EBI-hosted EU Project WebsitesThe following is a summary of EBI-hosted EU project websites:
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.
BioCatalogue Providing a curated catalogue of Life Science Web Services.
BioCatalogue will provide a single registration point for Web Service providers and a single search site for scientists and developers. BioCatalogue will also act as a place where the community can find contacts and meet the experts and maintainers of these services.BioSapiens A European Virtual Institute for Genome Annotation.
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.
E-MeP The European Membrane Protein Consortium
E-MeP's research platform focuses on developing and implementing new technologies to solve the bottlenecks that preclude the determination, at high throughput, of high-resolution structures of membrane proteins and membrane protein complexes.This is being achieved by integrating the activities of many of the world leaders in membrane protein structural biology. The E-MeP consortium develops methods and exchanges laboratory and in silico tools aimed at solving the structures of membrane proteins, which comprise more than 30% of known proteomes. EGA The European Genome-phenome Archive.
The European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) is designed to be a repository for all types of genotype experiments, including case control, population, and family studies.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.
EMBRACE A European Model for Bioinformatics Research and Community Education
The objective of EMBRACE is to draw together a wide group of experts
throughout Europe who are involved in the use of information
technology in the biomolecular sciences. The EMBRACE Network of
Excellence will optimise informatics and information exploitation by
pure and applied biological scientists in both the academic and
commercial sectors.The network will work to integrate the major databases and software tools in bioinformatics, using existing methods and emerging Grid service technologies. The integration efforts will be driven by an expanding set of test problems representing key issues for bioinformatics service providers and end-user biologists. As a result, groups throughout Europe will be able to use the EMBRACE service interfaces for their own local or proprietary data and tools. EMERALD Empowering the Microarray-Based European Research Area to Take a Lead in Development and Exploitation
The objective of this Coordination Action is to establish and disseminate quality metrics (QC), microarray standards and best laboratory practices (QA) thoughout the European microarray community.
This Coordination Action is designed to structure and organise these efforts at a European scale, this in close association with MGED. ENFIN European Network of Excellence Enabling Systems Biology
The ENFIN network is committed to provide a Europe-wide integration of
computational approaches in systems biology.Computational work includes the development of a distributed database infrastructure appropriate for small laboratories and development of analysis methods including Bayesian networks, metabolite flux modeling and correlations of protein modifications to pathways. Experimental techniques used to test this system include mass spectroscopy, synthetic peptide biochemistry and RNAi knockdown. FELICS Free European Life-science Information and Computational
Services
FELICS is a five-year, four-partner project to organise and release a
complete range of biomolecular information upon which European
life-science research depends. Two partners (EBI and SIB) will create
and provide such public-domain databases. A third partner (University
of Cologne) will be funded to release its BRENDA enzyme database into
the public domain. A fourth partner (European Patent Office) will
ensure inclusion of patent biomolecular information, and support for
people performing patent-related database searches.
IMPACT IMproving Protein Annotation through Coordination and Technology.
IMPACT is a 3 year, EU-funded project to continue to develop and enhance InterPro and it's contributing databases (Gene3D, Pfam, PRINTS, ProDom, Prosite, SMART, SuperFamily).INSDC International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration
The International Nucleotide Sequence Databases (INSD) have been
developed and maintained collaboratively between DDBJ, EMBL and
GenBank for over 18 years.
LRG Locus-Reference-Genomic.
LRG sequences provide a stable genomic DNA framework for reporting mutations with a permanent ID and core content that never changes.SPINE Structural Proteomics in Europe
Structural Proteomics In Europe (SPINE) is an integrated research
project which brings together some of the top European structural
biology institutions in an unprecedented collaborative effort to
develop new methods and technologies for high-throughput structural
biology.
SYMBIOmatics Synergies in Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics
The SYMBIOmatics Specific Support Action (SSA) is an information
gathering and dissemination activity that was designed to identify and
exploit synergies between bioinformatics and medical informatics as
well as identifying addressable challenges for the medium term
future. The project documented the state-of-the-art in biomedical
informatics in Europe and identified prioritised areas of new
opportunity.
