| Take advantage of our partnership with Figshare |
Since 2010, the GSA Journals have committed to making data publicly accessible, and our partnership with Figshare supports that commitment. Figshare can host large datasets, code freezes, and more—so you can archive all of the data associated with your manuscript together in one place, with no file type or file size restrictions.

| ECS Leadership Spotlight — Nathaniel Noblett |
Noblett’s research aims to better understand how neural tube defects develop by characterizing formation of the ventral nerve cord in C. elegans. As part of the Policy Subcommittee, he plans to promote an understanding of policy and advocacy among the wider scientific community by working with a diverse number of scientists from across the globe, gaining insight into the challenges and opportunities in their communities.

| EMBO I EMBL Symposium: Multiomics to Mechanisms - Challenges in Data Integration |
This conference will provide a platform for bringing together leading researchers from computational biology, various omics fields, and technology development to present their latest work and discuss applications, future ideas, and the challenges for integrating large-scale biological data across different biological technologies and disciplines. A specific focus will be on discussing data integration of high-throughput technologies with molecular biology approaches.

| EMBO Workshop: Creating Is Understanding: Synthetic Biology Masters Complexity |
| This workshop fosters the trust that creating is understanding. The programme focuses on four central questions that are geared toward basic research while being at the forefront of synthetic biology: |
| • | How can engineering be used as an interpretive framework to biology? |
| • |
How can biology be interfaced with the non living? |
| • |
How can synthetic biology be used to reconstruct cellular systems? |
| • |
How is other biology possible through engineering? |

| EMBO I EMBL Symposium: Systems Genetics: From Genomes to Complex Traits |
Next generation sequencing, genome editing, deep mutational scans, and single cell biology are opening up unprecedented opportunities to understand how genetic variation alters molecular mechanisms to cause phenotypic variation amongst individuals, including quantitative traits and human disease. This meeting will bring together groups using experimental, statistical, and mechanistic modelling approaches to address these questions at different scales and in diverse model systems, including for human disease.
