The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) is an open-access, supported platform for the management, sharing, integration, archiving and dissemination of sequence data. The archive provides a comprehensive record of the world’s nucleotide sequencing information, covering raw sequencing data, sequence assembly information and functional annotation. 

This webinar will introduce you to the data and metadata structures for nucleotides at the ENA. It will support you in learning about how you can submit data to this archive, and retrieve submitted data relevant to your field of work

Who is this course for?

This webinar is aimed at individuals who are new to nucleotide data submission and/or data retrieval at the ENA. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but an undergraduate level understanding of biology would be useful.

This event is part of a webinar series - Molecular building blocks of life - showcasing the EMBL-EBI resources that provide data and tools for studying molecular building blocks of life at molecular level such as metabolites, DNA/RNA, proteins, and at systems level such as cells. Check out other webinars in this series.

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar you will be able to:

• Identify the importance and structure of the ENA metadata model
• Explore the submission routes for different data types
• Use the tools available to retrieve data at the ENA
