BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TEAM

 

 

The team operates in the area of biological data coordination, archiving and management with two core programmes of activity: Data coordination and management for collaborative projects and the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena), the database of record for nucleotide sequence data and member of the International Nucleotide Sequencing Database Collaboration. Team activities span content curation, data marshalling, training, helpdesk, standards development, the provision of data hubs and portals and the translation of bioinformatics infrastructure to user communities.

Role in the Consortium

WP: 2

Tasks: 2.1, 2.2, (3.2)

Sub-tasks: 2.1.3, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, (3.2.1)

Leadership of subtask 2.1.3: provision of a data sharing platform for non-human amplicon and shotgun data with sample tracking (non-identifying fields); mediation to bring data sharing agreement within the platform; web and programmatic interfaces for reporting and consuming shared data content and presentation of data for analysis.

Participation in subtask 2.2.3: contribution to amplicon sequence analysis in samples from different body fluids.

Participation in subtask 2.2.4: contribution to shotgun metagenome sequence analysis in samples from different body fluids.

Support for subtask 3.2.1: provision of public domain reference sequence and related data.
