions such as the NCBI, NCBO, EBI, and DBCLS. Notably, NCBI's PubChem has successfully coupled large scale data integration with community-based standards to offer a remakable biochemical knowledge resource amenable to data hungry discovery tools. Yet, in the face of increasing pressure from researchers, funders, and publishers, will these approaches be sufficient for growing and maintaining a comprehensive knowledge graph that is inclusive of all biomedical research?
Why would a publisher care about open data?
A publisher would care about open data for several reasons:
1) Open data increases the value of all parts of the web by allowing programs, not just people, to utilize the data through interconnecting and joining it.
2) Publishers are evolving from linear supply chains focused on content delivery to users, to becoming marketplaces that optimize the number of interactions between users through networked open science.
3) The future of publishing involves networked open science where data is openly accessible, annotated with metadata, and linked together in research objects, increasing findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research outputs.

Making it Easier, Possibly Even Pleasant, to Author Rich Experimental Metadata
Biomedical researchers will remain stymied in their ability to take full advantage of the Big Data revolution if they can never find the datasets that they need to analyze, if there is lack of clarity about what particular datasets contain, and if data are insufficiently described.
CEDAR, an NIH BD2K Center of Excellence, aims to develop methods and tools to vastly ease the burden of authoring good experimental metadata, and to maximally use this information to zero in on datasets of interest.

Mendeley Data: Enhancing Data Discovery, Sharing and Reuse
Slides for the NIH Workshop, 2/11/20 'The Role of Generalist and Institutional Repositories to Enhance Data Discoverability and Reuse
dkNET Webinar: FAIR Data & Software in the Research Life Cycle 01/22/2021
Abstract
Good data stewardship is the cornerstone of knowledge, discovery, and innovation in research. The FAIR Data Principles address data creators, stewards, software engineers, publishers, and others to promote maximum use of research data. The principles can be used as a framework for fostering and extending research data services.
This talk will provide an overview of the FAIR principles and the drivers behind their development by a broad community of international stakeholders. We will explore a range of topics related to putting FAIR data into practice, including how and where data can be described, stored, and made discoverable (e.g., data repositories, metadata); methods for identifying and citing data; interoperability of (meta)data; best-practice examples; and tips for enabling data reuse (e.g., data licensing). Practical examples of how FAIR is applied will be provided along the way.

FAIR Data Knowledge Graphs
FAIR data has flown up the hype curve without a clear sense of return from the required data stewardship investment. The killer use case for FAIR data is a science knowledge graph. It enables you to richly address novel questions of your and the world’s data. We started with data catalogues (findability) which exploited linked/referenced data using a few focused vocabularies (interoperability), for credentialed users (accessibility), with provenance and attribution (reusability) to make this happen.
This talk was presented at The Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference/Bio-IT West on March 11, 2019.

Why making data Findable, Actionable, Interoperable and Reusable is important.
Talk presented at the Data Driven Drug Development (D4) conference on March 20th, 2019.
Managing, Sharing and Curating Your Research Data in a Digital Environment
This document discusses research data management and curation. It describes how data sharing has increased as open science mandates have promoted data availability. Research data is now often shared alongside research articles through bi-directional linking. Self-curation repositories are being developed to help researchers publish and share their data. The benefits of open access include increased visibility, new discoveries through wider collaboration, and compliance with funder mandates. Key requirements for open data include availability, access, redistribution and reuse. Dataverse is presented as a solution for research data management that facilitates data sharing, preservation, citation, exploration and analysis. It issues persistent identifiers and supports various data formats and protocols. Challenges of data management include meaningful aggregation, privacy concerns

