iHUB: Collaborative International Network for Ionomics (PiiMS)

Improving our understanding of how plants take up, transport and store their nutrient and toxic elements, collectively known as the ionome, will benefit human health and the natural environment. Here you will find curated ionomic data on many thousands of plant samples freely available to the public.
ionomicHUB or iHUB for short is an international collaborative cyber research environment to enhance our ability to identify and understand the genes and gene networks that function to control the ionome, the mineral nutrient and trace element composition of an organism or tissue. The iHUB is a collaborative workspace with components that integrate both cyberinfrastructure and human interactions to maximize both community access to ionomic resources, and knowledge extraction from these resources. Specifically, the iHUB project will deliver
iHub

tools to allow the easy sharing and annotation of data,
the LitCloud: A tool to allow the easy filtering and sharing of literature,
tools to allow the coordinated collection of ionomics data from distributed sites,
tools to allow the easy sharing of presentations and lectures,
tools to allow the self formation of online work groups and communication,
the iHUB interaction map (iHUB interactome), and
on-line help tools.

The iHUB is founded on the existing public ionomics database (www.ionomicshub.org) which currently contains ionomic data on over 200,000 samples, including Arabidopsis thaliana, rice and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To ensure integration of the iHUB with the community we also plan workshops and scientist exchanges.
These iHUB functionalities will help bridge the growing gap between the high-throughput generation of ionomic data and the efficient probing of gene function on a genomic and comparative genomic scale. The iHUB will facilitate open communication and exchange of information, and will lower the barrier for entry into the field of ionomics, allowing a diverse set of researchers from developed and developing nations to participate in advancing the field. The information obtained from the discoveries facilitated by the iHUB will be valuable from the point of view of improving crop yields, enhancing agricultural sustainability, and improving food quality for human nutrition.

深化我们对植物如何吸收、运输和储存其营养及毒性元素——统称为离子组——的理解，将有助于人类健康和自然环境。在此，您将发现经过精心挑选的离子组数据，涉及数以千计的植物样本，这些数据免费向公众开放。

离子组枢纽（简称ionomicHUB或iHUB）是一个国际协作的虚拟研究环境，旨在提升我们识别和解析控制离子组（即生物体或组织中的矿物营养和微量元素组成）的基因及其基因网络的能力。iHUB是一个协作工作空间，其组成部分整合了网络基础设施与人际互动，旨在最大化社区对离子组资源的访问，并从中提取知识。具体而言，iHUB项目将提供以下工具：

- 允许轻松共享和注释数据的工具；

- 文献云（LitCloud）：一种允许轻松过滤和共享文献的工具；

- 允许从分布式地点协调收集离子组数据的工具；

- 允许轻松共享演示文稿和讲座的工具；

- 允许在线工作组和通信自组织形成的工具；

- iHUB交互图（iHUB互作组）；

- 在线帮助工具。

iHUB建立在现有的公共离子组数据库（www.ionomicshub.org）之上，该数据库目前包含超过20万个样本的离子组数据，包括拟南芥（Arabidopsis thaliana）、水稻和酿酒酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）。为确保iHUB与社区的整合，我们还计划举办研讨会和科学家交流活动。

iHUB的功能将有助于弥合高通量生成离子组数据与高效探测基因组及比较基因组尺度上基因功能之间的日益增长的差距。iHUB将促进开放沟通和信息交流，降低进入离子组领域的门槛，使得来自发达国家和开发中国家的研究者群体都能参与到该领域的发展中来。由iHUB促进的发现所获得的信息，从提高作物产量、增强农业可持续性和改善人类营养食品质量的角度来看，将具有极高的价值。
