Nucleotide sequencing data at the ENA

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 with Maira Ihsan (User Support Bioinformatician, EMBL-EBI), recorded on 27 September 2023, provides introduction to the data and metadata structures for nucleotides at the ENA. It also demonstrates how you can submit data to this archive, and retrieve submitted data relevant to your field of work.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this video 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

After exploring resources for non-coding RNAs and nucleotide sequences, you can now delve into nucleotides at the level of genes and genomes using the Ensembl genome browser in the following section.
