The Global Biodata Coalition convenes the world’s life science research funders to address the challenge of sustainable funding for biodata resources globally.
A new article presents recommendations for the sustainable integration of artificial intelligence tools to enhance biocuration, based on the outcomes of a workshop at Biocuration 2025 co-organised by GBC and colleagues from our Global Core Biodata Resources.