Dataverse, Cloud Dataverse, and DataTags
Talk given at Two Sigma:
The Dataverse project, developed at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science since 2006, is a widely used software platform to share and archive data for research. There are currently more than 20 Dataverse repository installations worldwide, with the Harvard Dataverse repository alone hosting more than 60,000 datasets. Dataverse provides incentives to researchers to share their data, giving them credit through data citation and control over terms of use and access. In this talk, I'll discuss the Dataverse project, as well as related projects such as DataTags to share sensitive data and Cloud Dataverse to share Big Data.
W3C HCLS Dataset Description Guidelines
Access to consistent, high-quality metadata is critical to finding, understanding, and reusing scientific data. This document describes a consensus among participating stakeholders in the Health Care and the Life Sciences domain on the description of datasets using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). This specification meets key functional requirements, reuses existing vocabularies to the extent that it is possible, and addresses elements of data description, versioning, provenance, discovery, exchange, query, and retrieval.
dkNET Annual Meeting - June 2017
The dkNET annual meeting provided progress reports on recommendations from 2016. New resources were added to the registry including datasets, centers, and repositories. The dkNET site was improved with updated interfaces for browsing resources and new visualization tools. Efforts to support rigor and reproducibility included expanding RRID adoption and developing API services to integrate dkNET data. Plans are underway to provide more robust tracking of research resources.

Usage metrics about scholarly output, such as publications and research data, are one of the measures to assess Open Access impact. The OpenAire 2020 [1] project aims to offer a service that monitors and analyzes usage information, as well as exploits usage metrics like views and downloads, which could be used as complements of bibliometrics and webometrics. In this paper, we present the first step towards the implementation of this service, manifested as a pilot run in a set of repositories, together with some initial results which illustrate the use of the applied methodology.

About the Webinar
Link resolvers have become an important element of providing access to full-text electronic content and are now ubiquitous in both the library and publishing community. These systems work well enough a majority of the time. However, they are not entirely problem free, and as a result users may not always obtain access to information which their institutions have licensed for them. The management of the large volumes of linking data necessary to support these services is a problem in scale as well as in detail. Several NISO projects have sought to improve the reliability of these systems, including the Knowledgebases and Related Tools (KBART) and Improving OpenURL through Analytics (IOTA) initiatives.
This webinar will highlight these NISO projects and other community initiatives launched to create community-managed knowledge base repositories.

Presenter: Chen Li, PhD. Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of California Irvine
Abstract
Many data analytics projects have collaborators with complementary backgrounds, including biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, and AI/ML experts. Many of them have limited experience to code, set up a computing infrastructure, and use MLmodels. Existing tools and services, such as email attachments, GitHub, and Google Drive are inefficient for sharing data and analyses. In this talk, we present an open source system called Texera that provides a cloud computing platform for collaborators to share data and analyses as workflows. After seven years of development, the system has a rich set of powerful features, such as shared editing, shared execution, version control, commenting, debugging, user-defined functions in multiple languages (e.g., Python, R, Java), and support of state-of-the-art AI/ML techniques. Its backend parallel engine enables scalable computation on large data sets using computing clusters. We will show a demo of the system, and present our vision supported by a recent NIH award, dkNET(NIDDK Information Network, https://dknet.org), to serve the diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolic diseases research communities through the FAIR sharing of data and knowledge.

dkNET Webinar: Tabula Sapiens 03/22/2024
Presenter: Angela Oliveira Pisco , PhD
Abstract
Although the genome is often called the blueprint of an organism, it is perhaps more accurate to describe it as a parts list composed of the various genes that may or may not be used in the different cell types of a multicellular organism. While nearly every cell in the body has essentially the same genome, each cell type makes different use of that genome and expresses a subset of all possible genes. This has motivated efforts to characterize the molecular composition of various cell types within humans and multiple model organisms, both by transcriptional and proteomic approaches. We created a human reference atlas comprising nearly 500,000 cells from 24 different tissues and organs, many from the same donor. This atlas enabled molecular characterization of more than 400 cell types, their distribution across tissues, and tissue-specific variation in gene expression. One caveat to current approaches to make cell atlases is that individual organs are often collected at different locations, collected from different donors, and processed using different protocols. Controlled comparisons of cell types between different tissues and organs are especially difficult when donors differ in genetic background, age, environmental exposure, and epigenetic effects. To address this, we developed an approach to analyzing large numbers of organs from the same individual. We collected multiple tissues from individual human donors and performed coordinated single-cell transcriptome analyses on live cells. The donors come from a range of ethnicities, are balanced by gender, have a mean age of 51 years, and have a variety of medical backgrounds. Tissue experts used a defined cell ontology terminology to annotate cell types consistently across the different tissues, leading to a total of 475 distinct cell types with reference transcriptome profiles. The Tabula Sapiens also provided an opportunity to densely and directly sample the human microbiome throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The Tabula Sapiens has revealed discoveries relating to shared behavior and subtle, organ-specific differences across cell types. We found T cell clones shared between organs and characterized organ-dependent hypermutation rates among B cells. Endothelial cells and macrophages are shared across tissues, often showing subtle but clear differences in gene expression. We found an unexpectedly large and diverse amount of cell type–specific RNA splice variant usage and discovered and validated many previously undefined splices. The intestinal microbiome was revealed to have nonuniform species distributions down to the 3-inch (7.62-cm) length scale. These are but a few examples of how the Tabula Sapiens represents a broadly useful reference...Full abstract: https://dknet.org/about/blog/2726

