Summary
The MIRIAM Registry manages life science data resources, creating unique identifiers via Identifiers.org. Future plans involve community efforts to sustain registry curation and expansion.
Area of Science:
- Bioinformatics
- Data Management
- Life Sciences
Background:
- The MIRIAM Registry documents life science data collections and their accessibility.
- Identifiers.org utilizes this registry to create persistent, globally unique Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).
- These URIs are crucial for cross-referencing and annotating biological data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the MIRIAM Registry and its role in generating persistent identifiers.
- To outline the increasing curational workload associated with registry maintenance.
- To propose strategies for sustainable expansion and workload distribution through community involvement.
Main Methods:
- Information retrieval and curation of life science data resource metadata.
- Integration with the Identifiers.org infrastructure for URI generation.
- Analysis of curational effort demands and planning for collaborative solutions.
Main Results:
- The MIRIAM Registry is a key component in the Identifiers.org ecosystem.
- Growing demand for unique identifiers necessitates increased curational efforts.
- A need exists for sustainable solutions to manage registry expansion.
Conclusions:
- The MIRIAM Registry plays a vital role in life science data discoverability and integration.
- Community-driven efforts are essential for the long-term sustainability and growth of the registry.
- Collaborative models will be implemented to manage the expanding curational workload.

02:02Cis-regulatory Sequences
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

01:16IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
IUPAC names of carboxylic acids are systematically derived following a few rules discussed below.
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
