A powerful new software platform called the Playbook Workflow Builder is set to transform biomedical research by allowing scientists to conduct complex and customized data analyses without advanced programming skills. An article that describes the new platform was published in the April 3 online issue of the journal PLOS Computational Biology. Developed by a multi-institutional team that was led by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai investigators as part of the National Institutes of Health Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) program, researchers from across the United States developed the web-based platform that enables scientists to analyze and visualize their own data independently through an intuitive, interactive interface.

Coastal wetlands are crucial for providing animals with food and shelter during disturbances. However, these ecosystems are under threat from rapidly spreading non-native aquatic plants, climate change, and dam regulation. Northern pike, native predators in the St. Lawrence River, have been forced to spawn in less optimal, deeper nearshore areas due to the invasive hybrid cattail (Typha x glauca) and water level regulation.
