dkNET Webinar: The Collaborative Microbial Metabolite Center – Democratizing ...dkNET
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?

Developing data services: a tale from two Oregon universitiesAmanda Whitmire
While the generation or collection of large, complex research datasets is becoming easier and less expensive all the time, researchers often lack the knowledge and skills that are necessary to properly manage them. Having these skills is paramount in ensuring data quality, integrity, discoverability, integration, reproducibility, and reuse over time. Librarians have been preserving, managing and disseminating information for thousands of years. As scholarly research is increasingly carried out digitally, and products of research have expanded from primarily text-based manuscripts to include datasets, metadata, maps, software code etc., it is a natural expansion of scope for libraries to be involved in the stewardship of these materials as well. This kind of evolution requires that libraries bring in faculty with new skills and collaborate more intimately with researchers during the research data lifecycle, and this is exactly what is happening in academic libraries across the country. In this webinar, two researchers-turned-data-specialists, both based in academic libraries, will share their experiences and perspectives on the development of research data services at their respective institutions. Each will share their perspective on the important role that libraries can play in helping researchers manage, preserve, and share their data.
Join us in Boston this coming Fall to attend Cambridge Healthtech Institute's (CHI) 2nd Annual FAST: Functional Analysis & Screening Technologies Congress on November 17-19, 2014 and meet with a community of 250+ biologists, screening managers, assay developers, engineers and pharmacologists dedicated to improving in vitro cell models and phenotypic screening to advance drug discovery and development at 6 conferences: Phenotypic Drug Discovery (Part I & II), Engineering Functional 3D Models, Screening and Functional Analysis of 3D Models, Organotypic Culture Models for Toxicology and Physiologically-Relevant Cellular Tumor Models for Drug Discovery. Delegates have the opportunity to share insights in interactive panel discussions and connect during networking breaks. View innovative technologies and scientific research revolutionizing early-stage drug discovery in the exhibit/poster hall.

Dr. Peter Kraker gave a presentation on open science at the Medical University of Innsbruck on December 4, 2017. He defined open science as making all research outcomes and processes publicly available online. Key aspects of open science include open access, open data, open source, open methodology, open metrics and peer review, open educational resources, open discovery, and citizen science. Preregistration of studies helps address biases and allows early detection of errors. Open access articles tend to receive more citations. Preprints allow sharing work before publication. Open science aims to improve visibility and discovery of scientific knowledge.

With over 5000 scientific articles per day we need machines to help us understand the content. This material is to be used at an interactive session for the Science Society at Trinity College Cambridge UK
This document summarizes Jessica Polka's presentation on emerging visions for preprints. Some key points include:
1) Preprints allow for faster dissemination of research which can accelerate discovery and collaboration. They also help prevent duplication of efforts.
2) Authors want and receive feedback on preprints from other researchers through forums like bioRxiv comments and social media. Making this feedback more transparent could help readers and editors.
3) While preprints are not a replacement for peer-reviewed publications, they allow authors to share work earlier. Versioning of published articles also needs to be improved to allow for corrections.
4) Trust in preprints comes from transparency around moderation practices by different preprint

Open access to research has been shown to accelerate the research cycle and increase citations and usage of articles. In high-energy physics, researchers have openly shared preprints for decades through arXiv, allowing findings to be rapidly built upon. Analysis of arXiv usage shows the time between preprint posting and citation has significantly decreased as open access has increased. Studies also consistently find that open access articles receive more citations, with some seeing a 600% increase, than articles hidden behind paywalls. However, journal impact factors should not be used to evaluate individual researchers or papers, as they measure prestige rather than use or quality.
ContentMining for France and Europe; Lessons from 2 years in UKpetermurrayrust
This document summarizes Peter Murray-Rust's presentation on two years of content mining in the UK and lessons for France and Europe. Some key points discussed include:
- Content mining can save lives by enabling researchers to search literature and find past warnings, as in the case of Ebola.
- However, publishers like Elsevier and Wiley have stopped researchers' content mining efforts, hampering their work.
- France, Europe and the UK must actively support content mining through funding, tools, training and protecting researchers from restrictive publishers.
- Examples are given of ContentMine fellows' projects mining literature on topics like weevil-plant associations, cell migration and depression in animals.
The document discusses strategies for working with large biological datasets as sequencing costs decrease and data volumes increase exponentially. It summarizes three key uses for abundant sequencing data: hypothesis falsification, model comparison, and hypothesis generation. The author's lab aims to develop open tools for moving quickly from raw data to hypotheses and identify challenges preventing collaborators from doing their science. Summarizing a discussion on soil microbial communities, it notes the immense diversity and challenges of culture-dependent approaches, necessitating single-cell sequencing and metagenomics.
The document summarizes an architectural design team called Good Riddance that uses sustainable and environmentally-friendly strategies. The team is led by Anida Cmanjcanin from the University of Sarajevo and includes members from India. They use nature as a design tool to develop projects that maximize resource utilization. An example given is the Eden Project in the UK, which uses efficient structural solutions inspired by biology. The team believes in balancing economic success, social well-being, and environmental protection.

The economic significance of bacterium gets from the genuine certainty that bacterium zone unit misused by people amid a scope of supportive routes in which. Regardless of the real truth that some bacterium assume unsafe parts, such as exacting disease and ruining sustenance, the economic significance of bacterium incorporates every their supportive and hurtful angles. Economic significance of any creature refers to the benefits and disadvantages of that life form to nature, the people furthermore the environment. Microorganisms (bacteria), a being and tiny creature have the ensuing financial importance and as especially now as the scientist are trying to generate power from them.
Consequently the point of scientists is to build up an earth well-disposed bio-battery Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC), which specifically changes microorganisms into vitality. Batteries, for example, these work in the same route as ordinary batteries, however with one distinction. The MFC comprises of two different units, the anode and the cathode segments, much the same as the batteries now in current family utilize. A somewhat porous film differentiates the two ranges. Rather than customary batteries, be that as it may, there are microorganisms in the anode territory of the bio-battery rather than electrolytes.

Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. It provides a new approach to studying microbes that are not easily cultured in a laboratory and enables investigation of microbial communities in their natural habitats. Metagenomics involves directly extracting DNA from samples, sequencing it, and analyzing the genetic information obtained from entire communities of organisms simultaneously. This provides insights into uncultured microbes and their roles in various environments.
