Summary
This study presents version 3 of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) competency framework. This updated framework refines bioinformatics competencies for education and training, aiding curriculum development globally.
Area of Science:
- Bioinformatics
- Computational Biology
- Life Sciences Education
Background:
- Developing bioinformatics competency is globally challenging due to the field's breadth and diverse audiences.
- Competency frameworks define essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes for bioinformatics professionals.
- Previous ISCB competency lists (since 2014) have been iteratively improved.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present version 3 of the ISCB competency framework.
- To detail the development process and accessibility of the framework.
- To provide examples of the framework's application in bioinformatics training.
Main Methods:
- Refinement and extension of existing ISCB bioinformatics competencies.
- Consultation with a broad bioinformatics training community.
- Inclusion of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and mappings to other frameworks.
Main Results:
- Version 3 of the ISCB competency framework is now available.
- The framework has been refined and extended based on community input.
- Examples of framework application are provided.
Conclusions:
- The ISCB competency framework (v3) offers a structured approach to bioinformatics education and training.
- This resource aids in defining curricula and standardizing competency development.
- The framework is openly accessible for global use and adaptation.

Bacteria and archaea are susceptible to viral infections just like eukaryotes; therefore, they have developed a unique adaptive immune system to protect themselves. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) are present in more than 45% of known bacteria and 90% of known archaea.
The CRISPR-Cas system stores a copy of foreign DNA in the host genome and uses it to identify the foreign DNA upon reinfection. CRISPR-Cas has three different...

01:11IP3/DAG Signaling Pathway
11.9K
Membrane lipids such as phosphatidylinositol (PI) are precursors for several membrane-bound and soluble second messengers. Specific kinases phosphorylate PI and produce phosphorylated inositol phospholipids. One such inositol phospholipids are the phosphatidylinositol-4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], present in the inner half of the lipid bilayer. Upon ligand binding, GPCR stimulates Gq proteins to turn on phospholipase Cꞵ. Activated phospholipase Cꞵ cleaves PI(4,5)P2 and...
