Functional genetic variation in humans: comprehensive map published
GEUVADIS project presents the largest-ever dataset linking human genomes to gene activity at the level of RNA.
Wired for change
A new study of gene expression reveals the first steps of evolution in gene regulation in mice. Published in the journal Cell, the research has implications for the study of differences in gene regulation between people.
Research infrastructures
EMBL-EBI is a pivotal partner in ELIXIR, the European life sciences infrastructure for biological information, as part of the European Strategy on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) process. On behalf of ELIXIR, EMBL-EBI coordinates BioMedBridges, which develops technical bridges for interoperability between data and services in the ESFRI biomedical sciences research infrastructures. These collaborative projects are undertaken with our partners in the European Member States.
Industry
The Industry Programme is a forum for interaction between EMBL-EBI and the industrial life-science research sector. Our member organisations, which include pharmaceutical and agribusiness companies, engage with EMBL-EBI in the latest bioinformatics research, service and standards development as well as training and pre-competitive projects. We also support small and medium-sized enterprises through our SME Forum.
