Selection of resources and research institutes

EBI - European Bioinformatics Institute

The EBI is a center for research and services in bioinformatics and forms part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). The Institute manages databases of biological data including nucleic acid, protein sequences and macromolecular structures.

EMBL - European Molecular Biology Laboratory

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] was established in 1974 and is supported by 20 member states and one associate member. EMBL consists of five facilities: the main Laboratory in Heidelberg and Outstations in Hamburg, Grenoble, Hinxton and Monterotondo.

HUPO - The Human Proteome Organisation

HUPO is an international scientific organization representing and promoting proteomics through international cooperation and collaborations by fostering the development of new technologies, techniques and training.

NCBI - National Center for Biotechnology Information (US)

An American resource for molecular biology information established in 1988. NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information. 

ISB - Institute for Systems Biology

The Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle (ISB) was co-founded in 2000 by Alan Aderem, Ruedi Aebersold, and Leroy Hood. The ISB has developed a philosophy, an environment, and an administrative structure that transcends traditional organizational and disciplinary barriers.

 

European Initiatives

BioSapiens - A European Virtual Institute for Genome Annotation

BioSapiens is a Network of Excellence, funded by the European Union's FP6. The objective of the BioSapiens is to provide a large scale, concerted effort to annotate genome data by laboratories distributed around Europe, using both informatics tools and input from experimentalists. 

Elixir - European Life Sciences Infrastructure for Biological Information

The mission of ELIXIR is to construct and operate a sustainable infrastructure for biological information in Europe to support life science research and its translation to medicine and the environment, the bio-industries and society. 

EMBnet - European Molecular Biology Network

EMBnet is a science-based group of collaborating nodes throughout Europe and a number of nodes outside Europe. The combined expertise of the nodes allows EMBnet to provide services to the European molecular biology community which encompasses more than can be provided by a single node. This site gives an overview of the organization and of it's members. It provides the visitors with news of the EMBnet community and new links related to bioinformatics.

EMBOSS

EMBOSS is "The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite". EMBOSS is a free Open Source software analysis package specially developed for the needs of the molecular biology (e.g. EMBnet) user community

EMBRACE Network of Excellence

A European Model for Bioinformatics Research and Community Education. Groups throughout Europe will be able to use the EMBRACE service interfaces for their own local or proprietary data and tools. 

ENFIN - Enabling Systems Biology

ENFIN stands for Experimental Network for Functional INtegration. The Eurpoean Network of Excellence ENFIN is commtited to provide a Europa-wide integration of computational approaches in systems biology.

Ensembl

The Ensembl project produces genome databases for vertebrates and other eukaryotic species, and makes this information freely available online. It is a joint project between EMBL - EBI and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to develop a software system which produces and maintains automatic annotation on selected eukaryotic genomes.

ESF - European Science Foundation

The ESF provides a common platform for its Member Organisations in order to advance European research and explore new directions for research at the European level.

 

Large scale projects

Human Genome Project

Official information site for the Human Genome Project.

1000 Genomes - A Deep Catalog of Human Genetic Variation

The 1000 Genomes Project is an international research consortium formed to create the most detailed and medically useful picture to date of human genetic variation.

HapMap

The International HapMap Project is a partnership of scientists and funding agencies from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States to develop a public resource that will help researchers find genes associated with human disease and response to pharmaceuticals.
