Fostering students’ ability to write with originality while upholding academic integrity, has become a vital mission for educators in academic research and teaching. Turnitin’s similarity checking service combines advanced matching technology with a rich and diverse content database, enabling instructors to quickly identify similarities in student assignments or manuscripts. This ensures the accuracy and appropriateness of citations and enhances the overall quality of students' written work.
According to educators around the world, Turnitin has proven effective in saving instructors’ time when reviewing student assignments and gaining deeper insights into student learning progress in class.
The newly released AI Writing Detection* further assists instructors in identifying text that may have been generated by generative AI bots like ChatGPT or paraphrased or bypassed using AI tools. This empowers educators to better assess the authenticity of student work and opens up meaningful conversation with students, helping them use new technologies responsibly while adhering to academic ethical standards.
*Note: This feature currently supports English, Japanese, and Spanish.
Key takeaways include:
l Interpret Turnitin’s similarity reports and understand how to apply filters and exclusions appropriately.
l Grasp the true meaning behind the “similarity percentage” and avoid making decisions based solely on the numeric value.
l Understand how to read the new AI Writing Detection Report, and explore how it can be used to support and guide students.

【LSL eResources series】Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) Advanced Applications Workshop:
Multi-omics Oncology Case (FAP) + Real-world Drug Toxicity Mechanisms (APAP)(In English)(Physical and Video Class)
2025-09-12 （Fri） 09:30~12:00
Ms.Christine Hsiung(Deputy project Manager,GGA Corp)
2F Computer classroom, Bldg. D, NBRP
This workshop systematically introduces how to use IPA for multi-omics interpretation, mechanism building, and toxicity prediction. The multi-omics track uses the FAP (oncology) case to integrate transcriptomics, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and metabolomics, building Canonical Pathways, Upstream Regulators, and Causal Networks. The toxicity track uses the widely used therapeutic APAP (acetaminophen/paracetamol) case to run IPA-Tox (Toxicity Functions) end-to-end, perform Comparison Analysis (time/species), link upstream regulators and causal networks to toxicity endpoints, and discuss cross-species extrapolation and PBPK concepts. We also extend to metabolomics/clinical biomarkers to bridge IPA-derived mechanisms to decision-making.

2. IPA Interpret Module Overview
3. Applying Multi-omics in IPA
3.1 Cancer Multi-omics (FAP):

The course content includes: design and requirements of preclinical study to support clinical trial in new drug development, key clinical considerations, and the design of Phase I, II, and III clinical trials. Additionally, the course will emphasize adaptive and enriched designs of clinical trials, real world data (RWD) and real world evidence (RWE), cancer clinical trials, and clinical considerations for the development of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) or innovative medical devices, which have been of particular interest in recent years.
To help the participants gain a deeper understanding of the course content, a practical session on R programming has been arranged. Participants are encouraged to prepare their own laptop and install the R and R STUDIO software in advance.
Participants who attend more than half of the total sessions will be awarded a certificate at the end of the course.
【LSL eResources series】Using TAIR for Plant Research: Practical Tools for Arabidopsis and Crops(In Chinese)(Physical and Video Class)
2025-09-25 （Thu） 10:00~12:00
Dr.Ho-Ming Chen(Associate Research Fellow, ABRC)
A133 Room, Agricultural Technology Building
Arabidopsis thaliana is the most extensively studied model plant. Its vast and high-quality data and annotations are not only important for Arabidopsis researchers, but also highly valuable for the study of other plant species, especially crops.
This workshop will introduce The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR), an online platform that provides gene annotations, sequence data, functional information, and a variety of useful research tools. We will focus on how to apply TAIR’s features to non-Arabidopsis research—such as identifying crop gene orthologs, predicting gene function, and exploring genomic features.
Through hands-on practice and live demonstrations, participants will learn to:
-
Navigate the TAIR website and gene information pages
-
Search for orthologs and use the BLAST tool
-
Use the genome browser to explore gene models and various high-throughput sequencing datasets
By the end of this workshop, you will feel more confident using TAIR to support your own research in comparative genomics, functional prediction, and hypothesis generation.
