 ZooKeysAddressing biodiversity data quality is a community-wide effort Improving data quality in large online data access facilities depends on a combination of automated checks and capturing expert knowledge, according to a paper published in Zookeys. The authors from the Atlas of Living Australia and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility welcome a recent paper by Mesibov (2013) highlighting errors in millipede data, but argue that addressing such issues requires the joint efforts of 'aggregators' and the wider expert community.

Biodiversity argumentation: How to get it right Finding the arguments with the best 'fit' for a specific situation was defined as the foundation of effective biodiversity argumentation during the first stakeholder meeting of the EU FP7 project BESAFE. In this context, the creation of a generally applicable web tool for biodiversity argumentation was discussed by the participants. The tool should be able to provide case-specific assistance in terms of the information required and the way it is most effectively used. Contact: Rob Bugter

Using big data to identify prostate cancers and best treatments Some prostate cancer patients unnecessarily undergo surgery or harsh treatments because science fails to identify the differences between slow-growing and aggressive forms of the disease. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutes are developing technology that allows patients to safely choose to do nothing, opt for relatively mild treatments or take drastic measures.

Cell MetabolismInsight into the dazzling impact of insulin in cells Australian scientists have charted the path of insulin action in cells in precise detail like never before. This provides a comprehensive blueprint for understanding what goes wrong in diabetes. The breakthrough study, conducted by Sean Humphrey and Professor David James from Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research, is now published in the early online edition of the prestigious journal Cell Metabolism.

ACS NanoPenn research makes advance in nanotech gene sequencing technique The allure of personalized medicine has made new, more efficient ways of sequencing genes a top research priority. One promising technique involves reading DNA bases using changes in electrical current as they are threaded through a nanoscopic hole. Now, a team led by University of Pennsylvania physicists has used solid-state nanopores to differentiate single-stranded DNA molecules containing sequences of a single repeating base.

Science SignalingBut what does it do? It is now easier to pinpoint exactly what molecules a phosphatase -- a type of protein that's essential for cells to react to their environment -- acts upon in human cells, thanks to the free online database DEPOD, created by EMBL scientists. Published today in Science Signaling, the overview of interactions could even help explain unforeseen side-effects of drugs.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesOut of sync with the world: Body clocks of depressed people are altered at cell level Every cell in our bodies runs on a 24-hour clock, tuned to the night-day, light-dark cycles that have ruled us since the dawn of humanity. But new research shows that the clock may be broken in the brains of people with depression -- even at the level of the gene activity inside their brain cells.

PLOS Computational BiologyEarly infant growth rate linked to composition of gut microbiota The composition of gut microbiota in a new-born baby's gut has been linked to the rate of early infant growth, reports research published this week in PLOS Computational Biology. The findings support the assertion that the early development of "microbiota" -- the body's microbial ecosystem -- in an infant can influence growth and thereby the likelihood of obesity.

Cell Death & DiseaseStudy: MicroRNA cooperation mutes breast cancer oncogenes "Imagine you have a microRNA that regulates genes A and B. Then you have another microRNA that regulates genes B and C. You amplify each microRNA to a degree that doesn't effect gene A or C, but their combined effect regulates gene B," says Bolin Liu, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
