"DHFR Inhibitors Revisited: A Word From the Authors (and Reviewers)" (In the Pipeline)
A useful antidote (or merely counterpoint?) to the whole Graeber-related nastiness on Crooked Timber a while ago. Similar kind of situation, similar Niceness Police (as Kotsko would put it) showing up in the comments, but still a much more constructive outcome. Eager to read the final follow-up post. [Update-- here: http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2012/04/26/different_worlds_a_last_dhfr_paper_thought.php ] Seriously, guys, this is what the future of scientific publishing and peer review looks like.

Re: Schema.org in RDF ... from Richard Cyganiak on 2011-06-11 (public-lod@w3.org from June 2011)
This is intensely depressing, for many reasons. Among other reasons, it means the whole "Google-style Science" project, so touted by people like Chris Anderson, is totally a lost cause. I mean, seriously, good luck with that if you can't distinguish <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/25> the Entrez gene data record from <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/25> the gene (or any one of a dozen different kinds of things it could reasonably refer to).

Hopkins, Groom, "The druggable genome" : Article : Nature Reviews Drug Discovery
(doi:10.1038/nrd892) People keep talking about this paper at work -- and Hopkins gave one of the plenaries at IDD this year. I think what this is, is just mapping a lot of the intermediate data that's useful for drug discovery down on to the "genomic coordinate system," and making it available in one location for browsing. Not sure how useful that really is; does it omit something key?

"Data Sharing News: NSF Links to Open Context and tDAR" (Digging Digitally)
"Now for some context: Earlier this year, the NSF announced new data sharing requirements for grantees. Grant-seekers now need to supply data access and management plans in their proposals. This new requirement has the potential for improving transparency in research. Shared data also opens the door to new research programs that bring together results from multiple projects. ...
That’s why it is useful for the NSF to link to specific systems and services. Along with Open Context, the NSF also links to Digital Antiquity’s tDAR system (Kudos to Digital Antiquity!). Open Context offers researchers guidance on how prepare datasets for presentation and how to budget for data dissemination and archiving (with the California Digital Library). Open Context also points to the “Good Practice” guides prepared by the Archaeology Data Service (and being revised with Digital Antiquity). Researchers can incorporate all of this information into their grant applications."

iPhylo: Viewing scientific articles on the iPad: towards a universal article reader
The first in a series of posts from Rod Page, about reading scientific articles on smaller devices (iPads, other tablets) -- he's reviewing the presentation, interaction, UI, and visual tropes of a couple different readers, in preparation for talking about building an app to read phylogenetics papers on the same platforms. These are worth bookmarking and reading -- they're probably useful for thinking about how to read other media as well (magazines? newspapers? something else?). I've been intending to forward this to Sam when I get a chance...

Complexity and Social Networks Blog: The end of Supporting Material?
A datapoint for JAR. (For the record, I think that reviewing practices are *broken*, at least in the sub-areas of CS where I've been able to see behind the curtain, but I also think that nixing "supplementary information" is a step in the wrong direction. The right move here would be to think more carefully about how to make it easier for people to review the material, not how to reduce the amount of material overall...)

"Independent Introduction of Two Lactase-Persistence Alleles into Human Populations Reflects Different History of Adaptation to Milk Culture"
Normally, lactase persistence ("LP") is associated with a particular SNP in an enhancer 13kb upstream of the lactase (LCT) gene. Here they show, though, that (as you might expect) there are other variants in different human subpopulations which give rise to the same phenotype. (I think this is the Broad's "ability to drink milk arose twice in human evolution" paper that I remember seeing touted on their Main St. display screens a year or two ago.)

Language Log » The business of newspapers is news
"In other words, the more prestigious the journal (as measured by its "impact factor"), the less likely the genetic association studies it publishes are to be replicated." -- a great line. But to be honest, I'm less concerned by this kind of thing today than I was (probably) a year ago. First of all, I expect it from Wade. But second, I don't have that high an opinion of the vetting process that goes into journal articles. Peer review is not the arbiter of truth, it's the beginning of the investigation -- plenty of carefully-worded refereed journal articles (*especially* in Nature & Science) are also over-ambitious, breathlessly phrased, and written to attract (more) funding. Whatever the business of newspapers is, it should be clear that the business of [some] journals is not science, but *surprising* science. That's often a different thing.
