Biomedical research is experiencing a data explosion, but this does not guarantee building upon knowledge gained from previous experiments. Without appropriate metadata, data can be wasted, especially in animal research. A minimal metadata set is proposed to enable data repurposing, aligning with ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines and making in vivo data FAIR-compliant.
In this Perspective, the authors summarize the current knowledge on the post-COVID-19 condition, focusing on the neurological manifestations, and discuss the applicability of existing animal models to recapitulate human condition.
In this perspective, the authors discuss the use of Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system to study host–microbe interactions, highlighting innovative methodologies and key findings from recent studies.
In this Perspective, the authors highlight the importance of understanding the background genetics of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, and suggest ways that the field might better report genetic information and maintain breeding colonies to improve the transparency and reproducibility of zebrafish research.
Authors present the Alliance of Genome Resources Database as an integration of data from six different model species. Current implementation of the database and future challenges are discussed.
