Interestingly, in other languages such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK languages), this is less of a problem, where for example the Japanese "

Lowering Pharma firewalls: Just for Bioinformatics or Chemoinformatics also
Notion of pre-competitive collaboration has been in under experiment steadily for quite sometime now. Notable examples are the Airbus consortium of European aircraft manufacturers, the Sematech consortium of US semiconductor manufacturers, banks working together to launch Visa and Mastercard, our recent moon lust and many more. But this was never a case for pharmaceutical industry until now which is now lowering industry firewalls to shift funding and focus from early- to late-stage projects by developing cooperation in the areas with little potential for differentiation most notably a shared i

Gladwell states as guidlines for a better omics data management
Universal application of high throughput omics technologies have enabled scientists to measure tens of thousands of data points in a single experiment. As a result of this scientific world has become deluged with data. This has greater implications the way science will be done in coming years. There is a general accord that science has turned more into a data management problem. Put the technical aspect of scientific data management aside, and ask can we depict useful and practically relevant conclusions from our past experiences in scientific data management, and what makes few data management strategie
