  • Bioinformatique pour les Chercheurs en Sciences de la Vie : Outils et Ressources d’Apprentissage
    Dataset

    By Competitiveness, Technology and Innovation Division (VPS/PTI/CTI)
    The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that bioinformatics--a multidisciplinary field that combines biological knowledge with computer programming concerned with the acquisition, storage, analysis, and dissemination of biological data--has a fundamental role in scientific research strategies in all disciplines involved in fighting the virus and its variants. It aids in sequencing and annotating genomes and their observed mutations; analyzing gene and protein expression; simulation and modeling of DNA, RNA, proteins and biomolecular interactions; and mining of biological literature, among many other critical areas of research. Studies suggest that bioinformatics skills in the Latin American and Caribbean region are relatively incipient, and thus its scientific systems cannot take full advantage of the increasing availability of bioinformatic tools and data. This dataset is a catalog of bioinformatics software for researchers and professionals working in life sciences. It includes more than...

  • Données de Réplication pour: How Effective is Energy-efficient Housing?: Evidence From a Field Experiment in Mexico
    Dataset

    By Office of Strategic Planning and Development Effectiveness (STC/SPD/SPD)
    These data were collected for the evaluation of a field trial in Mexico in which a quasi-random sample of new homes was provided with insulation and other energy efficiency upgrades. The field trial took place in a large housing development in Northeast Mexico in the state of Nuevo Leon. The evaluation survey includes a rich set of demographic, socioeconomic, and electricity variables. Temperature and humidity measurements from data loggers were also recorded.

    Dataset

    By IDB Lab (IDB Lab)
    The phenomenon of digital platforms, which has been a major global disruption in the world of work for nearly a decade, is relatively new in Argentina. By early 2016, five platforms operated in the country, all of them domestically owned. Starting that year, due to factors such as the flexibilization of the payment system for international transactions and others, the entry of new platforms and subsidiaries of foreign companies into the Argentine market accelerated. This influx also boosted new investments directed at locally established platforms. ETP18 is a database on the key characteristics of platform economy activities and workers’ perceptions of these platforms in Argentina in 2018. It provides unique insights aimed at generating new knowledge through this research. The survey was conducted with workers from 11 selected platforms: Mercado Libre, Airbnb, Uber, Cabify, Zolvers, Ando, Glovo, Rappi, Workana, Freelancer, and IguanaFix. The database comprises a sample of 603 cases....
