EMBL - EBI Unveils Open Data for Biodiversity , Climate

EMBL-EBI s diverse data resources are pivotal in advancing research on biodiversity and climate change. These resources enable scientists to study species interactions, evolutionary processes, and ecosystem health. The Biodiversity Portal aggregates genomic data from global initiatives, offering tools for visualizing organism relationships and tracking sequencing progress. MGnify provides insights into microbial communities, supporting studies on microbiomes in different environments and their roles in ecosystems. Ensembl Rapid Release offers quick access to the latest genome sequences, crucial for biodiversity projects aiming to understand species before potential extinction. UniProt and the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) provide protein sequence and nucleotide sequence data, respectively, aiding in the exploration of protein structures and evolutionary lineages. The Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) and the AlphaFold Database offer 3D structures of proteins, enhancing the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying biodiversity. BioSamples stores detailed descriptions and metadata for biological samples, facilitating accurate tracing of sample origins and comparisons with other datasets. EMBL-EBI also manages data portals for large international biodiversity projects, further supporting research in this field. Overall, EMBL-EBI s open data resources are instrumental in advancing scientific research and developing sustainable solutions for the future of our planet, particularly in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss.
