Pattern:

Tegomoh (2026), “Biological Data Infrastructure” section.

Example (AMA):

Tegomoh B. Biological Data Infrastructure. In: The Life Sciences AI Handbook. 2026. https://lifesciencesaihandbook.com/foundations/data-infrastructure.html

Example (BibTeX):

@incollection{tegomoh2026biologicaldatainfrastructure,
  author = {Tegomoh, Bryan},
  title = {Biological Data Infrastructure},
  booktitle = {The Life Sciences AI Handbook},

Citing Primary Sources Referenced in the Handbook

Best Practice: Cite the Original Source

When the handbook discusses journal articles, datasets, regulatory documents, or company disclosures, cite the original source for the claim. Cite the handbook for its framework, taxonomy, or interpretation.

Incorrect:

The handbook says AlphaFold 2 changed structure prediction.

Correct:

AlphaFold 2 improved protein structure prediction at CASP14 (Jumper et al., 2021).

Dated Citations for Regulatory and Company Sources

Regulatory guidance, agency pages, company disclosures, and product documentation change over time. Formal reports should include the access date for each cited source or archived page.

Recommended note:
