Three Nat.Biotech on standards for Biology

The first stone was thrown by Standard operating procedures - Is biological research ready for the new wave of data-reporting standards currently under development? [Nature Biotechnology - 24, 1299 (2006)], which was shortly followed by a survey of what the community thinks about this - Systems biology standards—the community speaks [Nature Biotechnology - 25, 390 - 391 (2007)] - and an informed oppinion that it is as much up to the funding stick as to the carrot of integration to make it happen - Incentivizing standards development and adoption [Nature Biotechnology - 25, 391 - 392 (2007)].
