Abstract
War threatens scientific continuity by severing the mentorship networks that reproduce expertise. The Ukrainian Biological Data Science Summer School, held in person in western Ukraine each year since 2023, shows how distributed training, recursive mentorship and non-extractive international collaboration can preserve biological data science capacity under systemic stress.
期刊介绍:
Nature Genetics publishes the very highest quality research in genetics. It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the functional mechanism, architecture and evolution of gene networks, studied by experimental perturbation.
Integrative genetic topics comprise, but are not limited to:
-Genes in the pathology of human disease
-Molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits
-Cancer genetics
-Agricultural genomics
-Developmental genetics
-Regulatory variation in gene expression
-Strategies and technologies for extracting function from genomic data
-Pharmacological genomics
-Genome evolution
