Recommended reads of the week
De-novo FAIRification via an Electronic Data Capture system by automated transformation of filled electronic Case Report Forms into machine-readable data
Published by ELIXIR Netherlands
In medical research, data is often collected and stored via electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) in Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems. By implementing a de-novo FAIRification process in such a system, the reusability and, thus, scalability of FAIRification across research projects can be greatly improved.

Sequence variation, common tissue expression patterns and learning models: a genome-wide survey of vertebrate ribosomal proteins
Published by ELIXIR Greece
There are notions that some protein-coding ribosomal genes vary in their roles across species, particularly vertebrates, through the involvement of some in a number of genetic diseases. Based on extensive sequence comparisons and systematic curation, we establish a reference set for ribosomal proteins (RPs) in eleven vertebrate species and quantify their sequence conservation levels.

Dutch government invests 68.5 million to advance Health-RI's national health data infrastructure
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of an integrated national health data infrastructure. In receiving this funding Health-RI, for which DTL/ELIXIR-NL is a co-founder, is able to further develop the infrastructure needed to securely store, combine and make health data accessible for research and innovation.

CWL Lesson Hackathon
ELIXIR-NL organised a CWL Lesson Hackathon 22-23 March, 2021. By the end of the lesson hackathon, the team made good progress towards a coherent CWL lesson aimed for novices, fully (re-)usable both by ELIXIR, the CWL community and anyone that needs practical, hands-on training on CWL.
The group will continue the efforts through regular monthly meetings, in order to finalise and further refine the lesson.
