PRECISE is pleased to announce its latest release, with new features, content and services through our core products. Highlights include:
ODC-TBI: The Open Data Commons for Traumatic Brain Injury
The ODC-TBI is growing!
- 6 new public datasets released in the last 3 months
- The Paper of the Future is now! Congratulations to Drs. Talty, Anderson and VandeVord for advancing rigor and reproducibility in pre-clinical TBI by publishing papers with linked data and protocols.
Paper published in Neuroscience
Dataset in ODC-TBI
Data mapped to PRECISE CDEs
Detailed protocol in protocols.io
- Continued growth of user base: 15 new labs have been added in 2024, bringing the total to 115 labs, with > 200 datasets in the pipeline
Common Data Elements (CDEs) for Preclinical TBI:
New CDE data dictionary format to make it easier to use PRECISE CDEs and for integration into the National Library of Medicine.
A set of new animal subject CDEs has been released. These CDEs describe general study, animal and experimental characteristics such as age, sex, weight, strain, subject group etc
Previously released study metadata, TBI injury model, and common behavioral test CDEs have been updated
See videos of the sessions from the PRECISE hands-on workshop held at the National Neurotrauma Meeting in June 2024 on the importance of CDEs and how to use them:
Common Data Elements: How to best manage your data Dr. Russell Huie
Common Data Elements to Accelerate the Pace of Discovery Dr. Michelle LaPlaca
Model Catalog:
A new beta version of the Model Catalog has been released. Here’s what is new:
40 new studies were added, for a total of 450 papers
New landing page created for the Model Catalog providing information on the database, e.g., how are papers selected, links to help materials
Expanded data model now includes devices, making it easy to compare studies based on the device they used
Note: Devices can be viewed by selecting the table view and then clicking on the “”More columns” link in the top menu
New landing pages for each model type, providing easy to read summaries of papers, protocols, datasets, devices and relevant PRECISE CDEs associated with each model type in the Model Catalog
Three new TBI Protocols have been added to the PRECISE-TBI workspace on Protocols.io:
Blast Education resources:
Drs. Zezong Gu and Catherine Johnson continue to promote and practice reproducible practices for pre-clinical open field blast (ofb) research, making data and protocols openly available through ODC-TBI and protocols.io
Three sets of Open Field Blast studies data were uploaded to the ODC-TBI Repository, and were approved for publication after review and curation in following the PRECISE CDEs using the ODC-TBI tools for the CDE mapping.
The recently published articles, Jackson et al., 2024 Shock Waves, and Loflin and Johnson, 2024 Shock Waves cited the “open-field blast mode in mice” protocol made available at protocols.io. This protocol has been viewed > 700 times!
A new section on the use of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) to identify and cite PRECISE tools has been added to the website. RRIDs are unique identifiers that are used to identify and track the use of research resources, e.g., tools, organisms, antibodies, cell lilnes and more in the scientific literature and across databases.
RRIDs in action! RRIDs were included in new publications to make it easier to identify and track the precise tools and organisms used in this study:
