## Abstract

Project Summary
It is critical to the mission YRC as a Biomedical Technology Research Resource (BTRC) to disseminate newly
developed technology and associated data to the research community and the public. To maximize the impact
and utility of technology and data, the YRC is committed to making technology and data as accessible as
possible to biomedical researchers and data scientists alike. The YRC will continue to invest in the
development of high-quality, high-impact publications, talks, and seminars describing the details and
application of new technology. Online, the YRC will develop and maintain a comprehensive public website
designed around the center TR&Ds that describes the technology in detail, provides information about the
center, links to all publications, provides access to YRC-developed software, links to online data resources,
and reaches out to potential collaborators who wish to leverage our technology in their own research.
The YRC generates large amounts of complex experimental data and inferred biology results from both
technology development and the application of our technology to ongoing collaborations. The YRC is
committed to making all of these data available to the public. When possible, data are submitted to existing
online data resources designed to disseminate specific types of data. However, because of the cutting-edge
nature of the YRC, it is often the case that no such resource exists. In these cases, the YRC has developed
(and will continue to develop) new data dissemination technology designed for new kinds of data. Intuitive,
responsive interfaces, integrated with other data and biological annotations, help ensure biologists and
biomedical researches can find and make the most effective use of YRC data. Additionally, raw data
downloads and integrated web services application program interfaces (APIs) ensure bioinformaticians and
data scientists can find and make the most use of the data, as well.
Collaborative data are confidential by nature, so cannot be made immediately available to the public. To
support private dissemination of these data, the YRC has developed secure data dissemination resources
designed for collaborators to search, visualize, and analyze their data. These resources will be integrated to
support a better single point-of-contact for collaborators to receive YRC data. The resources will be updated to
improve and simplify the visual interface to the data, to simplify the submission of data to both non-YRC and
YRC public data dissemination platforms, and to simplify the collation of project-related data for annual
reporting requirements.
The development of technology often includes the development of new software with broad, high impact
applicability to the research community. The YRC is committed to the dissemination of these software in a way
that fosters use, extension, and contribution from the research community—including free software licenses,
source code availability, and comprehensive...