Presenter: Malene Lindholm, PhD, Instructor, Department of Medicine, Stanford University
Abstract
The Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) aims to map the molecular responses to exercise and training to elucidate how exercise improves health and prevents disease. The first MoTrPAC data provides an extensive temporal map of the dynamic multi-omic response to endurance training across multiple rat tissues. All results can be viewed, interrogated, and downloaded in a user-friendly, publicly accessible data portal (https://motrpac-data.org). The MoTrPAC data compendium includes transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phosphoproteomics, acetylproteomics, ubiquitylproteomics, DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, and multiplexed immunoassay data. This compilation constitutes of 211 datasets across 19 tissues, 25 molecular assays, and 4 training time points in adult male and female rats. Over 35,000 analytes were found to be differentially regulated in response to endurance training, with many displaying sexual dimorphism. We observed a male-specific recruitment of immune cells to adipose tissues and an anticorrelated transcriptional response in the adrenal gland related to the stress response. Temporal multi-omic and multi-tissue integration demonstrated similar temporal responses in the heart and skeletal muscle, reflecting a concerted adaptation of mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolism. Integrative multi-omic network analysis revealed connections between the heat shock-mediated stress response and mitochondrial biogenesis. Training increased phospholipids and decreased triacylglycerols in the liver, and there were extensive changes to mitochondrial protein acetylation. Many changes were relevant for human health conditions, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular wellness, and tissue damage and repair. Altogether, this MoTrPAC resource provides an unprecedented view of the effects of exercise across an organism, revealing mechanistic details of how exercise impacts mammalian health. The MoTrPAC data hub is the primary online resource to disseminate this large-scale multi-omics data.
The top 3 questions that the MoTrPAC resource can answer:
1. What is the multi-omic response to endurance exercise across different tissues?
2. What are the top signaling pathways affected in response to exercise and do they differ between males and females?
3. How can the MoTrPAC data hub be utilized to interrogate all the MoTrPAC findings?

dkNET Webinar: The Collaborative Microbial Metabolite Center – Democratizing ...
Presenter: Pieter Dorrestein, PhD, Professor, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Pharmacology and Pediatrics, University of California San Diego
Abstract
In the analysis of organs, volatilome, or biofluids, the microbiome influences 15-70% of detectable mass spectrometry molecules. Typically, only 10% of human untargeted metabolomics data can be assigned a molecular structure, with merely 1-2% traceable to microbial origins. Human microbiomes contribute metabolites through the microbial metabolism of host-derived substances, digestion of food and beverage molecules, and de novo assembly using proteins encoded by genetic elements. Despite the significance of microbiome-derived metabolites to human health, there is no centralized knowledge base for community access. To address this, the "Collaborative Microbial Metabolite Center" (CMMC) leverages expertise in mass spectrometry, microbiome innovation, and the GNPS ecosystem to built a knowledgebase. It aims to create a user-accessible microbiome resource, enrich bioactivity knowledge, and facilitate data deposition. The CMMC includes the construction of a knowledge base, MicrobeMASST tool, and health phenotype enrichment workflows, the construction and use will be discussed in this presentation. The use of this ecosystem will be exemplified by the discovery of 20,000 bile acids, many of which were shown to be of microbial origin and linked to diet and IBD.
The top 3 key questions that this resource can answer:
1. How can we leverage the 1000’s of public metabolomics studies to discover microbial metabolites and their organ distributions as well as their phenotypic, including health, associations?
2. If one has an unknown molecule, how can one assess what microbes make a molecule without known structure?
3. How can one contribute to the expansion of the knowledgebase on microbial metabolites?

