EBI Search

The EBI Search engine, also known as EB-eye, is a scalable text search engine that provides easy and uniform access to the biological data resources hosted at the EMBL-EBI.

The data resources represented in the EBI Search engine include: nucleotide and protein sequences at both the genomic and proteomic levels, structures ranging from chemicals to macro-molecular complexes, gene-expression experiments, binary level molecular interactions as well as reaction maps and pathway models, functional classifications, biological ontologies, and comprehensive literature libraries covering the biomedical sciences and related intellectual property.

The EBI Search presents search results that are up-to-date with the data resources and provides an easy inter-domain navigation via a network of cross-references.

It can be accessed over the web or programmatically using a SOAP Web Services  interface. This allows its search and retrieval capabilities to be exploited in workflows and analytical pipe-lines. For more information you can have a look at the EBI Search help & documentation section.
