Summary
Researchers can publish biodiversity data links using datasettes, which are databases with web servers. This method simplifies sharing cross-links for the biodiversity knowledge graph, aiding data integration.
Area of Science:
- Biodiversity informatics
- Computational biology
- Data science
Background:
- Building a biodiversity knowledge graph requires extensive cross-linking of diverse entities across datasets.
- Publishing these link databases is challenging for researchers aiming to accelerate knowledge graph construction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a lightweight and effective method for publishing databases of cross-links between biodiversity data entities.
- To demonstrate the utility of datasettes for sharing biodiversity-related link data.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing datasettes, which combine a database with a web server for data querying.
- Packaging datasettes into Docker containers for easy online hosting.
- Illustrating the approach with a dataset linking plant taxonomic names to their publishing articles.
Main Results:
- Datasettes provide a simple and accessible way to publish link databases.
- The Dockerized datasette approach allows for minimal effort in online hosting.
- Successfully demonstrated linking plant names to taxonomic articles.
Conclusions:
- Datasettes offer a practical solution for researchers to publish link datasets, facilitating the growth of biodiversity knowledge graphs.
- This method lowers the barrier to data sharing and integration in biodiversity informatics.

02:21Naming Enantiomers
26.1K
The naming of enantiomers employs the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog rules that involve assigning priorities to different substituent groups at a chiral center. Each enantiomer, being a distinct molecule, is assigned a unique name by the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog (CIP) rules, also called the R–S system. The prefix R- or S- attached to the chiral centers in an enantiomer is dependent on the spatial arrangement of the four substituents on the chiral center. The R–S system essentially comprises three...

01:11Common Names of Aldehydes and Ketones
5.0K
Some common aldehydes and ketones are popularly known by their common names used historically and predate the IUPAC nomenclature.
Common names of aldehydes are derived from the names of their corresponding acid. For instance, the two-carbon aldehyde–acetaldehyde derives its name from the corresponding acid–acetic acid. Similarly, formaldehyde derives its name from formic acid and benzaldehyde from benzoic acid.
Aliphatic ketones are named by suffixing the word “ketone” to the...

02:04Covalently Linked Protein Regulators
9.6K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.

01:56Plant Hormones
27.6K
Plant hormones—or phytohormones—are chemical molecules that modulate one or more physiological processes of a plant. In animals, hormones are often produced in specific glands and circulated via the circulatory system. However, plants lack hormone-producing glands.

00:53Tonicity in Plants
59.9K
Tonicity describes the capacity of a cell to lose or gain water. It depends on the quantity of solute that does not penetrate the membrane. Tonicity delimits the magnitude and direction of osmosis and results in three possible scenarios that alter the volume of a cell: hypertonicity, hypotonicity, and isotonicity. Due to differences in structure and physiology, tonicity of plant cells is different from that of animal cells in some scenarios.