Presenter: Paul Cohen, MD, PhD, Albert Resnick, M.D. Associate Professor, Rockefeller University
Abstract
White and brown adipocytes not only play a central role in energy storage and combustion but are also dynamic secretory cells that secrete signaling molecules linking levels of energy stores to vital physiological systems. Disruption of the signaling properties of adipocytes, as occurs in obesity, contributes to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Fat cells have been estimated to secrete over 1,000 polypeptides and microproteins and an even larger number of small molecule metabolites. The great majority of the adipocyte secretome has not been defined or characterized. A major obstacle has been the lack of suitable technologies to quantitatively identify circulating proteins and metabolites, determine their cellular origin, and elucidate their function. Building on key innovations in chemical biology and mass spectrometry, our team is generating an encyclopedia of the white and brown adipocyte secretome in mouse models and humans. Our work has the potential to identify new secreted mediators with roles in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic diseases, provide a crucial resource for researchers and clinicians, and lead to new biomarkers and therapies.
The top 3 key questions that this resource can answer:
1. What techniques can be used to characterize the secretome of a cell type in vitro and in vivo?
2. What is the full complement of proteins and metabolites secreted by different kinds of adipocytes?
3. How should one prioritize uncharacterized secreted mediators for functional study?

Presenter: Margo Emont, PhD. Instructor, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School
Abstract
White adipose tissue, once regarded as morphologically and functionally bland, is now recognized to be dynamic, plastic and heterogenous, and is involved in a wide array of biological processes including energy homeostasis, glucose and lipid handling, blood pressure control and host defense. High-fat feeding and other metabolic stressors cause marked changes in adipose morphology, physiology and cellular composition, and alterations in adiposity are associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes. Here we provide detailed cellular atlases of human and mouse subcutaneous and visceral white fat at single-cell resolution across a range of body weight. We identify subpopulations of adipocytes, adipose stem and progenitor cells, vascular and immune cells and demonstrate commonalities and differences across species and dietary conditions. We link specific cell types to increased risk of metabolic disease and provide an initial blueprint for a comprehensive set of interactions between individual cell types in the adipose niche in leanness and obesity. These data comprise an extensive resource for the exploration of genes, traits and cell types in the function of white adipose tissue across species, depots and nutritional conditions.
The top 3 key questions that this resource can answer:
1. How specific is my gene of interest to a particular cell type in adipose tissue?
2. Is the gene/pathway that I am studying in mouse adipose tissue also present in human adipose tissue (and is it regulated similarly in low vs high body weight)?
3. What are the changes in gene expression in a specific cell type at low vs high body weight?

