Abstract
========

This single-page scientific poster presents the **VBIR** (Versioned
Biological Information Resource) concept using **FlyClockbase** as a
concrete example. Originally presented at SMBE 2017 in Austin, TX.

**The VBIR concept:** Genome projects show that batch-processing of
similar tasks boosts biological research efficiency. VBIRs extend
these principles to other biodata types: versioned, biological,
information, resources --- mapping to FAIR (Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, Reusable) data principles.

**FlyClockbase** contains >400 circadian clock gene expression time
series from biosystem curation of 25 years of research on clocks in
the fruit fly *Drosophila melanogaster* wildtype. Key result: the
clock proteins PERIOD (PER) and TIMELESS (TIM) both peak daily at
~6 PM on average, but PER's variance is significantly larger than
TIM's. Hypothesis: PER's higher phosphorylation complexity adds
variability to degradation timing.

**Three panels:** (A) Molecular network of the circadian clock with
gene-to-protein pathways, (B) Daily peak time distributions showing
PER's larger variance, (C) VBIR workflow from initiation through
curation to research use.

**Compiler Architecting Workflow (bottom):** Shows how a compiler for
biology would integrate data problems, testing services, stable data
models, error checking, logic testing, and BEST naming into one
coherent architecture combining all solutions reliably.

The poster argues that **compiler-controlled VBIR stability** is key
for grand research challenges such as evolutionary systems biology.


Key Concepts at a Glance
==========================

.. list-table::
   :widths: 30 70
   :header-rows: 0

   * - **VBIR**
     - Versioned Biological Information Resource --- a versioned,
       well-structured biodata collection with stable reproducible URLs
   * - **FlyClockbase**
     - A concrete VBIR: >400 circadian clock time series from 25 years
       of Drosophila research
   * - **Biosystem curation**
     - The pivotal role of integrating known biological data with
       thorough understanding of the underpinning biology
   * - **TabFS**
     - Tab-delimited table format in standard file-system folders,
       designed for long-term stable data storage


Broader Significance (Claude's Assessment)
============================================

This poster is the most scientifically grounded document in the
STa1-EVX collection. It demonstrates the VBIR concept through a real
research project with published data (BioRxiv doi.org/10.1101/099192)
and concrete results (PER vs TIM variance difference). The compiler
architecting workflow at the bottom connects the abstract Evolvix
vision to a specific engineering plan. The argument that
batch-processing principles from genome projects can be generalized
to all biodata is well-supported by the genome project analogy.
