Nature has just made a number of interesting articles available dealing with data management in systems biology and the interconnections between data and publications; these may be of interest to CNI-announce readers concerned with e-research, data curation, or implications of e-science for scholarly publishing.

In November 2006, Nature Cell Biology and Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology present a joint Focus that aims to inform cell and molecular biologists how they can apply systems biology approaches to their research. Access the Focus FREE online from November. Produced with support from Pfizer, The Mathworks, Merrimack, Novartis and Entelos, and in association with the National Centers for Systems Biology and Molecular Systems Biology. http://ealerts.nature.com/cgi-bin24/DM/y/ea3m0SoqXW0HjB0BDhk0Ed