Presenter: Susan Redline, MD, MPH, Peter C. Farrell Professor of Sleep Medicine, Professor of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Abstract
Experimental, clinical and epidemiological studies have identified multiple inter-relationships of sleep with glucose regulation and metabolic disease. In one meta-analysis, after overweight and family history of diabetes, the next 7 top risk factors for incident diabetes were measures of sleep health. These included poor sleep quality, insomnia, short or extremely long sleep duration, and sleep apnea; each sleep problem was associated with incident diabetes with relative risks ranging from 1.38 to 1.74. A mechanism linking sleep apnea with diabetes is through the effects of intermittent hypoxemia on insulin sensitivity. However, studies using neurophysiological markers of sleep in healthy adults showed that selective reduction of slow wave sleep reduced glucose tolerance by 23%, thus additionally suggesting the importance neurophysiological mechanisms during sleep in glucose regulation. In support of this, longitudinal epidemiological studies demonstrated that higher proportions of slow wave sleep (N3) were protective for the development of type 2 diabetes. Recent animal and human studies also point to the effects of sleep micro-architecture—specifically the coupling of slow waves and spindles- on short-term and long-term glucose regulation, possibly through the effects on signaling between the hippocampus and hypothalamus, and changes in autonomic nervous system output. Experimental data also demonstrate a prominent role of the circadian system in regulating glucose and lipid levels. In support of those studies, epidemiological associations have identified significant associations between actigraphy-based measures of sleep irregularity (a marker of circadian disruption) with incident metabolic dysfunction and hypertension. This rich data implicating sleep disturbances as drivers of metabolic disease, coupled with data indicating a high prevalence of sleep and circadian disorders in the population, suggest novel opportunities to target sleep and circadian pathways for preventing or treating metabolic dysfunction, as well as key knowledge gaps.
The National Sleep Research Resource (NSRR; sleepdata.org) provides a large and growing repository of well-annotated polysomnograms (PSGs), actigraphy studies, and questionnaires, some associated with clinical and biochemical data relevant to understanding the links between sleep and circadian disorders with metabolic disease. Notably, the NSRR includes over 50,000 PSGs, which concurrently include multiple physiological signals with high temporal resolution, allowing generation of thousands of variables summarizing dynamic physiological changes and “cross-talk” between physiological systems...(Please see https://dknet.org/about/blog/2674 for full abstract)

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an immune-mediated disease that results in insulin insufficiency and affects 0.3% of the population, including both children and adults. To support clinical trial efforts, there is an urgent need to develop reliable biomarkers capable of predicting T1D risk and guiding therapeutic interventions. Recently, whole blood bulk RNA sequencing has been used to guide T1D clinical trial design and assess response to disease modifying interventions. While the use of bulk RNA sequencing is cost-effective, these datasets provide limited information about cell specific gene expression changes. Here, we aimed to apply computational strategies to deconvolute cell type composition using cell specific gene expression references. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was conducted to profile peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from youth within recent T1D onset and age- and sex-matched controls and identified 31 distinct cell clusters. Using this pre-defined reference dataset, we ran computational algorithms CIBERSORTx and other deconvolution methods simultaneously to deconvolute cell proportions using public clinical trial data. We focused our initial analysis on data from the TN-20 Rituximab trial, which tested the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab vs placebo in recent onset T1D. This talk will introduce recent advances of scRNA-seq techniques and computational deconvolution methods and demonstrate that how we apply different deconvolution approaches for secondary analysis of existing clinical trial data, in the purpose of linking cell specific immune signatures associated with drug responder status.

dkNET Webinar: Estimating Relative Beta-Cell Function During Continuous Gluco...
dkNET New Investigator Pilot Program in Bioinformatics Awardee Webinar Series
Presenter: Joon Ha, PhD. Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics, Howard University, Washington DC.
Abstract
The most common form of diabetes, type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a failure of insulin-secreting pancreatic beta-cells to increase insulin to the level required to maintain normal blood glucose. Thus, identifying beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity in those who are at high risk is crucial to preventing and delaying the disease. Hyper-glycemic clamp and euglycemic hyper- insulinemic clamp are considered to be gold standard measures for these quantities. However, these two methods demand highly skilled labor and thus are cost-prohibitive. Glucose challenge tests have been used to estimate beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity. The product of beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity, termed the disposition index (DI), is of great value because it measures beta-cell function relative to insulin requirements. However, glucose challenge tests are expensive and time-consuming and therefore impractical to implement in large-scale clinical studies. To address this challenge, we developed a model disposition index (mDI estimated without insulin) that does not require insulin measurements during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (Ha et al., Diabetes 2021 (70) suppl. 1). mDI outperforms the conventional oral disposition index (oDI) at predicting progression to diabetes.
To further increase access and refine the assessments of beta-cell function, we are adapting our model to calculate a model disposition index using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). CGM has been in the spotlight of diabetes management and has revolutionized the field of medicine as they are approved for glucose monitoring and clinical decision-making in patients with diabetes. CGM devices are relatively inexpensive compared to oral glucose challenge tests, accessible, and simple to use, especially in remote or free-living environments. The CGM device continuously measures interstitial glucose every 5 minutes and provides glucose profiles for 7-14 days. Thus, there are numerous data points compared to glucose challenge tests, but the abundant data points have not previously been used for estimating metabolic parameters. We compared mDI to two widely used CGM-derived metabolic parameters for assessing metabolic status and risk, mean glucose and glycemic excursion. Both mean glucose and glycemic excursion correlated strongly with mDI. The new approach promises to be cost- effective and easy to perform and therefore implementable in large-scale clinical studies. As for specific clinical applications, estimated model parameters during OGTTs identified ethnic differences in common pathways to T2D between Pima Indians and Koreans.

