Reproducible Science in the Digital Age

Abstract

Leveraging Authentic Data for Life Science Breakthroughs

Reproducibility is one of the most urgent challenges in life science research. Irreproducible results are often driven by unauthenticated biological materials and datasets with unclear provenance—risks that are amplified as research increasingly moves toward digital biology and in silico experimentation. This webinar explores how the ATCC Genome Portal (AGP) supports reproducible, data‑driven research by providing access to authenticated microbial and cell line genomic datasets for benchmarking, quality control, and discovery. Learn how ATCC’s ISO‑certified pipelines, transparent QC metrics, and rich metadata help researchers meet rigorous scientific standards and accelerate innovation. Attendees will see demonstrations of new ATCC Genome Portal capabilities, including taxonomy‑tree navigation for microbial strain selection and expanded cell line ’omics datasets that support drug development and assay design. Real‑world case studies will illustrate how integrating physical biomaterials with trusted digital reference data reduces experimental variability, strengthens data provenance, and streamlines translational research.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify and mitigate common reproducibility risks using authenticated data
• Navigate the ATCC Genome Portal to find relevant materials and datasets
• Integrate genomic and transcriptomic data into in silico workflows via the web interface or REST API
• Apply best practices for data provenance, traceability, and scientific integrity We’ll also highlight flexible access options, including membership models designed for teams that require bulk downloads, API integration, and ongoing data releases.
