About
Advances in agricultural research increasingly depend on data-driven discovery, and the amount of data being generated is increasing exponentially. For this data to be maximally valid, researchers need to know what data is available, how to utilize it, and how to share it back with the community. For example, to realize the promise of large language model (LLM)- based applications in facilitating data integration and predictive biology reliably, requires training on the structured, curated data found in such knowledge-bases. This workshop will introduce plant biologists to a variety of digital bioinformatics resources, such as community databases, data repositories, online bioinformatics tools and knowledgebases that provide equitable access to high-quality curated, structured, integrated data and analytic tools. These resources enable researchers to generate hypotheses more quickly, design experiments, and analyze data more efficiently.