dkNET New Investigator Pilot Program in Bioinformatics Awardee Webinar Series
Presenter: Rie Sakai-Bizmark, PhD. Assistant Professor, The Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Abstract
Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at high risk of developing glucose intolerance after delivery. In the long term, women with GDM have a nearly 10-fold higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) than women without GDM. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommend that women with GDM undergo a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between four and 12 weeks postpartum, and periodically thereafter. However, postpartum glucose screening (PGS) rate is historically low despite of various interventions to improve such rate. We hypothesized that PGS rate is lower among postpartum homeless women than their housed counterparts, and that interventions to improve PGS rate among postpartum homeless women with GDM should be tailored to their unique circumstances. The Japanese Society of Diabetes and Pregnancy (JSDP) modified the method to perform PGS with random plasma glucose (RPG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), which are simple and less invasive, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection by shortening the time spent in the hospital. RPG or HbA1c test do not require fasting. Therefore, homeless women who utilized care for other reasons could have the test as PGS. Given the barriers faced by homeless individuals, we hypothesize that RPG and HbA1c at healthcare utilizations during the postpartum period could be one of the strategies to identify high-risk individuals early because 1] healthcare utilizations are an opportunity for healthcare providers and social workers to educate homeless patients on GDM and their insurance eligibility and coverage for the screening, and 2] the physical barriers to health care access, which are often cited as a reason for the low PGS rate, are removed.
This proposed study will use administrative data from five states (AZ, CO, NC, NJ, and OR), which collectively include 9.3% of the US female homeless population. Each state will provide detailed, linked, multi-level, anonymized data for postpartum homeless women from four sources: 1] Medicaid claims; 2] Homeless Management Information System (HMIS); 3] birth records; and 4] the American Hospital Association (AHA) database to obtain hospital characteristics. With data from 2013 to 2020, an estimated sample size of 24,000 homeless women who delivered babies and 3,290 postpartum homeless women with GDM will be included.

dkNET Webinar: Choosing Sample Sizes for Multilevel and Longitudinal Studies Analyzed with Linear Mixed Models
Presenter:
Kylie K. Harrall, MS, Research Instructor, Lifecourse Epidemiology of Adiposity and Diabetes (LEAD) Center, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Abstract
Planning a reproducible study requires selecting a sample size which will ensure appropriate statistical power. Free point-and-click software (Kreidler et al., Journal of Statistical Software, 2013, 10.18637/jss.v054.i10) makes it easy to select a sample size for clustered and longitudinal designs with linear mixed models. The software, a suite of training modules, and reference materials are freely available online (www.SampleSizeShop.org ). The software interface and training materials are aimed at biomedical scientists, included those funded by NIDDK. We give examples of study designs for which the software will compute power and sample size, including a study with clustering, a study with longitudinal repeated measures, and a study with multiple outcomes, where heterogeneity of response among subgroups is of interest.
The top 3 key questions that the Sample Size Shop can answer:
1. What free, online, point-and-click, wizard-style, NIH-funded, validated, published power and sample size software provides calculations for studies with clusters, longitudinal studies, and longitudinal studies with clusters?
2. Can GLIMMPSE (www.SampleSizeShop.org) compute power and sample size for randomized controlled clinical trials and observational studies funded by NIDDK?
3. Why use validated power and sample size software instead of writing simulations?

