Intro

The European Bioinformatics Institute

EMBL-EBI provides freely available data from life science experiments to users across the globe, performs basic research in computational biology and offers an extensive user training programme, supporting researchers in academia and industry. We house the world's largest collection of biological databases in a single institute and produce many of these in collaboration with other major institutes and research groups, including the NCBI, Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. We, and representatives from the group we collaborate with, will present some of these resources, including a brief overview of the data they contain and how to access and use this valuable information. Presenters will then be available for detailed questions both after the workshop and at the EBI stand in the exhibition hall.
