GigaScience, GigaDB and BioSharing

Revolutionizing data collection, dissemination and use, GigaScience launches the new integrated journal and database in collaboration with BGI and BioMed Central, and working closely with the BioSharing and the ISA commons communities to maintain the highest data and metadata standards.

The novel format of publishing integrates manuscript publication with  the GigaDB public database, where dataset (i) gets a DOI to make them discoverable, trackable and citable, and (ii) are structured according to community standards, via the ISA tools.