dkNET Webinar: : FAIR Data Curation of Antibody/B-cell and T-cell Receptor Se...
Abstract
AIRR-seq data (antibody/B-cell and T-cell receptor sequences from Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoires) can describe the adaptive immune response in exquisite detail, and comparison and analysis of these data across studies and institutions can greatly contribute to the development of diagnostics and therapeutics, including the discovery of monoclonal antibodies for treatment of autoimmune diseases.
The AIRR community has developed protocols and standards for curating, analyzing and sharing AIRR-seq data (www.airr-community.org), and supports the AIRR Data Commons, a set of geographically distributed repositories that follows the AIRR Community’s metadata standards and the FAIR principles. The ADC currently comprises > 5 Bn receptor sequences from over 86 studies and ~9000 repertoires. The data model of the ADC has recently been expanded to include gene expression and cell phenotype data from single immune receptor cells, as well as MHC/HLA genotyping.
The iReceptor Gateway (ireceptor.org) queries this AIRR Data Commons for specific “metadata”, e.g. “find all repertoires from T1D studies” or for specific CDR3 sequences (e.g., find all repertoires from healthy individuals expressing this CDR3 sequence). Data from these federated repositories can then be analyzed through the Gateway by several sophisticated analysis tools, or downloaded for further analysis offline. The iReceptor Team at Simon Fraser University has recently initiated a collaboration to greatly expand the amount of bulk and single-cell immune profiling data from T1D studies in the AIRR Data Commons. For more information on obtaining or sharing AIRR-seq data contact support@ireceptor.org.
The top 3 key questions that the Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) can answer:
1. A researcher observes that many individuals with Type 1 Diabetes express a specific B-cell or T-cell receptor compared to controls (i.e., a “public” clonotype). To what degree is this receptor observed to be public across other T1D studies or other autoimmune disease populations?
2. Can Machine Learning be used to identify individuals who will respond well to a new cancer immunotherapy based on differences in their antibody/B-cell or T-cell receptor repertoires as curated in the AIRR Data Commons?
3. Is there an association between particular HLA, immunoglobulin (IG), or T-cell receptor (TR) germline gene polymorphisms and propensity toward specific infectious or autoimmune diseases?

dkNET Webinar "The Mission and Progress of the(sugar)science: Helping Scienti...
Abstract
The(sugar)science was launched two years ago with the aim of helping scientists who study type 1 diabetes (T1D) and related interdisciplinary fields connect globally. We also wanted to create a digital space where trainees in the field can be supported, celebrated and connected to future positions. As part of our mission, our all volunteer team created the State of the Science series (2021. 2022), connecting global thought leaders around T1D research topics for discussion with a larger scientific audience. The second State of Science series was led by women scientists following the ADA publication which highlighted the paucity of women scientists in the leadership positions in the field.
To encourage the scientific community at large to dive into pre-existing data and pull out novel hypotheses that pertain to T1D, we created and together with dkNET, hosted D-Challenge 2021 and 2022. These competitions awarded $40K and $50K respectively to those who mined data and developed the most creative and testable hypothesis as judged by scientific experts in the field. These teams were also able to have an audience with the JDRFT1D Fund as part of a "pitch polish" which facilitated their interaction with venture capital.
To date, we have hosted over 200 interviews with T1D focused scientists in academia and industry and have an audience of 35K. Our reach on social media continues to grow and our metrics indicate a robust following. We share opportunities for positions in the field, engage and support trainees and together, our young scientific team published a paper, Similarities between bacterial GAD and human GAD65: Implications in gut mediated autoimmune type 1 diabetes, PLOS, February 2022.
We are currently engaged in the build of a T1D TCR Repository. We connected the AIRR data commons community with top TCR scientists in the field to begin this community based venture. It has the possibility to be incredibly instructive in defining the prodrome , which will further inform the field as it pertains to understanding the etiology of T1D.
Current team members that will join the discussion today will be Neha Mejety, Johns Hopkins University undergraduate and Tiffany Richardson, doctoral degree candidate at VUMC Diabetes.
The top 3 key questions that the(sugar)science can answer:
1. How can I find scientists to collaborate with in Type 1 diabetes research?
2. Where can I learn about Type 1 diabetes trending topics?
3. Where can I find forums to discuss novel ideas with scientists or key opinion leaders and find opportunities for Type 1 diabetes research ?
Presenters:
Monica Westley, PhD, Founder, the(sugar)science

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
