DECIDE subprojects done the FAIR way — with a public data catalogue and, per project, data, documentation and analysis one click apart.
Edit me

These are DECIDE subprojects taken end-to-end the FAIR way — our show-off examples of good scientific practice. Where a project is FAIR-ready, its Data, Documentation and Analysis are one click apart: the cloud folder, the protocols and metadata, and the runnable notebook — so you can go straight from data to reproducing the result. Access is governed by Nextcloud’s fine-grained permissions; some links are on the university network only (VPN).

Catalogues

DECIDE · open data

Public data catalogue

Browse DECIDE's openly available datasets, organised by subproject — each project's public data is appended here as it is released.

DECIDE · Science Club

Science Club knowledgebase

The Science Club's shared knowledgebase in the cloud — talks, materials and resources collected by the community.

Showcase use cases — CRC projects

A03 · Gomez de Agüero★ Flagship

Triple RNA-seq · neonatal skin

Colonisation vs infection at the newborn skin–microbiota interface, with data sharing and HPC setup.

A04 · Faber★ Flagship

Co-infection · decision nodes

Molecular decision nodes in a C. difficile / B. theta co-infection model (epithelial / HT29), prepared for FAIR publication.

A04 · Faber★ Flagship

Butyrate & infection · organoid

Testing whether butyrate explains infection-related phenotypes — a C. difficile organoid comparison arm to the co-infection model.

B01 · Akash (Rudel)

Chlamydia host–pathogen interaction

Dissecting the Chlamydia–host interface.

In preparation — FAIR folder being prepped
A06 · Löffler

Dual RNA-seq · lung

Host and pathogen transcriptomes captured in parallel in lung infection.

In planning
C03 · Kurzai / Ohlsen

Coming soon

Showcase in preparation — topic being finalised.

Platform & data services — Z02 / INF

Z02 · Beste

CellWhisperer — talk to your data

Talk to your sequencing data: query single-cell datasets in natural language.

Z02 · Beste

cycleHCR spatial imaging

Highly multiplexed spatial imaging, analysed collaboratively on the HPC.

Z02 · Saliba

Infection Atlas

An integrated single-cell expression landscape for DECIDE RNA-seq and single-cell studies.

In preparation · Z02 virtual poster available
Z02 / INF · Immendahl

Metadata engine / catalogue

Standardises and enriches metadata across DECIDE datasets — the connective tissue for FAIR.

In planning

The "ask the bot" link opens a Nextcloud Talk assistant trained on consortium literature. Analysis links (JupyterHub, port 8000 / CellWhisperer, port 5005) run on the HPC and require the university network (VPN).

Bioinformatics tools

Würzburg Bioinformatics

Analysis tools & pipelines

Network and omics analysis tools from the Würzburg Bioinformatics group — dynamic network and enzyme analysis (Prosimat), Boolean network simulation (JimenaE), metabolic analysis (YanaSquare), and RNA-seq analysis (RNAanalyzer), plus semi-automated omics and integrated-network pipelines.
