[[Bioinformatics]] has multitudinous identities, organizational alignments and disciplinary links.

We report on the epistemic and social arrangements that characterize the relationship between bioinformatics and life science. We describe, in sociological terms, the character, power and future of bioinformatic work. The character of bioinformatic work is such that its cultural, institutional and technical structures allow for it to be black-boxed easily. The result is that bioinformatic expertise and contributions travel easily and quickly, yet remain largely uncredited. The power of bioinformatic work is shaped by its dependency on life science work, which combined with the black-boxed character of bioinformatic expertise further contributes to situating bioinformatics on the periphery of the life sciences. Finally, the imagined futures of bioinformatic work suggest that bioinformatics will become ever more indispensable without necessarily becoming more visible, forcing bioinformaticians into difficult professional and career choices.

"Ten simple rules for managing laboratory information"

Information is the cornerstone of research, from experimental data/metadata and computational processes to complex inventories of reagents and equipment. These 10 simple rules discuss best practices for leveraging laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to transform this large information load into useful scientific findings. The development of mathematical models that can predict the properties of biological systems is the holy grail of computational biology. Such models can be used to test biological hypotheses, guide the development of biomanufactured products, engineer new systems meeting user-defined specifications, and much more ...
